Sid Eudy, Legendary Wrestler Known as 'Sycho Sid,' Passes Away at 63

 

He was not on the list.

Sidney Eudy ,better known by many as "Sid Justice," "Sid Vicious," and "Sycho Sid," has passed away at the age of 63. Eudy was born on December 16, 1960, and became a defining figure in the world of professional wrestling, leaving behind a legacy that spanned several decades.

Eudy began his wrestling career in the mid-1980s, quickly rising to prominence in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and later in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). His imposing physique, intense persona, and undeniable charisma made him a standout talent in an industry filled with larger-than-life characters. Throughout his illustrious career, Eudy became a six-time world champion, capturing the WWF Championship twice and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice. He also claimed the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship on two occasions.

Beyond his world title reigns, Eudy's achievements in wrestling include winning the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship and headlining some of the biggest events in wrestling history. He was a main-event fixture, starring in the headline matches of WrestleMania VIII and WrestleMania 13, two of WWE's most iconic events. His memorable clash with Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VIII in 1992 and his intense rivalry with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 13 in 1997 remain etched in the memories of wrestling fans worldwide.

Eudy also made a significant impact in WCW, where he headlined Starrcade in 2000, solidifying his reputation as one of the top draws in professional wrestling during the 1990s and early 2000s. His ability to seamlessly transition between hero and villain roles endeared him to fans and made him one of the most versatile performers of his era.

Despite his success, Eudy's career was not without its challenges. He suffered a devastating leg injury during a WCW event in 2001, which effectively ended his full-time wrestling career.

His son Gunner shared the heartbreaking news of his father's passing on Facebook, posting:
