Sid Eudy, who wrestling fans feared as Sid Vicious, Sid Justice, and Sycho Sid throughout the 1990s, has died at the age of just 63, and his peers are showing their appreciation for the imposing big man. Sid's son, Gunnar Eudy, announced his father's death on Facebook on August 26, 2024, writing: "I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years. He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed." Sid built up quite the resume over his career, winning the WWE and WCW world championships a combined four times, headlining both "WrestleMania VIII" and "WrestleMania 13," and main eventing "Starrcade" in 2000. Sid was briefly a member of the Four Horsemen with Ric Flair in the early 1990s. Flair, who worked with Sid in both WCW and the WWE, noted that the two didn't always get along. But Flair noted that they made amends before Sid's death, writing on X, formerly Twitter, "For All Of You Out There That Have Known That We Hadn’t Gotten Along In Business- The Last Time I Saw Him, We Hugged, He Called Me Champ, And I Said Thank You! He Has A Beautiful Family, And His Family Should Know That He Was Much More Than A Softball Player. A Man. Period." In a 2018 interview, Sid noted that booker Ole Anderson punished him for being seen playing softball while rehabilitating an injury. Another WCW legend, Sting, wrote, "One of the most believable big men EVER. I loved working with Sid and will miss him." Former WCW president Eric Bischoff wrote that he had "nothing but the fondest memories of working with Sid." Jim Ross, who called plenty of Sid's matches, called the big man "quite the attraction." Current NXT commentator and five-time WCW champion Booker T wrote that he owed much of his success to Sid, writing, "Without Sid Vicious, I don’t think my brother and I would have made it to WCW. His impact on this business was undeniable, and he paved the way for so many of us." "He saw something in us and we didn't even know him." Shawn Michaels likewise chalked up a portion of his career trajectory to Sid's influence, writing, "An unforgettable presence, and it can't be overstated how big of a role he played in creating 'The Heartbreak Kid.' His work, legacy, and influence will inspire our business for generations to come." WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque referred to one of Sid's full-force nicknames for himself, writing, "A two-time WWE Champion. The Master and Ruler of the World. Few performers in the history of our business have had the look, intensity and ability to connect with the audience quite like Sid." Marc Mero, who wrestled as Johnny B. Badd in WCW, noted that Sid was one of his first opponents while he was trying out for the company. Mero called Sid "a great guy." One unforgettable moment in a career full of them was when Sid gruesomely broke his leg during his match at WCW's "Sin" pay-per-view in January 2001. What many thought had to be a career-ending injury, Sid overcame, and he was active on the indie scene for much of the 2000s. It was during that time that Sid worked with Pierre Ouellet, helping the French-Canadian wrestler reinvent himself as PCO. Ouellet wrote on X, "We were always together and having fun always. He came to my gym, my house and he knew every member of my family. I spent months with him at his house with his Family." One of Sid's final WWE appearances came in 2012, when he squashed Heath Slater on "Raw." Slater simply posted an image of Sid pinning him along with the hashtag "RIPSidVicious."
