Wrestling Legend Sid Eudy Passes Away at 63

Sid Eudy, popularly known as “Sid Vicious,” has passed away at the age of 63 after a prolonged battle with cancer. The announcement regarding his passing was made by his son, Gunnar Eudy, via social media.

In his heartfelt statement, Gunnar expressed the family’s grief, stating, “He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed.” The wrestling community is mourning the loss of a significant figure who contributed to the sport during its peak.

Eudy began his wrestling career in 1987 and gained widespread recognition in 1989 when he joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He was known for his captivating performances under various ring names, including Lord Humungous and Sycho Sid.

Throughout the 1990s, Eudy became a mainstay of the wrestling world, competing in high-profile events such as WrestleMania. He had notable rivalries with wrestling legends, including Hulk Hogan and Randy “Macho Man” Savage, and won multiple world championships in both WWE and WCW.

Sid Eudy’s illustrious career came to a halt after a tragic leg injury during a pay-per-view match in January 2001, which is remembered as one of the most horrific moments in wrestling history. Eudy had made a comeback at the insistence of a WCW executive, despite expressing discomfort with the stunt.

His last official appearance with WWE was in 2012, during a special edition of “Raw” to commemorate the show’s 1,000th episode. Eudy leaves behind his wife Sabrina Paige and his sons, Gunnar and Frank.
