Former WWE Champion Sid Vicious Feels Roman Reigns Is "Light Years" Ahead Of Kevin Owens
Most wrestling fans would probably disagree, but former WWE Champion Sid Visions, AKA Sycho Sid, feels Roman Reigns is on a different level to Kevin Owens, & had some disparaging things to say about the latter.
It's fair to say Sycho Sid Vicious isn't a big Kevin Owens fan.
In the video interview below, the former WWE Champion is asked about some of the current WWE talent, and singles out both KO and "Yakamura" (we assume he means Shinsuke Nakamura) as Superstars he feels are "not money people".
However, when it comes to Roman Reigns, Sid had only good things to say:
“I think he’s one of the better talents they’ve got. He looks credible, he looks good, [he’s] a good interview. And if we’re gonna compare him to anybody, let’s just compare him to the last guy you said, the fat guy in the T-shirt, Kevin Owens. There’s no comparison. I think he’s light years ahead of that guy.”
It's important to remember that Sid is from a generation of wrestlers who still believe that looking the part is the most important thing if you're going to be a top guy - but things are simply different these days.
For example, while Sid certainly looked the part in his heyday, he was not considered very proficient in the ring and is best known for the hilariously stupid promo he cut on The Outsiders back in WCW (see below).
I'll take a charismatic fat guy in a t-shirt that actually knows how to wrestle any day.
