That was right after Brett won the world title. He said he would take on all the comers and I remember seeing that on WWF superstars. Virgil wanted a title shot, so Brett gave him one. That handshake is from the start of the match before they started wrestling.
No matter where these guys were on the card, from bottom to top, these guys all gave their lives and bodies to entertain us fans. Virgil with Ted Dibiase was entertaining back in the day. RIP Virgil 🙏
@@honestdave Ted briefly spoke about him after he passed but they had an odd releationship and Virgil said a bunch of negative things about him in recent years. Virgil also was known to book appearances and promise DiBiase would attend when he had zero knowledge about the signing and was never scheduled. Virgil did it to get more people to see him and would tell them Ted had to cancel last minute. RIP Virgil.
@@Peppers19781978 I know about all the stories but honestly I think that Ted could be able to let bygones be bygones and just remember his old partner for 1 night.
😢😢😢 damn. This is why i took Sting retiring so hard. Virgil is gone. Childhood gets slowly chipped away. Thank you Virgil as a Black kid myself growing up watching WWF. Someone to look up. Along with the Mr Ts and Ron Simmons of the world. Rest in power, brother
RIP Virgil. I flipping loved him as a kid. At one point, Virgil was not only the leader of the nWo but also a technical genius. Seriously. He came and wrestled at Southampton Guildhall here in the UK in 2001. Not only was he the only person still coming out to the nWo music and in the t-shirt at that point, therefore the de-facto boss, but he also beat British grappling wizard Doug Williams via flatliner/armbreaker takedown into a Fujiwara. What a total legend!!!
My favourite moments about Virgil was when he turned against Ted DiBiase at Royal Rumble 1991 , helped Roddy Piper to his feet at Wrestlemania 7 and won the million dollar belt at Summerslam 1991 and helped Texas Tornado beat DiBiase . Though times were tough for Virgil after that he proved tough times don't last but tough people do . Rest well Virgil and also Rest Well Ole Anderson who we also lost recently .
A lot of people didn't like you Vigil, and downgrade the weight of the Million dollar belt.. Buy its a very difficult industry.. wrestling and entertainment.. You got my respect, Virgil.. Rest in peace!! 🙏 🙏 ❤❤
I had the pleasure of meeting him and million dollar man I remember my little sister dropped her Teddy and virgil picked it up and gave it her back and u showing me the million dollar belt then we got a photo I will forever keep rewatching the good old golden era of wwf u are a legend ❤️
1:21 Wow - only Hitman remains from this team. Not-so-fun fact: 3 Survivor Series teams are entirely deceased 1) Survivor Series 1988 - Curt Hennig, Dino Bravo, Harley Race, Rick Rude, Andre the Giant 2) Survivor Series 1990 - Ultimate Warrior, Hawk, Animal, Kerry Von Erich 3) Survivor Series 1991 - Big Boss Man, Hawk, Animal
I’ve been questioning that. Glad it’s finally clarified. I said to myself, no way was he around 27 when he first took on the “Virgil” gig. He looked way too old in the late 80s.
@@shezziesbaby ok, because on google last week they had him being born in 1962, today its 1951. Thats a 9 year difference. Thanks for the clarification.
My goodness I remember Virgil he was the manager of the million dollar man Man,😢 and after he turned down on million Dollar man he decided to become a wrestler and have a a good career
He was over over out in Memphis before joining the WWF. Just like Vince did with many during that time, ended their careers before it could really start. You had guys with no personality, not wrestling skill or anything, get a better character and push than Virgil got. Dude was in the business 40 years while being positive and not saying or doing anything harmful to anyone in the business. Yet someone like Pat Patterson gets way more respect.
Rest in peace Virgil one of the best wrestlers and people in the world my thoughts and prayers goes out to his family, loved ones and friends Will miss you Virgil thank you for the memories i hope someday you'll be in the WWE hall of fame cause you deserve it 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊
Woww. That handshake with Bret Hart got me. Just so you guys know, if you can make Bret Hart have a handshake with you, believe me must be very special. Somebody is definitely choppin up the onions in here
Virgil has 2 Wrestlemania moments beating Ted DiBiase via count out at Wrestlemania 7 and helping Roddy Piper to his feet at that event and getting the pin in an 8 man tag match at Wrestlemania 8 .
