Death of the wrestling legend, Sid Eudy (popularly known as Sid Vicious) on August 26 is still fresh on the fans’ minds. His demise came after his prolonged battle with cancer causing the fans and many WWE officials to pay tribute to him. This also includes his son, Gunnar who wrote a lengthy message on social media honoring his father’s resilience, determination, and love for family.
However, the discussions following his death were not simply limited to his contribution to wrestling. WWE officials are considering whether he should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. While opinions have differed on this subject, former wrestling champion, Ted DiBiase commented on Eudy’s potential as a recipient of the honor.
DiBiase, recently, appeared on the podcast, “Everybody’s Got a Pod” where he shared his thoughts on the subject. He explained that being inducted into the Hall of Fame isn’t just about a wrestler’s performance or fame. Instead, he believes that it involves looking at how well the wrestlers worked with others and whether they contributed positively to the team. Putting in his own words,
“The Hall of Fame, it's not just about your ring skill or how big of a star you were. I think more, especially in wrestling it's did you work well with everybody? Did you work as a team? I mean I can name and I won't name anybody ... there's a couple guys in the Hall of Fame that were never in a main event or very rarely in a main event, and did a lot of opening matches and middle of the road stuff. So it's not just how good you were on a microphone or in the ring, I think part of it is strength of character ... I would give [Vicious] the benefit of the doubt.”
Since Vicious’ demise, many well-known figures in the industry shed light on their experiences of working with him. These include Booker T, Kevin Nash, and Jeff Jarrett who have fond memories with him and highlighted the positive impact Vicious had on their careers.
