“Sid was a symbol of the sport’s golden era, a time when giants clashed and every match felt like a battle for the ages,” one fan wrote. “His presence will be sorely missed, but his legacy will live on in the memories of those who witnessed his greatness!”
“His WWE run got more eyes on it but his heel work in the early 90s in WCW was incredible. A true monster big man who really *made* the powerbomb in America,” another added.
