The son of Sid Eudy has publicly criticized WWE following his father’s induction into the Hall of Fame as part of the Legacy Wing.
Sid, known to fans as Sycho Sid and Sid Vicious, was honored during Friday night’s ceremony alongside Bad News Brown. The induction was presented in video form, with both families shown briefly in the crowd, but neither was invited to speak or appear on stage.
On Saturday, Gunnar Eudy shared a detailed statement on Facebook, expressing frustration with how the induction was handled.
“Thank you to everyone for all the love and support you’ve shown our family. It means the world, and I appreciate every single person who had my dad’s back.
Last night’s so-called ‘Hall of Fame induction’ for my father, Sid Eudy ‘Sycho Sid’ ‘Sid Vicious’ was straight up disappointing and disrespectful as hell. I’m glad my dad was big enough to put himself over even in death, because WWE damn sure wouldn’t.
I didn’t see one single ad for him here in Vegas. The Hall of Fame gift shop had zero merch for my dad not a damn thing, But they were loaded with all the Dennis Rodman crap you could want. It felt like they just swept him under the rug like a footnote, rushing to get him out of the way.
Maybe if we had waited another 20 years until all those jealous, insecure ex-colleagues were gone you know the ones who could never match his athletic ability, his looks, or his unbreakable will power to tell them “no” he would’ve finally gotten the full induction he actually deserved.
Still, I’m trying to stay positive for my son’s sake: I got to bring him, and he doesn’t know they did his grandpa dirty. He just got to see his hero honored. That moment with my boy made it worth it. And at least we walked away with the real Hall of Fame ring I’m adding pictures of it here because that’s something solid we can actually hold onto while the rest of this felt like a slap in the face.
Rest in power, Dad. The Master and Ruler of the World got his flowers… even if WWE tried to shortchange you one last time. They were always jealous. 💪🖤
Congratulations to Bad news Brown and Sid Vicious and Demolition.”
The comments highlight frustration with the Legacy Wing format, which does not include full in-ring speeches or extended recognition during the ceremony. The format has been in place since 2016, when WWE introduced it to honor past stars and pioneers in a condensed presentation.
Sid’s legacy in professional wrestling includes multiple world championship reigns across major promotions. He was a two-time WWF Champion and two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and remained a recognizable figure from the late 1980s through the 1990s.
While the induction ensures Sid’s place in WWE history, Gunnar Eudy’s reaction reflects ongoing criticism from families and fans regarding how Legacy inductees are presented compared to headline Hall of Fame names.
