AND "JUSTICE" FOR ALL-
After a 7 hear hiatus from pro wrestling, "The Man Who Rules the World" Sid Vicious plans a full-scale return to the squared circle. "Psycho", "Humongous" or "Justice" all describe the 6'10", 318-pound veteran who today said: I am ready to come back and dominate the industry. All of my peers have faded and or are on their way out. I was blessed with this injury because it has allowed me to rest and heal and now I am 100%. There is no one else out there who has what I have and I am ready to re-educate the wrestling world on who Sid Vicious really is."

RETIRING-
Canadian indy mainstay "Dangerboy" Derek Wylde has announced that he will be retiring after 15 years as a pro wrestler. In a message on his MySpace page, he explains the reasons behind his decision. "Recently, I have had some health issues because of the toll I put on my body. I need a couple surgerys and unfortunatley, if I keep it up at this pace, I wont live to see my beautiful daughter get married. I feel in my heart that I'm not ready to go but I know I have no choice. My family loves me and needs me." He will be doing a farewell tour of sorts, appearing at various local indy shows between March 28 and May 31.
