Professional wrestling career

World Championship Wrestling (1997-1999)

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.[5][6]

Several months later, Vick competed 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 loss to Chris Benoit.[7] Sick Boy received his first title match as he competed against Page for the United States Heavyweight Championship on the January 29, 1998 episode of Thunder, but was unsuccessful in winning the title.[8] He faced Page in a rematch for the title on the February 17 episode of Saturday Night, but was again unsuccessful.[5] He then continued to wrestle in many feuds with Chris Benoit, Diamond Dallas Page, Steve McMichael, Bill Goldberg and others.

Sick Boy would then be used as a jobber for several months afterwards, and remained with the Flock until its disbanding on September 13 at Fall Brawl. In 1999, Vick dropped the grungy attire associated with the Flock and adopted wrestling trunks in addition to dyeing his hair blond.[9][10] On the July 22 episode of Thunder, he wrestled his last match for the company as he faced Rick Steiner in a match for the World Television Championship, but was unsuccessful in winning the title.[11]

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (1999–2002)

In October 1999, Vick signed a booking contract with the World Wrestling Federation. He appeared on Heat and Metal until his release.[1][2] According to WWE Producer Bruce Prichard on his podcast, Vick was originally scheduled to appear in the infamous Katie Vick storyline when he was to be called up to RAW, hence why the Katie character's last name was "Vick". However, after a series of underwhelming and disappointing matches, Vince McMahon decided to give the storyline to Kane and Triple H during their feud for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Independent Circuit (2015-Present)

On November 2, 2014, Sick Boy and Lodi reunited to win the WrestleForce Tag Team Championship from The Bravado Brothers. The Flock lost the titles against The Bravado Brothers on February 8, 2015.
