"Sycho" Sid Vicious certainly won't soon be forgetten. The late wrestling legend made his mark in WWE and WCW, reigning as a world champion in both companies. He had become quite a fan favorite on social media due to his years of meme-worthy content on TV long before platforms such as 'X' had been established.

In the ring, Sid was viewed as an intimidating big man who was agile enough to be seen as more than just a vanilla monster heel. Many fans look back at his feud with Shawn Michaels in 1996 going into '97 quite fondly.

Eudy wrestled his final match back in 2017. He defeated Paul Rosenberg at the GNW 10th Anniversary Supershow.

We here at MMA Knockout on Sports Illustrated send our condolences to the family and friends of Sid Eudy.
