the original jacked white boy, he's the guy that made big men popular among wrestlers, but I do recall that injury, brutal

Unfortunatley Sid ran out of time, before he could be inducted while still living.

They GOTTA induct him next year regardless.

So not only did I only know him as Sid Vicious, but I thought he was the only Sid Vicious. Anytime I’d hear about the musician from the Sex Pistols I’d get confused and think they were talking about the wrestler. It was literally only about two years ago I realized/found out that they’re two separate people.

One of the most intimidating presences in the history of pro wrestling.
Sad to hear this.
The undisputed king of the Power Bomb, it was his move.
Watching these guys from my childhood memories going to a better place one by one.

Here is William Regal telling the story of the time Sid attacked him (timestamped):

There's also the infamous fight he had with Arn Anderson which involved a pair of scissors

Yeah, Sid was kinda special.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's about average age for a pro wrestler isn't? These guys dying this young is not shocking at this point.

RIP

Was he the one who slapped a reporter for calling pro wrestling fake?

No that was David Schultz. Easy to get them mixed up since Sid stole his ramen hair gimmick

Tough break.

Dave Schultz IRL is way scarier than Sid Justice though lmao

 

[HHJ]

One thing about Sid is even though he was a heel he always fist bumped his fans. Dude just loved the adulation hahahaha

 

[SirRealKiller]

Man he was one of my favorites and a legend.

Sounds like lymphoma got him and he had heart failure as well.

Spent his post wrestling years being a grandpa and father and continued working out and being active for a longtime after being diagnosed with cancer. Fuck cancer.
