The world of professional wrestling suffered a pair of tragic losses as two former stars of the entertaining sport passed away.

On Monday, legendary former wrestler Sid Eudy, better known as "Sid Vicious" and "Sycho Sid," died from cancer at the age of 63, according to the Staten Island Advance.

Just days later, Wrestling Inc. reported that a former star of Mexico's Lucha Libre wrestling, Ray Mendoza Jr., better known as "Villano V," also died at the age of 62.

"Sid Vicious" was a "beloved grandfather"

The news of Eudy's death was first shared in a Facebook post on Monday by his son, Gunnar Eudy, who wrote, "I am deeply saddened to share that my father, Sid Eudy, has passed away after battling cancer for several years. He was a man of strength, kindness, and love, and his presence will be greatly missed."

"We appreciate your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this loss. Details for a memorial service will be shared soon. Thank you for your support," he added.

On Tuesday, the grieving son shared a follow-up post about his father's death that included more details about his health issues along with photos of him spending time with his grandchildren.

"He was known as Psycho Sid Vicious to the world, but to our family, he was simply 'Popper,' the beloved grandfather," Gunnar wrote. "Sid was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016 and atrial fibrillation (better known as AFIB) around the same time. He was also given a pacemaker. In April 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which was linked to roundup weed killer."

"Although he never told anyone about his fight against cancer, Sid lived his life to the fullest, attending the gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and of course t-ball games for the kids," he added. "He passed away peacefully in his bed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and determination. I've never met anyone with a fraction of the strength as my father he truly was one of a kind."

Champion wrestler

According to the SI Advance, Eudy rose to fame as a professional wrestler in the 1980s and '90s and twice won both the WWE and WCW championships while also headlining several major pay-per-view events.

He also appeared in two Wrestlemania events, including most famously in 1992 when he became the first opponent to escape from Hulk Hogan's notorious leg-drop finishing move. Eudy's career in the ring unfortunately ended in 2001 when he suffered a "catastrophic" leg injury during a match.

The WWE said of Eudy's passing, "Sid was one of the most imposing and terrifying competitors of his generation with a natural charisma that immediately connected with the WWE Universe." He is survived by his wife, two children, and two grandchildren.

Villano V has died

Meanwhile, according to Wrestling Inc., famed Mexican masked wrestler Villano V, whose real name was Ray Mendoza Jr., died on Thursday at the age of 62 from an undisclosed cause.

He was the fourth of five sons of famed Lucha Libre wrestler Ray Mendoza, who dominated the sport from the '50s through the '70s, with all of them becoming professional wrestlers and adopting numbered variations of his "Villano" name.

Villano V wrestled for several different promotions in Mexico, Japan, and the U.S., including most prominently the Universal Wrestling Association and the WCW during the late '90s. His career ended in Mexico in 2017, and is survived by one brother, two sons, and two nephews.
