10 WCW Superstars Who Should Blame WWE For Their Crappy Gimmicks
9. Vincent (Virgil)
Virgil made his mark in WWE in the late 1980s to early 1990s. He was known as the bodyguard of the "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase and then when they broke apart, he was booked as a singles wrestler that was liked by the fans. His WWE run ended in 1994, so he went to WCW in 1996. They put him in the New World Order group with the name Vincent, which was a bit of a shot at WWE. He was actually introduced as the "Head of Security" of the NWO, which is similar to being a bodyguard just like he was in WWE. The name Virgil was given to him in WWE because former NWA/WCW booker was Dusty Rhodes, whose real name was Virgil Runnels. When WCW brought him in, they weren't shy about taking a shot at WWE right way. They named him Vincent, which is of course a shot at WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. He really didn't do much in WCW at all and is always pointed to as a guy that really didn't fit in there. It's amazing that he was employed by WCW for four years when he really didn't do much at all. That's WCW for ya. These days, Virgil has become a running joke because he is apparently hurting for money and has resorted to selling photos of himself in subway stations or other random public locations.
