Retirement
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.
Four days after announcing for president, Ferrari returned to the ring, managing former WWF wrestler Don Adams in the Tamaqua, Pennsylvania-based Elite Generation Wrestling. Within a month, he managed Big Poppa Chill to the EGW Heavyweight Championship. Chill lost the title to Slambo the Clown a couple of months later.
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.
As of December 2007, his former Web site, vinnie4prez.com is no longer active and he does not appear to have worked recently in the independent wrestling circuit.
