Any other time than that, it never happened. So, those are the two times I played softball when I wasn’t wrestling. And during that time, I played some softball. And it took me about 3 or 4 months to get out of my contract where I could go back to WCW. “The next time it came about was when I’d had my fill of the WWF at the time, and I told Vince I wasn’t going to be there anymore. How the rumors continued during his time in WWF: You know, so I’m not going to worry about putting Lex over, I never worried about putting people over. When somebody’s paying me, you know, big money to sit at home, that 30 seconds I probably got paid $200,000 for that.

Now you’ve got to realize, I was either out for 7 or 8 months. I’m only guessing at this point, but I think it was Jerry Lawler, of course he played a lot of softball, saw me out there all the time and suddenly, the office calls me and says, ‘What the f–k are you doing playing softball?” I said, ‘Well man, I wasn’t told not to play softball, I was told to put on some weight.’ Ole (Anderson) was the booker, he said for your punishment they’re going to have you come in and you’re going to put Lex Luger over in 5 seconds. And so, during my time off I played a little softball. “So, I go back home, and I’m just, you know, working out every day, eating 15 times a day, and working out 2 or 3 times a day. So, I put my weight on, went to see them, they looked at me and said ‘No, we won’t you to put a little more weight on.’ And I don’t know what Terry Funk said, but they didn’t fire me or make a big deal about me being that skinny. So, I picked him up at the airport, made one loop around the airport and I dropped him off. I didn’t even know I could drive that day, but I was scared not to drive because I was afraid I was going to lose my job.

So, I was gaining my weight back and I flew in, they looked at me ? actually they had Terry Funk fly in one time to look at me. I had my lung surgery where I had a hole in my lung, so they had to cut part of my lung away, so I lost a lot of weight. “What happened on that was this ? started back a long time ago when I worked for WCW.

Recently former WWE and WCW World Champion Sid Vicious spoke with Hannibal TV and addressed longstanding rumors that he would breach wrestling contracts to play softball.
