Despite his injuries, Eudy still managed to rise to the upper echelons of some of the promotions he worked for. He was a two-time WWF Champion, a two-time WCW Heavyweight Champion, and a WCW United States Champion.
He had iconic feuds with Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Bret Hart, Hulk Hogan, Goldberg, Booker T and Sting. After a devastating injury in 2001, Eudy wrestled sparingly in several different promotions. He returned to WWE for “Monday Night RAW” in 2012.
Eudy later died of cancer at age 63 in 2024.
