Former WWE Champion Sycho Sid certainly had a unique career with WWE. Sid debuted with WWE in 1991 billed as "Sid Justice." After being involved in several feuds with a variety of WWE Superstars, Sid transitioned into a feud with top babyface Hulk Hogan in early 1992. It kicked off when Sid eliminated Hogan from the 1992 Royal Rumble match.

This eventually set up a match between the two superstars in the main event of WrestleMania VIII. This not only marked Sid's WrestleMania debut, but also his first WrestleMania main event. At WrestleMania VIII, Sid Justice lost his match against Hulk Hogan after Papa Shango interfered on Sid's behalf, resulting in a disqualification.

This led to both Justice and Shango attacking Hogan until The Ultimate Warrior made his shocking return to WWE television after a lengthy absence, much to the delight of the WWE Universe.

Sid left the WWE later that year due to reported issues with WWE officials. However, Sid eventually returned to WWE in 1995 as Shawn Michaels' new bodyguard, now billed as "Sycho Sid."

Sid's second and final WrestleMania match would come two years later at WrestleMania 13 in 1997. Once again competing in the main event, Sycho Sid defended the WWE Championship against The Undertaker. After outside interference from Bret "Hitman" Hart, The Undertaker hit a Tombstone Pildriver on his opponent, allowing The Deadman to defeat Sid and capture the WWE Championship.

Once again, Sid departed WWE later that year. This means that Sycho Sid has competed in two WrestleMania matches, both of which have been the main event. However, he also lost both matches.
