Pro wrestling legend Sid Eudy, whose big frame and imposing presence catapulted him to the top of the industry in the 1990s, has died, the coroner of Crittenden County, Arkansas, confirmed Monday. He was 63. Eudy lived in Marion, a suburb 12 miles west of downtown Memphis, Tennessee, with wife Sabrina Estes Eudy. Their son, Gunnar, posted news of his father’s passing on Facebook. Gunnar Eudy said his father died 'after battling cancer for several years.
'One of the most brutal Superstars to ever terrorize WWE, the sadistic Sid brought an intensity that few could ever hope to contain. Just ask the litany of ring legends who have incurred his wrath — a hit list that includes Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, Bret 'Hit Man' Hart and many more,' the bio states. He joined WCW in 1989 and was making a name for himself and dispatching foes in WWE by 1991, the company said in its obituary.
