Sid Vicious as Sycho Sid returns to WWE Monday Night Raw to battle Heath Slater
Call him Sid Vicious, call him Sid Justice, call him Sycho Sid, but whatever name you prefer for the former WWE and WCW Champion, he must be called undeniably impactful in his craft. His impact on the industry was felt all the more when the world he ruled stopped to mourn Sid Eudy at age 63 following a battle with cancer.
9 Success Everywhere He Went Sid's Accomplishments Went Beyond Just Titles If we take the titles out of the equation, it's mighty impressive to think that in no matter what promotion he wrestled, Sid was always a part of the main event picture. Most wrestlers tend to stagnate across the crowd, rising and falling, but Sid always seemed to be promoted as a main attraction wherever he went regardless if he wrestled for titles or not.
7 His Influence on Future Generations Sid's Impact on Other Wrestlers Is Understated The August 26th episode of WWE Raw is a prime example of just how much Sid Eudy influenced other wrestlers, and how his death impacted not just those around him, but the wrestlers who loved his work. In the first episode of Monday Night Raw following his death, several wrestlers paid homage in some way or another to The Millennium Man.
5 One of the Most Intimidating Wrestlers of All Time A Monster Among Monsters For what it's worth, a universal definition of a great wrestler is someone who does the job he's asked to do exceptionally well each time. Night in and night out, Sid was asked to be the meanest, scariest son of a gun to ever be seen in a wrestling ring, and he delivered to perfection every time. That's another part of his aura, being wildly intimidating.
3 Sid Was a Major Star in a Dying Era A Staple of the Golden Age and the New Generation Sid entered the WWE at the tail end of the Hogan Era, or the Golden Age of WWE as some would call it. Initially, WWE struggled to survive following the departure of their biggest cash cow. Especially following Hogan's jump to WCW, skyrocketing their own prominence, it seemed as if the WWF was in its dying days during the New Generation Era.
