WWE said in an X post it was “saddened” by Eudy’s passing.

Eudy has been considered by many professional wrestling fans as the top retired, modern-era professional wrestler who was not yet inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Eudy was the world champion in WWF (now WWE) and WCW twice apiece, and was also a two-time USWA heavyweight champion.

One of his most iconic moments came when he hit Shawn Michaels with a powerbomb to defeat him for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series in 1996.

Eudy was also in the main event of two WrestleManias, falling to Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 8 and losing the WWF championship to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 13.

In the early 1990s in WCW, Eudy was a member of the fabled Four Horsemen stable, alongside Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Barry Windham.

“Without Sid Vicious, I don’t think my brother and I would have made it to WCW,” professional wrestling legend Booker T wrote in a post on X .

“His impact on this business was undeniable, and he paved the way for so many of us. My deepest condolences to his family during this difficult time.”

Adam Pearce, the current general manager of “WWE Raw,” wrote , “Rest well, Sid. I’ll forever appreciate the good times. The microchip pitch to [David Marquez]!
