A colossal rendering of the late ‘Sycho’ Sid Vicious has emerged in Manhattan, New York to promote Westside Gunn’s newest album Still Praying. The new 14-track album was released on November 1, and features Sid in the ring on the cover.
Westside Gunn’s wrestling fandom can’t be denied, as anyone who’s listened to his music will attest. Here are some lyrics from the popular music artist.
“Slam you on your neck like Bruno Sammartino / Welcome home Tito, you proud and sippin’ pinot.” – No Vacancy, Pray for Paris
“I’m impactin’ the culture like Eric Bischoff” – George Bondo, Pray for Parris
“Hit the brick with a Claymore kick, rock a Liz Claiborne, it ain’t safe for ’em (Ah)” – Claiborne Kick, Pray for Paris
“Trappin’ out the fiend spot, the b*tch had section 8/One deal went real bad, we had to wet the place (Brr, brr)/Denims Mankind, I’m talking Foley with the leather face” – Undertaker Vs. Goldberg, Hitler Wears Hermes 7
Gunn’s love of wrestling isn’t exclusive to WWE as he’s also shown love to AEW. Gunn was on the September 7, 2022, edition of AEW Dynamite in his native Buffalo, New York.
Sadly, Sid won’t get the chance to listen to the new album as he passed away earlier this year at the age of 63. Despite his passing, Sycho Sid remembers an iconic name in the world of pro wrestling and Westside Gunn’s album cover is a unique tribute to the former WWE and WCW World Champion.
