Vinnie Ferrari

As of December 2007, his former Web site, vinnie4prez.com is no longer active and he does not appear to have worked recently in the independent wrestling circuit.

On June 10, 2005, Ferrari nearly defeated Slambo to win the title himself in his first match since 2001. In October 2005, Ferrari managed Rockin' Rebel to the title, though Rebel quickly lost it to "Dynamic" Dennis Diamond. Since then, he has managed the Redneck Mafia and Team Darkness to EGW tag-team titles. In 2006, Ferrari worked mainly for EGW as the manager of the Ferrari Administration and occasional wrestler.

Even in "retirement," Ferrari worked occasionally as a ring announcer. On December 6, 2004, after the hoopla of the 2004 presidential campaign had subsided, Ferrari announced his intention to run for President of the United States in 2008. His candidacy has been the subject of occasional news reports worldwide. [1][2][3]

Ferrari began appearing on cards for New Millennium Wrestling, a promotion based out of Rochester, New York first as a ring announcer and eventually as a wrestler and manager. While he never wrestled a match on the bigger live show, he appeared as a masked backyard wrestler named I.B. Green. After returning to managing, Olmstead would pass the masked gimmick down to trainee Rob Cook who still uses the moniker on the independent circuit. As manager Vinnie Ferrari, Olmstead would guide the team of Chills 'N Thrills (Big Poppa Chill and The Canadian Thriller) to several NMW Tag Team Championship matches. He later wrestled for several independent promotions in the Eastern United States—primarily Upstate New York and Pennsylvania before "retiring" in 2001.

He was booked for the first time as a wrestler in 1999, when he lost to Big Poppa Chill in Cheektowaga, New York.

In late 1999/early 2001 Vinnie began training future independent wrestling star "Poison" Appollo Starr. Appollo would go on to get further training from Jimmy KillKillia and American Kickboxer at the R.A.A.G.E. Dojo. He still credits Vinnie for teaching him to work left, how to bump and some of the finer points of pro wrestling as well helping him get booked for his first match with Don Adams' Penn York Wrestling.

Kevin Olmstead was an independent professional wrestler and manager known as Vinnie Ferrari. He also was a candidate for president of the United States. A former radio personality in the Elmira-Corning, New York, market, he became a ring announcer for the United States Wrestling Federation after his station booked the USWF for a 1996 radio promotion.
