Eudy, who was also known as “Sycho Sid” during his career, began wrestling professionally in the 1980s. The 6-foot-9 enforcer made his WCW debut in 1989. He went on to become a WWF champion twice and WCW champion twice. Eudy was famously a member of Ric Flair’s “Four Horsemen” in the early-1990s.
Eudy headlined WrestleMania VIII as “Sid Justice” with a match against Hulk Hogan in 1992. He headlined the event again in his second stint as a WWF champion and fought The Undertaker at WrestleMania 13 in 1997.
Sid, an Arkansas native, wrestled until 2017, when he had his final match against Paul Rosenberg in Great North Wrestling.
