Sid Eudy to be inducted into WWE Hall of Fame

"Known as 'The Master and Ruler of the World', Sid's reputation as one of the toughest and most visually captivating Superstars cemented his legacy in WWE, and he will now take his rightful place amongst his fellow legends in the WWE Hall of Fame," WWE said in a news release.

Eudy wrestled under different names, including Sid, Sid Eudy, Sid Justice, Sid Steele, Sid Vicious, Sycho Sid, Vicious Warriors and Lord Humongous. He performed in WWE when it was still the World Wrestling Federation, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the United States Wrestling Association, Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and on the indies.

Despite injuries, Eudy still managed to reach the upper echelons of some of the promotions he worked for. He was a two-time WWF champion, a two-time WCW heavyweight champion and a WCW U.S. champion.

He had iconic feuds with Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Booker T and Sting. After a devastating injury in 2001, Eudy would wrestle sparingly at several different promotions. He returned to WWE for "Monday Night RAW" in 2012.

Eudy later died of cancer at age 63 in 2024.
