It was a disgrace when you consider all the people that got in before him. He was one of my favourites as a child in the late 80s and early 90s. Rip Sid Eudy who came from wherever he darn well pleases!
@omgblastbeatslol maybe that's it. He didn't want people to know he was ill,but they should have inducted him years ago. It's a travesty someone like Drew Carey got in and not Syd. He had some bad promos, but he was very believable as an intimidating and unhinged character overall
They’ll induct him now that he’s passed away. I don’t understand why WWE waits until these guys die to induct them as opposed to inducting them while they’re alive.
@@stevejamieson8468 yeah but come on, we have to draw the line somewhere. randy orton 14 time wwe champion, has had a 20 plus year active career, he deserve the HOF. how can you compare that to what sid did?
@@possiblyinsane6995 He won the WWF title twice. Main evented Wrestlemania twice. Won the WCW title twice and main evented Starrcade once... but you don't 'believe' he's a hall of famer. Well good thing they don't put you in charge of such things then.
Sadly that is true. About 10 years ago, I found an old VHS tape of Nitro and RAW. Well over 50% of the wrestlers on the shows were dead. If I still had the tape, I would find that an even larger, possibly 90%, majority have passed. It truly is sad.
Yep, drugs (steroids, pills, alcohol and cocaine)in their youth have killed many. Sid probably drank and did roids but didn't party super hard. Loved softball better than wrestling. At least that's how I think. So sorry for his families loss. He was one guy that others never looked bad or minded losing too. He should be a hall of famer if he isn't.
@@chrisendsley5724 yeah that's what a lot of those guys from the 80's and 90's did for fun a lot of the time which is why so many of them aren't around now. So damn sad, and yeah of course now they'll put him in the hof, just like they did with macho and Chyna 😞
Remember him and Dangerous Dan as the Sky Scrapers throwing Eddie Gilbert on his head. I thought they broke his neck. You will be missed. Should be in the HOF.
My 6 degrees of separation story with Sid: I once crashed my motorbike & needed stitches/xrays. I complained how small the hospital gurney was, the doctor says: "You are my 2nd largest patient today." Sid had just been there for a car accident. RIP.
He was one of the few wrestlers where I would sit through his entire shoot interviews. He just had a different perspective than most of the other wrestlers, plus he was active at my favorite time of WCW
I'm devastated right now. This truly was a massive shock to me. Sid had been one of my favorite wrestlers for almost 35 years. Rest in peace, Sid. You'll be dearly missed but never forgotten. You will always rule the world in my opinion.
I just found out when my wife texted me the news! RIP Sid! Heaven has gained another legend. You will always be remembered as the master, and ruler of the world!
Sid had such an imposing presence. He was great on the mic too. How he was able to stay in character during The Shockmaster disaster shows his professionalism. RIP Sid. Absolute wrestling legend.
Yeah..I agree with you....he saved that segment...the other wrestlers on the set dint know to keep on or laugh because it was pretty funny when the shock master fell...sid kept it rolling.
Sid had the look EVERY wrestler wishes they had...If Sid hadn't viewed it like a job he could have been a top-five wrestler for his era....but as it's well documented he would much rather be home playing in softball leagues...He was a lot like Barry Windham who looked like a million bucks and had all the talent in the world but just couldn't stay in a territory long enough... RIP to Sid....rest easy big man
Who cares what “he could have been”? I’ll tell you what he was. He was a real life cartoon character and was known the world over. Lived by his own rules and enjoyed his hobbies instead of selling out his whole life for more money. Seems like he had a good relationship with his family. Sounds like a great success by any measure I can think of. What a life.
@Fth363 Sid makes the HALL of Fame, he gets a Legion deal with wwe , wwe would have to work out a deal with Sid on how much he gets each year merch ,and wrestling figures, stuff like that ,HE would want a good check now he,s gone they work a deal out with the family and they won't pay him shit now, they do this alot. Sad
I just commented the other day on a video that I was hoping with Triple H running things that Sid would get put in the Hall of Fame. He deserves it. Who didn’t love Sycho Sid?!
I didn’t. Sid scared the crap out of me when I was a kid lol. I mean legit scared through a tv screen. To find out later he was just a big old country boy is a real testament to how good he was at his job. Seemed like a really good man in his shoot interviews. May he rest in peace
I almost broke down while thinking of Sid and others just now. Then I realized that they would want to be remembered fondly, not sadly. If you cry, you're probably disrespecting what they would want, and I just won't do that with people whom I grew up watching and have the utmost respect for.
As a young kid watching Sid's intense promo stares into the camera as he reminded us all of who ruled the world was pretty damn believable and freaky at the time. He was awesome to watch. RIP, big man.
I saw Sid Wrestle at the King of the Ring before it became a PPV event when it was held every year in Providence, RI. At the time WWF was barely selling tickets, you could get really close up to the day of the event. RIP Sid
James, I want to thank you for making these videos. You are a fantastic representation of a wrestling fan and your passion shines through. You nail exactly how I feel every time. RIP Sid and again thank you James. Keep up the great work both on these and the podcasts.
one of the most visually imposing wrestlers of all time. In his Sycho Sid title run (the height of his career) he was supposed to be a heel but fans didn't want to boo him. RIP.
I was a Sid fan starting in the Apter mag days as Lord Humungous. Nobody had a better look in the history of the business. Rest in power to the Master And The Ruler Of The World.
I thought Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey were going to become a very successful tag team, but either they couldn't get over or weren't allowed to. Then they replaced Sid with Mark Calaway and that team didn't get over either.
One of the few big men who could get over just on the strength of his personality, just upped to the max. No gimmick or costumes were necessary. People cheered him as a heel because he was so damn cool.
I'm 22 years old. I got into WWE in 2009 after picking up a magazine at a store near my house. John Cena will always be my favorite, but as I've gotten older and I got a computer a few years after I started watching wrestling I found guys like Sid and Razor Ramon. I fell in love with the old school guys and now 2 of my favorites are both gone. It sucks and I hope both of their families are okay and I wish them well. RIP Sid
RIP Big Sid. The fact he was able to stay in character during the whole shockmaster incident , is a testament to his professionalism! I would not have been abe to keep a straight face for sure!
i saw the name of this video scrolling through and the first thing i thought was Ohhh Nooo not Sid. I loed Sid. I hope He is Now the 2nd biggest Masterr and Ruler of the world up in heaven now. RIP bigman
R.I.P. Sid. I will always remember that stretcher match with Vader, in Halifax, when you singled me out and we had a moment. You will be missed, my friend.
I lived in the same town as Sid,and any time you ran into him in a store,he would be gracious enough to take a picture with someone,or just shake hands ,he was a really cool guy. People had opinions of him,but none of that matters rest in peace big man.
8:20 correct, Sid won it and that’s the night Bret did the promo where he pushed Vince down on the ground and talked about how everybody screws him, it’s bullsh*t etc. Great promo.
It's a crime they didn't put Sid in the HOF while he was still with us.
Yea too many times they wait til they pass to do it which is sad.
It was a disgrace when you consider all the people that got in before him. He was one of my favourites as a child in the late 80s and early 90s. Rip Sid Eudy who came from wherever he darn well pleases!
I guess it's possible they wanted to in recent years but he was too sick to appear and didn't want his illness to be public knowledge?
i was just thining that. they dropped the ball big time. its a replay of the savage situation
@omgblastbeatslol maybe that's it. He didn't want people to know he was ill,but they should have inducted him years ago. It's a travesty someone like Drew Carey got in and not Syd. He had some bad promos, but he was very believable as an intimidating and unhinged character overall
The only man to try and save the Shockmaster debut. Legend gone too soon. RIP
BIG Fact.
Was a professional.
I told you so. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The purple stormtrooper?
I was just thinking about that.
@@wizzerwiser2056 so funny lol
He should have been in the HOF. What a legend.
It's such a shame that he wasn't in the HOF while he was alive. Truly a travesty. That would have meant so much to him.
💯%
Couldn't agree more, should've been in years ago. Hopefully Lex Luger can get indicted while he's still with us.
I agree, I think they never inducted him cause of that scissors-incident.
They’ll induct him now that he’s passed away. I don’t understand why WWE waits until these guys die to induct them as opposed to inducting them while they’re alive.
RIP Sid, one of the most over guys in the business. Should be in the Hall of Fame
he will be at soem point.
right now it's no early,
i dont believe he had a HOF career, he won the wwe title once, went to wcw and wasn't a pillar over there either
@@possiblyinsane6995He was a main event level guy.

RIP Sid. Another good big man we lost.
RIP Sid. May you go to a place where softball season never ends.
Agree ...😊
And the injury sliders are turned off 😔
So real for this one
Nicely said!
Remember him and Dangerous Dan as the Sky Scrapers throwing Eddie Gilbert on his head. I thought they broke his neck. You will be missed. Should be in the HOF.
Didn't know he was sick. Such a shame. RIP to the Ruler of the World
Sid is so underrated. He had a presence and intensity that can't be matched.
No he wasn't underrated.
Douchy comment 🤡 🤡 @@royaumeuni5730
He was overrated
I think Vince could have used him better. He would have been even bigger imo.
@davidreece5867 your mother is overrated.
1999 WCW Sid was PEAK Sid. That was a good run.
That feud with Goldberg was intense. He was on top of his character there, Sid in 99 was where he was at his best.
Peak Sid was 96/97. He was the most over wrestler on the wwf roster. Huge crowd reactions.
My 6 degrees of separation story with Sid: I once crashed my motorbike & needed stitches/xrays.
I complained how small the hospital gurney was, the doctor says: "You are my 2nd largest patient today."
Sid had just been there for a car accident. RIP.
What city was this in?
He was one of the few wrestlers where I would sit through his entire shoot interviews. He just had a different perspective than most of the other wrestlers, plus he was active at my favorite time of WCW
His run in ECW was epic! RIP Syd!!!
I agree 💯 percent! Great Run in ECW.
It was awesome! I totally agree.
It was good, but it never really went anywhere.
Very short run in ECW but very impactful. R.I.P. Sid. The Master, The Ruler.............
If you saw that judge come out you knew you were ****ed
I liked hearing Sid talk in his interviews. Men like him aren’t around anymore, a real shame. Wish we had at least 5 more years with the man
The world will slip into chaos without its master and ruler
It always does. Oh well.
One of the scariest guys in the ring but, in person, one of the nicest guys you'ld ever meet.
Such sad news. Can’t believe it.
One of the most underrated wrestler.
I'm devastated right now. This truly was a massive shock to me. Sid had been one of my favorite wrestlers for almost 35 years. Rest in peace, Sid. You'll be dearly missed but never forgotten. You will always rule the world in my opinion.
I just found out when my wife texted me the news! RIP Sid! Heaven has gained another legend. You will always be remembered as the master, and ruler of the world!
I'm the same as both of you guys. I didn't even know he was sick. This was the first vid in my recommendations and it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Very sad news, man. Rest in peace. He became the most likable guy even when he was the baddest. Sid was the best
You could tell he was an awesome guy by watching his shoot interviews he will be missed rip sid eudy
In the mid 90s, he was one of the great big men ever in wrestling. RIP 👏
Met him at a Toronto CNE match back stage. He was really nice in person and asked me how my day was. I was blown away. Man, this sucks.
I was at that show. Got a picture of him.
Sid had such an imposing presence. He was great on the mic too. How he was able to stay in character during The Shockmaster disaster shows his professionalism. RIP Sid. Absolute wrestling legend.
I remember him chewing the scenery in his promos when he was up against Hogan. He scared me as a kid.
Yeah..I agree with you....he saved that segment...the other wrestlers on the set dint know to keep on or laugh because it was pretty funny when the shock master fell...sid kept it rolling.
HOW DO YOU THINK IT MAKES ME FEEL?!
Great on the mic? He was as bad as the Warrior.
💪Big Sid Vicious👍🏻Should've Been In Hall Of Fame Along Time Ago! 'RIP' Big Man'!
Say it isn't so. RIP Sid. There won't be anyone else like him.
Sid had the look EVERY wrestler wishes they had...If Sid hadn't viewed it like a job he could have been a top-five wrestler for his era....but as it's well documented he would much rather be home playing in softball leagues...He was a lot like Barry Windham who looked like a million bucks and had all the talent in the world but just couldn't stay in a territory long enough... RIP to Sid....rest easy big man
Sid and Barry out-lived a lot of other 80's/90's wrestlers..... They made the right call .
@@ryanjacobson2508 you make a good point, they were onto something
He was built like a fkn beast
Well Sid was given bad story lines and screwed here and there out of $$ so he left WWE.
Who cares what “he could have been”? I’ll tell you what he was. He was a real life cartoon character and was known the world over. Lived by his own rules and enjoyed his hobbies instead of selling out his whole life for more money. Seems like he had a good relationship with his family.

RIP Sid, one of the best powerbombs ever
Damn near killed Brian Pillman with one
THE BEST
RIP Big Man!!
I'm 54, and was a huge Sid V fan.
I've seen him from 5 ft away back in the day... the man was a presence... Gentle Giant
Nooo come on man dang RIP😞🙏🏾
Today for some reason out of nowhere I was thinking of Sid. Don’t know why. Now I see the news…. 😢
Sid should be in the Hall of Fame 2025 to honor him👍
And not have to pay him, that,s what it s all about, F,cked up
@@mikeblakeslee3753 What do you mean...not have to pay him??

R.I.P Sid, definitely dominated the wrestling world, while he was in it.
Thanks for reporting this right away, James. Glad I found out from you. RIP Sid Eudy.
He was one of the first wrestlers that left me in absolute amazement for his size and muscularity as a kid. RIP Sid Eudy!

Sid wanted to keep the cancer quiet. He was an awesome person. I am honored to have known him and shared the ring with him
I was lucky enough to meet Sid several times. He was not only larger than life, he was a really nice guy. RIP Sid.
Awwwwww, I really liked him. Like, really respected him more than most. Cancer?? 😢. Such sadness.

Sid was a great wrestler in the 90s! What a presence and personality.
When I was 13 years old I remember looking at Sid and just being in awe of his promos. Sid will be missed.
🙏❤️ he gave us some classic matches in the 90’s
RIP Sid. We all loved you, thank you for showing people how to do the crazy gimmick right.
James your a class act man keep it up wsi is the best wrestling content on RUclips since sean oliver/kayfabe commentaries 👊👊👊👍👍

Sid ruled the world!! 🌎☝️😥⚘️
This is a HUGE shock to the wrestling world and for all wrestling fans who remember Sid's entrance into wrestling. Another star gone way too soon.
WWE should be ashamed for not indicting him while he was alive. He should have been a shoe in. Rip Sid. You’re in my HOF.
I would run to the tv and sit and be amazed watching him awesome wrestling
R.I.P. Sid Vicious…
😮 I didn’t know he passed. Such a great man. I was watching an interview earlier and then this pops up.
Jeez. I wasn't expecting this. I was watching his shoot interview around 5 hours ago. What a massive shock.
It's legendary that Sid would blow off main eventing shows to play softball. RIP
The tag team of The Skyscrapers with Sid was a hard hitting duo.
I remember them coming down the ramp at Clash of the Champions as kid and thinking “woah these are some big dudes” lol
I thought Sid Vicious and Dan Spivey were going to become a very successful tag team, but either they couldn't get over or weren't allowed to. Then they replaced Sid with Mark Calaway and that team didn't get over either.
His intensity will never be forgotten. The myth, the man, the master....
Sid had the most vicious powerbomb in the game..R.I.P. Sid Vicious!
Another legend gone, but will never be forgotten...
Rest in Power, Sid
Sid. " the master...and ruler of the world".....
Sid is a legend. One of my favourites. A true legend
RIP Sid. loved him in the early to mid 90s
Wrestlers just don't live that long 63 is old for a wrestler but not for the general public RIP Sid.
DAMN!!! He was one of my favorites in the Business. I'm in tears, he was a great man and will be missed. Prayers to his family, God Bless...
Thank you for the notice. He was one of a kind. Godspeed Mr. Sid Eudy
Rip Sid. Underrated wcw champion
I am so heartbroken. He was such a big part of my childhood. I remember as a kid seeing his traps. He looked like a SUPERHERO.
