New Millennium Wrestling
Ferrari began appearing on cards for New Millennium Wrestling, a promotion based out of Rochester, NY first as a ring announcer and eventually as a wreslter 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.

Famous quotes containing the words millennium and/or wrestling:
“At the end of one millennium and nine centuries of Christianity, it remains an unshakable assumption of the law in all Christian countries and of the moral judgment of Christians everywhere that if a man and a woman, entering a room together, close the door behind them, the man will come out sadder and the woman wiser.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
