The 18-200VR is a great lens for what it is. Not sure how the Sigma compares, but I doubt most people could tell the difference. There's also a Tamron 18-270 "VR" Macro that was recently released for about $600 street that's more of that kind of thing. Haven't seen reviews on the Tammy. All those lenses will be "slow" for your application, meaning a slower shutter speed or higher ISO will be required to work with those f/3.5-5.6 apertures. The VR won't help you with wrestling photos, but it's very useful when shooting still subjects. There's also a 55-200VR Nikon kit lens that's way better than it deserves to be for about $210 street.
