Every WCW Heavyweight Champion: Where Are They Now?

9. Sid Vicious

"You're only half the man that I am... and I have half the brain that you do!"

Hopefully for the sake of Sid Eudy, this unfortunate promo isn't what his legacy is remembered for. The former Sid Vicious/Sid Justice/Sycho Sid was a very successful big man throughout the 1990s, working a dominant style of power moves that saw him capture gold pretty much wherever he went.

'The Man Who Ruled The World' didn't taste World Championship success with WCW until relatively late in his career, capturing the belt twice within two days in January of 2000, just shy of turning 40.

Unfortunately his WCW career would come to a gruesome end, snapping his leg in half during a Four Corners match while attempting a big boot off the second rope. It's about as nasty as an in-ring injury gets.

Despite the injury basically ending his career, Sid spent years rehabbing and astonishingly made a return to the ring, carving out a tidy second run on the independent scene for over a decade, working matches around the US, Canada and Europe before finally retiring in 2017.

In that time he also made a couple of appearances on Raw reunions for WWE, most notably laying waste to poor old Health Slater in June 2012.
