Sid 'Vicious' Eudy, Pro-Wrestler, Dead at 63 After Cancer Battle

As a lifestyle expert with a deep appreciation for the world of professional wrestling, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Sid Vicious, a true icon who left an indelible mark on the sport. Having grown up in the 80s and 90s, I can vividly remember the awe and excitement that his imposing presence brought to the ring.


The wrestling community has lost one of its legends. 

It is with sadness that we report the passing of Sidney “Sid Vicious” Raymond Eudy, a renowned professional wrestler recognized for his memorable stare and unwavering intensity. His son, Gunnar Eudy, shared the news on social media following a long-term battle with cancer. At the time of his death, he was 63 years old.

“Gunnar expressed on Facebook that his father was a man filled with strength, kindness, and love, and his absence is deeply felt. We value your sympathies and prayers during our time of mourning. Further details regarding the memorial service will be announced shortly. We are grateful for your compassion.”

1989 saw Sid making a powerful entrance into the pro-wrestling world following his signing with World Champion Wrestling (WCW). He made his first appearance later on with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 1991, adopting the name “Sid Justice.” Standing tall at 6 feet 9 inches, Sid was recognized by WWE as one of the most fearsome and intimidating wrestlers of his era.

In the world of wrestling, Sid engaged in battles with notable figures such as Mark Calaway, popularly known as The Undertaker, and the formidable group, The Four Horsemen, headed by Ric Flair.

In a statement on August 26th, the wrestling network recognized Sid as a dominant figure often referred to as ‘The Master and Ruler of the World.’ His fearsome reputation and electrifying performances solidified his status in WWE history. Even today, his impact continues to resonate in wrestling arenas globally. WWE extends its sympathies to Eudy’s family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.

Originating from West Memphis, Arkansas, the deceased leaves behind his wife Sabrina Estes Eudy, his sons Gunnar and Frank Eudy, and also his beloved grandchildren.

The WWE star, famously known as Booker T or Booker T. Huffman, expressed his sympathies in a heartfelt message for the deceased legendary figure, highlighting the profound influence he had. Booker T’s brother, often recognized by the name Stevie Ray, was a wrestling partner of his.

In a tweet back in August, Booker T expressed that he believes him and his brother wouldn’t have achieved success in WCW without Sid Vicious. He emphasized that Sid’s influence within the wrestling industry was significant, and he opened doors for countless others like us.
