Son of Sid Vicious Slams WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony: “They Did Him Dirty”

Gunnar Eudy Speaks Out Following His Father Sid Vicious’ WWE Hall of Fame Induction

The legacy of Sid Eudy, known to wrestling fans worldwide as Sid Vicious and Sycho Sid, was officially cemented during the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas. However, not even 24 hours removed from the induction, his son Gunnar Eudy has issued a statement heavily criticizing WWE.

In a Facebook post shared earlier today, Gunnar expressed gratitude to fans while simultaneously taking shots at WWE’s handling of his father’s induction.

“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.”

Gunnar’s frustrations extended beyond the ceremony itself, citing what he perceived as a lack of visibility and recognition for his father throughout the host city and official WWE offerings.

“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.”

The post continued with sharper criticism directed toward what Gunnar described as long-standing tensions within the wrestling industry.

“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.”

Despite the harsh critique, Gunnar also shared a more personal and positive takeaway from the experience, centered around attending the event with his son.

“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.”

He closed his message with a tribute to his father’s legacy, while reiterating his belief that the company fell short in properly honoring him.

“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. #SidVicious #SychoSid #WWEHOF #FamilyFirst #BadNewsBrown”

Sid Vicious remains one of the most physically imposing and polarizing figures of his era, known for his commanding presence and multiple World Championship reigns across WWE and WCW. His induction into the WWE Hall of Fame was long considered overdue by many within the industry.

A legacy that will last forever.
