One of the most believable big men EVER.
I loved working with Sid and will miss him. pic.twitter.com/mNQYH61vd1— Sting (@Sting) August 26, 2024
Rest well, Sid. I’ll forever appreciate the good times. The microchip pitch to @CWFHMarquez! Making the sheriff’s dept drive 100mph+ from Tulsa to Enid with lights/sirens blaring only to get there when the show was over. NEVER EVER a dull moment. Life is too short. Godspeed. —

Without Sid Vicious, I don’t think my brother and I would have made it to WCW. 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. #RIPSid pic.twitter.com/3fYWTAkHzO

Horrible news.
Our tables were beside one another at a convention and during down time we were able to talk quite a bit.
The way he spoke on how proud of his son, and family he was really stood out to me.RIP to the MASTER & RULER of the World.
Condolences to the Eudy family. pic.twitter.com/uVWEIX6d2o

Saddened to learn of the passing of Sid Eudy.
An unforgettable presence, and it can’t be overstated how big of a role he played in creating “The Heartbreak Kid”.
His work, legacy, and influence will inspire our business for generations to come.

So sad to hear that friend and wrestling superstar Sid Eudy (Sid Vicious & Sid Justice) has passed away at 63 from cancer. He was one of the first wrestlers I wrestled when I was trying out for WCW. What a great guy. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends… pic.twitter.com/HLodDELIHH

Rest Well Sycho Sid.
One day after training my trainers had our class watching a bunch of Sid promos and segments. They used him as an example of someone that emoted and expressed emotion really well.

When I heard Sid passed, three matches came to mind immediately.
– The Bash 89 tag match vs. the Dudes, where the crowd went nuts for him.
– The Survivor Series 1996 match with Shawn, when the fans turned on Shawn.
– Sid Vicious vs Lee Scotthttps://t.co/ikP36iQjpl— The Great Brian Last (@GreatBrianLast) August 26, 2024
RIP Big Sid Vicious. Always thought he was underrated AF for a top guy and a draw. Incredible presence. If you saw him live in the late 80s/early 90s, you know. Only worked one show with him (NWA 60th) but got to talk to him for a bit and he was very cool & down to earth. pic.twitter.com/tA0DfqnWUZ

I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Sid Vicious. I got to share the ring with Sid many times. I even had a couple of brawls in the parking lot at Channel 5 in Memphis with him. Here is him manhandling me on TV. 10 bells wRESTle in Peace pic.twitter.com/9yOlyJdhak

Sid Vicious made the powerbomb devastating. Guys like him made you pay attention. Larger-than-life. pic.twitter.com/AKbVVTiOVS #RIP

Just seen that Sid Justice passed away. What an absolute hero.
I once confused my parents as I started speaking through my teeth as that’s what Sid did when he said “master and ruler of the world.”
Honestly can’t imagine watching wrestling when I was younger without him. So… pic.twitter.com/HoSJgycQRx

I’ll never forget being in Madison Square Garden for this – or being terrified as a kid watching him send all of his opponents away on stretchers with a “call 911” placard
RIP Sid – The Master, and The Ruler of the World. pic.twitter.com/yYLIEpY1TQ

My dad supported my wrestling obsession as a kid but it really wasn’t his thing. But whereas everything he saw was silly, Sid was not. My dad got such a kick out of Sid! These are from February 1997 at Stabler in Bethlehem, the last show my dad came to before I started on my own. pic.twitter.com/cWpw4ynIlw

Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that Sid Eudy has passed on.
Sid had such a presence. When Sid Vicious stepped through the curtain, you knew you were looking at someone special. He had it all and he looked as impressive as anyone to ever enter the squared circle. I had no idea he was… pic.twitter.com/iEyY1Blgk5

He was a Huge part of my Wrestling Journey! If we wouldn’t have met at a Golds Gym in Memphis,Tn I probably never would have had the opportunities I was given.
