The Arkansas-born Eudy stood at 6 feet 9 inches tall, becoming one of the most intimidating wrestlers of his time.
Sid Eudy, the pro wrestler whose towering and intense presence intimidated competitors in WWF and WCW from the late '80s to the early 2000s, has died, the WWE announced on Monday."WWE is saddened to learn that Sid Eudy has passed away. WWE extends its condolences to Eudy's family, friends and fans," the wrestling promotion wrote on social media.Eudy's son, Gunnar, explained that his father had battled cancer for several years.
Eudy was most noted for his ring names throughout his career, with fans drawn to three of them: Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid - Sid Vicious is not to be confused with the Sex Pistols bassist of the same name. He had another stint with WCW in 1993, spending just one year with the company. After spending time with the USWA, he rejoined the WWF, which would later be renamed WWE, in 1995 as Sycho Sid, a character billed as intense and unstable. During this run, he earned his first world title.
A freak leg injury in 2000 forced a retirement, though he would go on to travel independent promotions into the 2010s when Eudy returned to WWE in a one-off appearance in 2012.Eudy's contemporaries remembered him in the wake of his passing, with some calling him special and impressive.
