WWE confirmed Eudy’s death on X
Sid Eudy, the wrestling legend who was known as Sid Justice, Sid Vicious and Sycho Sid, has died after a battle with cancer, his son announced on social media. He was 63 years old.
The Arkansas native started his pro wrestling career in 1987 at Continental Championship Wrestling as Lord Humongous. The 6-foot-9 behemoth won the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Southeastern Heavyweight Championship later that year and joined forces with Shane Douglas to eventually capture the NWA Southeastern Tag Team Championship.
After his time in NWA and his first stint in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he debuted with WWE in 1991.
He started his time there as Sid Justice and quickly became a force, challenging Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VIII and feuding with The Ultimate Warrior.
Sid Vicious made his return to WCW in 1993, initially clashing with Van Hammer and subsequently forming an alliance with Vader to feud against Sting. In 1999, Eudy came back to WCW and ultimately secured the WCW World Heavyweight Championship by defeating Kevin Nash. However, his tenure with WCW concluded prior to the WWF acquisition of the company.
Eudy suffered a near-career-ending injury after he tried to hit a boot on Scott Steiner from the second turnbuckle. He nearly retired from wrestling for good and was told by a doctor he would never wrestle again.
