BiographySidney Raymond Eudy (December 16, 1960 – August 26, 2024) was an American professional wrestler, best known for his tenures in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW), wrestling under the ring names Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid. He is a two-time WWF world champion (in 1996 and 1997) and two-time WCW world champion (in 2000).
Eudy wrestled in a number of promotions, most notably the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), en route to being signed by WCW in 1989 under the name of Sid Vicious. There, Sid was part of The Skyscrapers tag team with Dan Spivey, then part of the Four Horsemen in 1990 to 1991 with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Barry Windham. In the summer of 1991, Eudy jumped to the WWF and adopted the ring name Sid Justice, going on to main event WrestleMania VIII against Hulk Hogan in April 1992. However, Eudy abruptly quit the promotion later that spring following disagreements with management, and he returned to WCW at Slamboree in May 1993. Five months later, Eudy was involved in an infamous real-life altercation with Arn Anderson, which led to his immediate termination from WCW. This was just months prior to Sid's planned winning of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Starrcade '93 that December.
After a run at United States Wrestling Association (USWA), where he won the Unified World Heavyweight Championship twice, Eudy returned as Sycho Sid to WWF in 1995, first as a bodyguard for Shawn Michaels, and then as part of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation stable. He then won the WWF Championship in 1996 by beating Michaels, where notably he was wildly cheered on by the crowd despite being a heel character. He later won it again, this time from Bret Hart, in 1997, after which he headlined the WrestleMania 13 pay-per-view. Following an injury, Eudy left the WWF and spent some time on the independent circuit and on Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).
Sid Vicious returned to WCW in 1999 where he feuded with Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner and then became United States Heavyweight champion. He headlined Starrcade 2000 and that year beat Nash on two occasions to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the main event of the 2001 Sin pay-per-view, Sid jumped from the ropes and broke his left leg, suffering a double compound fracture which forced him to retire from professional wrestling. He returned to the WWE in 2012 in two appearances as Sycho Sid as part of WWE Raw 1000. Eudy died of cancer in 2024.
