Eddie Gilbert contacted him for a role in WCW soon after. Sid then quit because he couldn’t afford to live off of such meager earnings.

Kevin Von Erich was quiet while in the locker room. New Japan brought Sid in to try and create a new “Bruiser Brody” type of gimmick with him.
Sid debuted in the main events and worked against Nick Bockwinkel and Lawler in a tag matches with Austin Idol as a partner. Jerry Lawler gave him the “Lord Humongous” gimmick in Memphis in order to replace a worker who had a side gig as a football strength coach. That is why Sid was always so animated and over the top while in the ring. Jarrett did teach him the importance of histrionics while performing. Jarrett was notorious for his poor payoffs. Jerry Jarrett ended up seeing Virgil doing his “trick” and fired him in Memphis. Sid never saw Poffo do it, but Virgil fellated himself in front of Sid and others on a different occasion.
