Pro wrestling legend Sid Vicious passes away, his son Gunnar posted on Facebook.
"Dear friends and family, I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years," Eudy said. "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. Details for a memorial service will be shared soon. Thank you for your support.
The national break for Vicious came in 1989 when he signed with World Championship Wrestling for a two-year stint, where he adopted the moniker he's most known for. During his tenure in the Atlanta-based organization, Vicious was a member of The Four Horseman before departing the company in 1991. That appearance led to Justice ultimately turning on Hogan in early part of 1992 and headlining WrestleMania VIII against Hogan. Shortly thereafter, Vicious left the company and he returned to WCW in 1993. But that run was cut short when Vicious got into an altercation with Arn Anderson and was subsequently fired.
Vicious reappeared in July 1996 where he became his most famous character "Sycho Sid". The crowd got behind him which led him to winning his first WWE title at Survivor Series over Michaels. He regained the gold against Bret Hart on a February 17, 1997 edition of Monday Night Raw. He lost the belt one month later in his second and final WrestleMania main event against The Undertaker.
