Sid Eudy, the professional wrestler known as ‘Sid Vicious,’ dies at 63: NPR

Sid Eudy, the professional wrestler known as “Sid Vicious,” “Sid Justice” and “Sycho Sid,” has died. He was 63.

Eudy’s son, Gunnar, announced on Facebook Monday that his father had died after a years-long battle with cancer.

“He was a man of strength, kindness and love, and his presence will be greatly missed,” he said.

The 6-foot-9 Eudy’s star power began to grow after he signed with the World Championship Wrestling league in 1989, where he was part of the tag team, The Skyscrapers, and the stable, the Four Horsemen. He debuted in the World Wrestling Entertainment league under the name Sid Justice in 1991. He went on to win two championships in both leagues.

“Sid was one of the most impressive and fearsome competitors of his generation with a natural charisma that immediately connected with the WWE Universe,” World Wrestling Entertainment said in a statement.

“WWE extends its condolences to Eudy’s family, friends and fans,” the league added.

Gunnar Eudy said details about his father’s memorial service will be announced soon.
