Sid Vicious’ sons reveal how WWE Hall of Fame induction came together
Sid Vicious’ sons Frank and Gunnar Eudy appreciate the outpouring of love they’ve received from fans after it was announced that their late father is being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
It was revealed on Tuesday that Vicious — a multi-time WrestleMania main eventer — has joined the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2026. Frank and Gunnar Eudy spoke with Bill Apter about the news and were asked how their father’s induction came together.
“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 and were curious about if we would be interested in it and everything like that and what we thought about it,” Frank said. “Obviously any time that the fans get to celebrate dad, we like that concept. Dad always liked to make the fans happy and put on a good show, it was what it was all about for him.
“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. It was always great. I remember when dad passed, we got so many positive words sent to us online through social media, people we don’t know, people we do know. And today I feel like it was even more so. Getting to see all the fans out there really get a day to feel happy for dad, it makes us happy too.”
Sid Eudy passed away at 63 years old in 2024 after privately battling cancer for several years. He was a World Champion for WWE and WCW during his career, which started in the late 1980s and spanned into the 2000s. His final WWE match was a one-time return in 2012 where he squashed Heath Slater.
The eldest son of Sid, Frank Eudy has appeared as a contestant on a couple of seasons of the CBS reality show “Big Brother.” Frank never attempted to break into pro wrestling, but his younger brother Gunnar has wrestled some using the name “Two Sycho.” Gunnar told Apter that he is not seriously pursuing wrestling as a career but is using the ring as an outlet to help honor his father.
“The wrestling career is not so much of a career, just more of a chance to pay tribute to my father,” Gunnar said. “We’re going to start off with a memorial show for him August 29. It’s going to be a benefit show where we’re going to donate all the money to charity, to the local animal shelters. We’re going to try to run some summer camps for the kids and just do some small community shows.
“So the whole wrestling thing for me is mostly just focused on smaller independent stuff, a lot of kids, and making people happy. That’s what my goals are.”
The 2026 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is being held in Las Vegas on the Friday (April 17) of WrestleMania 42 weekend. Vicious, Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, Demolition, and Dennis Rodman have been announced for the class so far.
