Sid Eudy, also known as Sid Justice, Sid Vicious and Sycho Sid, has died at the age of 63. His son, Gunnar Eudy, confirmed his passing in a Facebook post on August 26. Gunnar wrote, “I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after a years-long battle with cancer. He was a man of strength, kindness and love, and his presence will be greatly missed.” Sid built his wrestling career from 1987 as Lord Humungous before later joining World Championship Wrestling. It was during his time with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) that he adopted his most famous stage name, Sid Vicious, inspired by the bassist of the Sex Pistols. His infamous feud with Hulk Hogan began when Sid joined the World Wrestling Federation (now known as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)).

He became a huge star throughout his wrestling career, despite playing more of a supporting role in the ring due to his large size – he was 6 feet 9 inches and weighed 317 pounds. Sid headlined Wrestlemania twice and was included on WWE’s 30 Best Big Men in Wrestling list. In 2001, he suffered an in-ring leg injury that would ultimately lead to a long recovery; however, he eventually returned to the ring and retired in 2017.
