[News Update] John Laurinaitis Wants Sid Vicious To Return To WWE

John Laurinaitis is reportedly the WWE executive pushing for the company to bring back Sid Vicious. While it would certainly be an interesting move, it is being called a long shot at best. It is interesting to note that Laurinaitis would even bring up Vicious' name considering the two have had heat for years as Laurinaitis was the WCW road agent that suggested he try the kick from the middle rope at the WCW Sin PPV on January 14, 2001 which resulted in him suffering a very graphic compound fracture to his leg.

The match at Sin pretty much ended Vicious' career, although he has been working independent dates every now and then in his mid-40s. Laurinaitis attended an independent wrestling show over the weekend that featured Vicious headlining against Jerry “The King” Lawler. Based on all that we have heard, Sid was moving around good.

LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway said of the possible return of Vicious to WWE, "It would be a loss and we'd miss featuring him in our storylines, but we'd also love to see what WWE would do with Sid should he return to WWE." Sid Vicous is currently a featured legend in Legends Championship Wrestling, teaming with Dan Spivey as The Skyscrapers. The Skyscrapers are former LCW United States Tag Team Champions.
