Former WWE superstar Virgil dies at 61
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/us...ael-jones.html
Former WWE superstar Virgil has died at the age of 61, weeks after it was widely reported that he suffered 'several strokes,' a company spokesman confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Virgil, whose real name was Michael Jones, is best remembered for his time wrestling in World Wrestling Entertainment during the 1980s and 1990s.
According to referee Mark Charles III, who first broke then news of his sad death, Virgil died passed away Wednesday, peacefully in a hospital. In 2022, the star was diagnosed with dementia and suffered two strokes.
He began with the company as the bad guy bodyguard of one of the company's supreme villains, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase.
However, in 1991 he sensationally turned on his on-screen boss and become a good guy, defeated DiBiase at that year's Wrestlemania and Summerslam pay per views with icon Rowdy Roddy Piper by his side.
He failed to capitalize on that success and spent the rest of his time with WWE as a jobber or enhancement talent before jumping ship like many of his colleagues to World Championship Wrestling in the mid 1990s.
