According to a post on his son's (Gunnar) Facebook, Sid Eudy passed away today at age 63 after a many years long battle with cancer.

He will be remembered fondly by wrestling fans throughout, whether as "Sycho" Syd, Sid Vicious, or Sid Justice: Master and Ruler of the Universe.

At the beginning of his career, he tagged with Dan Spivey as the other half of the Skyscrapers. Later in the WWF and in WCW, he would go on successful solos runs. He held the WCW Heavyweight belt and the WWF Championship belt twice each.

Who was one of the hottest, most babygirl old school wrestlers back then and why was it Roddy Piper?

Because I have no life I was watching old Randy Savage promos on YouTube and it got me thinking, ik no one writes for him but if there was an active community of fic writers for him ik they’d eat up a jealous sex fic

I hear the ravenous cries for more divorced wrestling dad (coming from me and my 2 friends).... how about some younger dashing Bill, fresh out of the tag division and into his solo run? Babyface father like babyface son...

... except maybe his son won't get baby trapped by the girl from the women's division that his "best friend" (cough cough...) told him was bad news, but Bill wanted a family so he didn't listenn :3

My WRESTLECADE Experience

Hey Everyone ! I went to WRESTLECADE this past weekend. If you don’t know what WRESTLECADE is , it’s a huge three day convention that takes place every year in November during the Thanksgiving weekend. It celebrates everything about professional wrestling. Here is my experience.

I went to WRESTLECADE on Saturday. I was originally supposed to meet Kevin Nash , however , he had to pull of it due to a medical procedure he had done on his back. All I want is for him to get well soon and I also hope that he is okay . The convention center was huge with an upstairs floor and a downstairs floor. I used to be an All Star Cheerleader , so I was used to being in a building like that . Walking in to WRESTLECADE, there was a photo op with a few of the wrestlers who were there such as Timeless Toni Storm, Gail Kim, The Hardys, Ric Flair , Sting , and a few others . It was pretty cool!

My sister was there to meet her favorite AEW wrestler , Darby Allin. My Brother -In -Law was there to meet Kurt Angle , and I was there to meet ‘ The Mouth Of The South ’ Jimmy Hart. They stayed downstairs to meet Darby and Kurt as I had to go upstairs to meet Jimmy . When we made it there , we began to talk to other fans in line . This is something I recommend at a wrestling show and a convention because we are all there for the same thing , our love of wrestling. Most of them were there for Sting and Darby Allin. As we were hanging out and before I went upstairs , the legendary wrestling manager , ‘ The Perfect 10 ’ Baby Doll, walked past us . I’ve met her before and she’s awesome. I also ran into one of my favorite independent wrestlers downstairs too.

The room I had to go in to meet Jimmy Hart was huge. I’ve never seen so many people there. It was very easy for me to find the booth where Jimmy Hart was at. I got to meet @hart-on-my-sleeve and her husband too which was cool! Thank you for inviting me to your booth! I had such a great experience with them and Jimmy as well. Jimmy is such a great person and very cool to meet . Getting to hold his iconic megaphone was such an honor to do so. My Brother - In - Law also met Jimmy and had an awesome experience with him too. He also had a great experience with Kurt Angle. He said Kurt was so cool and loved his shirt. He’s a wrestler too and was inspired by Kurt for his gimmick. After meeting Jimmy, I had to stop by and talk to George South. It’s always a great time seeing him. And yes , I kind of Marked out when Gail Kim , Jordynne Grace , and Speedball Mike Bailey walked past me. I almost cried when Mina Shirakawa waved at me. I love her so much.

Now, don’t laugh at me about this part. As my Brother - In - Law and I were walking , we were thinking of going to meet and talk to Jim Ross. However , I kept looking around and I saw the TNA World Champion, Nic Nemeth. I kept looking at him. My Brother-In-Law kept asking if I wanted to meet him. I’m a little shy. I also have a crush on Nic. I went to meet Nic and I can say that he is so sweet. We talked for a little and he even let me hold his championship when we took our photo. So, thank you Nic. My sister was still in line for Darby Allin and about lost it when ‘ Switchblade ’ Jay White and ‘ Timeless ’ Toni Storm walked past her . She spoke to them and she was ecstatic when they spoke to her . She almost had to play bodyguard for Juice Robinson because she saw him on crutches and people were being rude and wouldn’t get out of his way. She said she related to him because the same thing happened to her when she was crutches trying to walk before after having hip surgery and a few other medical problems. I am proud of her for that .

The coolest thing I got to do at WRESTLECADE was meet the former artist for the WWE , Tom Fleming . You might have seen his work for The Undertaker’s first WWE shirt in 1991 and a few Survivor Series posters. Tom designed the logo and costume for Razor Ramon . He told me a few stories about Razor and Owen Hart. Just hearing those stories made me tear up a little and it helped me learn more about them. Did you know that Razor Ramon was originally going to wear tights and a hat for his character? Tom told me that Scott Hall didn’t like the hat and he was working on his legs , so that’s why he wore trunks . I also got to see the original concepts for Tatanka , The 123 Kid ( X-PAC), and Kane as well. He also said that you might have seen his work on the internet . Thank you to him for taking time and talking to me about his career working for the WWE . I also got to meet the legendary ‘ Russian Nightmare ’ Nikita Koloff and talk to him about the article I wrote about him. Nikita also knows my Dad. Nikita is such a great guy and I thank him for his time too. My sister met up with us after meeting Darby and she said he was very good to her . Yes , she almost cried after meeting him . He took his time with her and talked to her . Thank you , Darby for that.

We all decided to go downstairs to explore and see who was down there. All of us were looking for Joe Hendry . Therefore , we went into one of the many rooms they had open for the Fanfest and the first person we met there was Jerry ‘ The King ’ Lawler. Jerry was very cool . I saw the iconic photo of Lawler and Andy Kaufman on his table and pointed it out . He said it happened in 1982. I told him I wanted to write about it and he gave me that signature Jerry Lawler smile . We also told him how he made our childhoods great . We made our way around and even talked to Hornswoggle. He was awesome and I loved his Taylor Swift inspired shirt he had. My Brother - In - Law had a stare down with Matt Cardona. We also talked to Matt too and told him how much we loved Chelsea. Danhausen waved at us. I had to do the talking when we met Joe Hendry. All I can say is , Joe Hendry is such a sweetheart. Therefore , we went back into the lobby and I ran into Jojo, Bray Wyatt’s widow . She is so sweet and gorgeous in person. I also ran into Ricky ‘ The Dragon ’ Steamboat. He is very nice .

We went back into the room where we met Jimmy Hart. My sister thought it would be funny to embarrass me by telling Ryan Nemeth I thought Nic was hot. Ryan was a sweetheart too, like his brother. We also encountered The Boogeyman. My Brother - In - Law made my sister go up to him and she was scared. She was and still is terrified of him to this day. We also saw James Storm there. My sister kind of freaked out when she saw him. He is her all time favorite TNA Wrestler . Guess who also saw their favorite all time TNA Wrestler and got to talk to him ? Me! I got to talk to Frankie Kazarian. He is so amazing and very nice. Thank you to Ryan, The Boogeyman , and Frankie for being so good to us.

The Supershow was great too. As we were in line waiting , Zilla Fatu came by us and asked us what we were waiting on. He was so nice . Zilla is also a talented wrestler too. I loved the energy of the fans during the show and the card was great too. The matches that stole the show for me were the Nemeth Brothers vs Brad Attitude and Matt Cardona and the Doors , Ladders, and Chairs Match. When Joe Hendry made his entrance , I thought the roof of the place was going to blow off. Getting to see The Great Khali was awesome too. At the end of the Supershow , as we were walking out , we met NXT Superstar, Je’Von Evans. He is such a nice guy! Shout to him for being cool!

The Staff was great! They were good to everyone and the event was very well organized! I’ll definitely go back next year ! This was our first time there !

Who do you meet at WRESTLECADE? Were you a first time visitor to WRESTLECADE like me ? What did you think? Let me know!

Love You All,

- Kay
