‘Sycho’ Sid Eudy, better known to fans as Sid Vicious and Sid Justice, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2026 next month.
During a recent interview with Bill Apter, Sid’s son Frank explained how the posthumous induction was arranged by WWE. He said,
“They reached out to our mom of all people, which makes sense, she’s the main point of contact, and they kind of let us know last week if we would be interested in it and everything like that and what we thought about it. Obviously anytime that the fans get to celebrate dad, we like that concept.
Dad always liked to to make the fans happy and put on a good show, it was what it was all about for him. And so I think a lot of fans have wanted this to happen for a long time. I saw a lot of positive outpouring and feedback today online and it was always great.
I remember when dad passed and we’ve got so many positive words sent to us online through social media, people we don’t know, people we do know. Today I feel like it was even more so. And getting to see all the fans out there really get a day to feel happy for dad, it it makes us happy, too.”
Sid passed away on August 26, 2024, at the age of 63, from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He joins Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition, and Dennis Rodman in this year’s class.
The 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony takes place on April 17 at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas, airing on ESPN+ in the US and Netflix internationally.
