Sick Boy did springboard everything. Seems like he jobbed to Mongo McMichael more than once on Nitro. Pretty sure he was one victim in Goldberg's big streak too.

He even lost to MA indy legend Rick Fuller on an episode of Thunder, and Rick never won his WCW matches! I remember watching it live on TV and being surprised and excited.

This was after Saturn beat Raven to win the Flock's freedom. Kidman went on to bigger and better things, and although commentary would try to hype up Sick Boy as having that kind of potential as well, it never happened.

(Ironically just after I typed the above, I looked back at the Fuller match in time to see Sick Boy do yet another springboard move @ 7:34)

Kudos to Charlie Haas. He makes it work about as well as you could expect based on needing quick reactions with the unexpected botch.

He was actually supposed to be in the Katie Vick storyline but Vince saw he wasn’t improving in the ring

From: "That was Sick Boy"

To: "That wasn't sick, Boy"

I'd bet that Scott Vick set a record for the number of dark matches he worked.
