WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi recently paid tribute to the former WCW star on his “Off The Top” podcast, highlighting the impact Vicious had on the wrestling community.

“We’ve lost another legend in the business,” Rikishi said. “Sid definitely left his mark on the industry and helped pave the way for the new generation of wrestlers. He was always kind to the Samoan community, to me and my family. He was such a great guy … My heart goes out to his family, his friends, and all the wrestling fans around the world who are mourning the loss of another wrestling icon.”
