The grieved son remembered Sid Eudy (original name), for his genuine personality traits. “He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss,” he wrote.

Gunnar further wrote, “Details for a memorial service will be shared soon. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Gunnar Eudy.” 

Vicious had an intimidating aura, thanks to his six-foot-nine size, and easily took on big guns of the 1990s, including Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Hulk Hogan. He also left his strong impact on WCW.

In the short span, he was the WCW World Heavyweight Champion on two occasions, and also earned the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship once, reports The Mirror.
