The wrestling world was saddened by the sudden passing of Sid Vicious, a veteran wrestler known for his contributions to the industry. Despite his impressive career and accolades, Vicious had not yet been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, a recognition he will now never experience in person.

Eric Bischoff, a prominent figure in wrestling, has voiced his support for Vicious’ posthumous induction into the Hall of Fame. On his podcast “83 Weeks,” Bischoff emphasized Vicious’ lasting impact on the sport, citing the outpouring of tributes on social media as evidence of his legacy. He praised Vicious’ ability to portray memorable characters and his attention to detail in performances, qualities that Bischoff believes are innate and cannot be taught.

Beyond his in-ring performances, Vicious was also known for his positive influence on other wrestlers’ careers. Booker T has shared how Vicious played a crucial role in helping him and his brother, Stevie Ray, start their careers in WCW. This testament to Vicious’ character off-screen further underscores the impact he had on the wrestling industry as a whole.
