BiographySidney Raymond Eudy (December 16, 1960 – August 26, 2024) was an American professional wrestler, best known for his tenures in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under the ring names Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid. He was a two-time WWF Champion and two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion.
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 "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. Eudy abruptly quit the promotion later that spring following disagreements with management, and he returned to WCW at Slamboree '93: A Legends' Reunion 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: 10th Anniversary that December.
After a run in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA), where he won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship twice, Eudy returned to the WWF in 1995 as "Sycho Sid", first as a bodyguard for Shawn Michaels, and then as part of Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation stable. He 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 won it again, this time from Bret Hart, in 1997, after which he headlined the WrestleMania 13 pay-per-view against challenger The Undertaker. Following an injury, Eudy left the WWF and spent some time on the independent circuit and in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).
Eudy (as "Sid Vicious") returned to WCW in 1999 where he feuded with Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner before winning the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. He headlined Starrcade in December 2000 and defeated Nash on two occasions to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the main event of the 2001 pay-per-view Sin, Eudy jumped off the ropes and suffered a double compound fracture in his left leg, which forced him to largely 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. He was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2026.
