Gunnar Eudy, the son of the late WCW and WWE star Sid Vicious, also known as Sycho Sid, is hosting the 1st Annual Sycho Sid Memorial Show, with profits going to animal shelters.
The announcement was made on social media by Book of Pro Wrestlers. It was noted that Sid loves animals.
Sid passed away August 26, 2024 at the age 63, after losing his battle to cancer.
The official announcement with all the details, is below:
Gunnar Eudy — the son of Sycho Sid, has announced something powerful this morning, and we wanted to make sure our readers saw it.
Gunnar isn’t just stepping into the wrestling world…
He’s stepping in with purpose, with heart, and with the memory of his father leading the way.
He released a statement today explaining why he’s launching a fundraiser to buy a wrestling ring — not just to start training and performing, but to host the 1st Annual Sycho Sid Memorial Benefit Show.
Every single dollar of profit from that event, and the memorial shows that follow, will go straight to the animal shelters in Crittenden County.
Why?
Because Sid loved animals — especially dogs and cats — more than just about anything.
Here’s part of what Gunnar shared:“Arkansas wrestling family, animal lovers, and everyone who ever marked out for my dad — I need you right now. I just launched the GoFundMe to buy the ring that will start TWO: The Wrestling Order and host the 1st Annual Sycho Sid Memorial Benefit Show.”
100% of the profits from that show (and every show after it) will go straight to the animal shelters here in Crittenden County — because that’s what Dad would’ve wanted.”
“The ring + trailer costs $12,000. I’m putting up $6,000 of my own money. I’m asking y’all to help with the other $6,000 so we can make this real.”
“If you ever cheered when Sid powerbombed somebody into next week… if you’re from Marion, West Memphis, or anywhere in the Mid-South… if you just want to help homeless animals… even $5, $10, $20 — whatever you’ve got — gets us closer.”
This is a young man honoring his father the right way — through wrestling, through charity, and through something that brings people together for a cause Sid cared about deeply.
We have a lot of readers who grew up watching Sid, cheering Sid, or were inspired by the era he dominated.
