Former WWE star Sid Vicious, born Sid Eudy, has passed away at the age of 63. A multiple-time world champion in both WCW and WWE, his death was announced by his son, Gunnar Eudy, on social media Monday. The news was later confirmed by PWInsider's Mike Johnson.


Gunnar shared on Facebook: "In Memory of My Father, Sid Eudy. Dear friends and family, I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years," Gunnar wrote on Facebook."He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss. Details for a memorial service will be shared soon.Thank you for your support."
Eudy began his wrestling career following a meeting with Randy Savage and his brother Lanny Poffo. After training under Tojo Yamamoto, he made his debut by teaming up with Austin Idol to face Nick Bockwinkel and Jerry Lawler. He soon adopted the masked persona of Lord Humongous. Eudy's career kicked off in 1987 in Continental Championship Wrestling (CCW), where he wrestled under the mask and name Lord Humongous.

Eudy was a six-time world champion, capturing the WWF Championship twice, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice, and the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship twice. Beyond his world title victories, he also secured the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship once, among other honors. Throughout his careers in WWF and WCW, Eudy headlined numerous pay-per-view events, including main-eventing WrestleMania VIII and WrestleMania 13 in 1992 and 1997, respectively, as well as Starrcade in 2000.
He also competed in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) under the name Vicious Warrior, where he challenged Tatsumi Fujinami for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship but did not win the title. Eudy then had a brief stint in World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), where he adopted one of his most famous ring names: Sid Vicious, inspired by the punk rock musician who played bass for the Sex Pistols.
Times of India extends heartfelt condolences to the family of Sid Vicious. His contributions to the world of professional wrestling will remain forever in our memories.
