The wrestling community is mourning the loss of Sid Eudy, known by various ring names including Sycho Sid and Sid Vicious, who passed away at 63. WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross paid tribute to the former WWE Champion, describing him as a unique character who rose from humble beginnings in West Memphis, Arkansas, to perform at Madison Square Garden. Ross praised Sid’s natural instincts in promos and his perfect physique for wrestling, whether as a villain or hero.
