[edit] Professional wrestling career
[edit] World Championship Wrestling (1996–1999)
After training at the WCW Power Plant, he made his professional debut on the March 31, 1997 episode of Nitro under the ring name Lance Ringo, where he lost to Diamond Dallas Page.[4][5]
Several months later, Vick returned on the November 24 episode of Nitro as Sick Boy, where he was also revealed to be a member of Raven's Flock. His third match of his career was a lost to Chris Benoit.[6] Sick Boy received his first title match as he competed against Page for the United States Heavyweight Championship on the January 29, 1999 episode of Thunder, but was unsuccessful in winning the title.[7] He faced Page in a rematch for the title on the February 17 episode of Saturday Night, but was again unsuccessful.[4] He then continued to wrestle in many feuds with Chris Benoit, Diamond Dallas Page, Steve McMichael, Bill Goldberg and others.
Sick Boy remained with the Flock until its disbanding on September 13 at Fall Brawl. In 1999, Vick dropped the grungy attire associated with the group in favor of dyeing his hair blonde and adopting wrestling trunks. The effort to repackage Scott fell short. The new gimmick was designed to take advantage of his athletic abilities with a combination of his high flying and power style, unique at the time for a 260 pounder. Scott and WCW could not come to terms on the direction of his character.[8] So the July 22 episode of Thunder, he wrestled his last match for the company with Rick Steiner in a match for the World Television Championship.[9]
[edit] World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment (1999–2002)
In October 1999, Vick signed a booking contract with the World Wrestling Federation.[1][2] Scott was supposed to be involved in a story line with Val Venis, but the character of Val Venis got scrapped and so did the story line. Between 1999 and 2002, he made frequent appearances in dark matches and began working on a new character and group called the triad, in WWE's developmental territory, Memphis Championship Wrestling. Vick was then to take part in the infamous Katie Vick storyline in October 2002, which involved wrestler Kane supposedly committing necrophilia.[10] However, due to general disapproval with the storyline, the angle was quickly dropped and Vick departed from the company before retiring shortly afterward.
