So sad to hear about the passing of Sid “Vicious” Eudy. When I first came up with the concept for SQUASH of the Week, I figured Sid would be a mainstay and sure enough he has been. So let’s pay tribute to him the best way we can – by showing one of the greatest annihilations in a wrestling ring of all time!
The sacrificial lamb this day would be one Lee Scott. And give this guy some props too, as he is decked out in an outfit that SCREAMS late 1980s jobber. Seriously, who has forearm covers? NEON ones at that!
Big Sid makes his way to the ring with his Skyscrapers partner Dan Spivey. I have to love that these two giant men are so excited at what’s about to happen that they give each other a completely wacky high five!
Scott tries a shoulder charge and that’s as effective as running into a brick wall. He then determines that the best course of action is to throw repeated buggy whip arm punches to Sid’s abs of steel. The big guy responds to such tomfoolery by decapitating this geek with a bruuuuuutal clothesline.
Deciding to show off his strength, he picks up poor Lee in a gorilla press and launches him over the top rope, then follows him outside the ring for ANOTHER gorilla press to throw him over the top rop and back inside. The best part may be Spivey doing what I can only describe as MARKING OUT witnessing all this.
Back in, it looks like Sid is going to powerbomb his foe but no no – instead he hercs him up and tosses him through the air like a freaking helicopter. Of all the ridiculous GIFs I’ve ever posted in this column, that one there is near the top of the heap.
At this point, Sid decides to be merciful and end this with a power bomb. You wouldn’t think that would be ‘merciful’, but considering everything else that had happened that’s how I’m describing it. Better yet – Sid and Spivey celebrate this wonton destruction with another high five! I love it that these two men were having the time of their lives murdering doofuses who dared to get in the ring with them. RIP Sid – there’ll never be another one look you!
