    Default RIP Virgil

    WWE is saddened to learn that Michael Jones, known to WWE fans as Virgil, has passed away.
    A beloved Superstar throughout his time in sports-entertainment, Virgil broke through alongside "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and would go on to capture the Million Dollar Title, claim WrestleMania victories, and be featured as the original bodyguard of The nWo during a legendary career.

    61 years old, had a couple of strokes and died and developed cancer. I wonder how much of a role, if any, the vaccines played.

    Here some embedded videos featuring Virgil.


    At 2:04, Ted Dibiase reminds me of the way I talk to people.


    Virgil talking.


    This one is a classic. Virgil palms a basketball. But the best quotes were, "Look at that Virgil, look at the poverty." Funny as hell. Wholesome moment, with the mom in the background counting along with the dribles. And a hard life lesson when Ted Dibease tells the little boy, "When you don't do the job right, you don't get paid."

    He managed to make a name for himself after his in-ring career ended being a lonely, hustling carny with some great catchphrases.

    RIP

    Look at the way Virgil angles that old lady out of the way to clear the way for Ted Dibiase. He played his part well.

    As a child jstern dreamed of growing up to be extremely wealthy, and very tough, and to own a black man.


    Unfortunately for him none of those things came to fruition.

    That's a very disturbing imagination that you have there. Why would I want to own another human being? And why did you specifically say "A black man?" Why does your mind go there? Seems rather racist. Not surprising coming from a democrat.

    I remember when Coolio died, Virgil posted this image.



    Edit: I bet that's a porn star. She seems to have that vibe. So I want to ask Axe/Post, what is her name?

    Too bad he just can't. Op is too autistic for those and he can show his autism anytime by bringing up random users in random threads.

    My mind is blown. For all these years, Virgil had been lying about his age, and he was actually 72 years old at the time of his death. That's almost as old as Jasper. He was actually older than Ted DiBiase himself. Even his Wikipedia had him as being born in 1962, but they had since updated it.
    He was thought to be 61 years old by most media[27][28][29][30] upon his death, but his family and friends revealed his actual age as 72.
    Edit: The top comment so far, at the bottom of the video, has the avatar of an ISH member.
