Former WWE and WCW star Mike Jones, better known as Virgil and Vincent, passed away earlier this week at the age of 61 after battling various health issues.
Ted DiBiase Sr. was paired with Virgil during their WWE career together, and he shared his fond memories of the late WWE star’s career on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Virgil’s career: “The way that Vince [McMahon] laid it out was the biggest point. He made Virgil understand what his job was and he did it very well. … It wasn’t that he did a whole lot but [he had] presence and the fact that he was this great, big, muscled-up guy.”
On Virgil being held back by his in-ring talent: “The reality is: Virgil was a great guy but he wasn’t really a great wrestler. If he’d have had a little more wrestling talent, we could’ve got a little more out of it, but what we got out of it was great.”
