About Sid Vicious
Born on December 16, 1960, in Arkansas, Eudy’s imposing six-foot-nine stature and commanding presence made him a natural fit for the wrestling world. He began his career in 1989 with World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he squared off against legendary opponents like The Four Horsemen and The Steiner Brothers.
Eudy made his WWE debut under the name Sid Justice, serving as the special guest referee at the 1991 SummerSlam, a memorable event that featured WWE icon Hulk Hogan.
Throughout his illustrious career, Eudy became a two-time WWE champion (then known as WWF) and headlined WrestleMania twice. He also secured two WCW heavyweight championships, further establishing his dominance in the sport. Unfortunately, his wrestling career was cut short in 2001 due to a severe in-ring leg injury.
