Gunnar Eudy, the son of the late Sycho Sid, is speaking out after Friday night's WWE Hall of Fame ceremony in Las Vegas, calling the treatment of his father's induction "straight up disappointing and disrespectful as hell."
In a lengthy Facebook post shared following the April 17 ceremony at Dolby Live at Park MGM, Gunnar said WWE failed to promote his father in any meaningful way. "I didn't see one single ad for him here in Vegas," he wrote, adding that the Hall of Fame gift shop carried no merchandise for Sid while being "loaded with all the Dennis Rodman crap you could want."
Sycho Sid, whose real name was Sidney Raymond Eudy, was inducted posthumously into the 2026 WWE Hall of Fame as a Legacy inductee. He passed away on August 26, 2024 at age 63 following a battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Legacy Wing honorees do not receive a live acceptance speech during the ceremony.
Gunnar Says WWE "Swept Him Under the Rug"
Gunnar described the experience as feeling like WWE was "rushing to get him out of the way," suggesting that politics from people who worked alongside his father played a role in the subdued treatment. "Maybe if we had waited another 20 years until all those jealous, insecure ex-colleagues were gone," he wrote, "he would've finally gotten the full induction he actually deserved."
Despite his frustration, Gunnar said he was grateful he brought his son to the event. "He doesn't know they did his grandpa dirty," he wrote. "He just got to see his hero honored. That moment with my boy made it worth it."
The family did receive a Hall of Fame ring, which Gunnar said was the one tangible keepsake from the weekend worth holding onto.
Two-Time WWE Champion Honored Posthumously
Sycho Sid was a two-time WWE Champion and a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion who headlined WrestleMania twice during his career. He joined a 2026 class that included AJ Styles, Stephanie McMahon, Demolition, Bad News Brown, Dennis Rodman, and the Immortal Moment of Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III.
Gunnar closed his post with a tribute to his father: "Rest in power, Dad. The Master and Ruler of the World got his flowers, even if WWE tried to shortchange you one last time."
