During their United Kingom tour in Blackburn, Lancashire on October 28 (four days after Halloween Havoc), Eudy was involved in a hotel bar scuffle with Arn Anderson. Both were rushed to the hospital, as Anderson suffered scissor stab wounds to the chest and stomach.[2] Both survived the incident. Sid has apologized to Anderson for what happened, and the two are now on good terms.

Sid was released from WCW after several wrestlers threatened to walk out because of him. It had been planned to have Sid challenge then-World Heavyweight Champion Vader at that year's Starrcade, but Sid's departure removed him from this match and Ric Flair was elevated to be the challenger against Vader.
