He was 63 years old.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years,&#8221; Gunnar Eudy posted on Facebook. &#8220;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sid was an impressively tall and muscular wrestler who was seen as a potential headline star due to his distinct look. He also delivered intense promos, known for both yelling and soft-talking, a distinct mix that grabbed viewers&#8217; attention.<\/p>\n<p>He headlined WrestleMania 8 against Hulk Hogan in 1992. He wrestled Undertaker at WrestleMania 13.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the WrestleMania 8 match against Hogan, I wrote in Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter #168 that covered that event:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main event of Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice was so lacking in anything remotely resemvlkng effort on Hogan&#8217;s part, it really hurt the show, quality-wise. Hogan did nothing. Justice did what he was capable of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Early in his career in WCW he was part of the Skyscrapers tag team. He also had a stint as member of the Four Horsemen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2024\/08\/23\/wwe-youtube-review-latest-top-ten-features-randy-ortons-top-rkos-since-his-return-last-year-including-gunther-and-mcdonagh\/\">WWE YOUTUBE REVIEW: Latest Top Ten features Randy Orton\u2019s top RKOs since his return last year including Gunther and McDonagh<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4029771111\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2024\/08\/26\/mcguires-mondays-overthink-mondays-all-in-edition\/\">McGuire\u2019s Mondays: Overthink Mondays \u2013 All In edition<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Check out the latest episode of &#8220;The &#8217;90s Pastcast&#8221; with Patrick Moynahan &amp; Alex McDonald, part of the PWTorch Dailycast line-up: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/pwtorch-90s-pastcast-moynahan-mcdonald-discuss-pwtorch-newsletter-294-8-13-94-incl-smw-s-biggest-show-final-summerslam-card-more--61144872\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to stream (or search \u201cwade keller\u201d on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any other iOS or Android app to subscribe free)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/player?episode_id=61144872&amp;theme=light&amp;playlist=false&amp;playlist-continuous=false&amp;chapters-image=true&amp;episode_image_position=right&amp;hide-logo=false&amp;hide-likes=false&amp;hide-comments=false&amp;hide-sharing=false&amp;hide-download=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-169568875\"><div id=\"pwtor-21628797\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Sid Eudy, who wrestled as Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid nationally in the 1990s for the WWF and WCW, died after a battle with a cancer.
