There are a lot of questions about what Vincents purpose in WCW was. Some say that his above-average physique made him an ideal bodyguard for lower-card wrestlers, while others say that his entire WCW career, and his WCW ring name, was meant to poke fun at Vince McMahon just as Virgil made fun of WCW booker Dusty Rhodes. For the most part, Vincent didnt contribute anything new to WCW. He was still used as a sponge for punishment, especially while working as a member of the NWO. Most of his time included managing/valeting for other, more popular wrestlers, and whenever there were group-on-group beatdowns, he would be the one man left in the ring as the New World Order escaped. How such a gimmick was ever supposed to have a big payoff or increase fan interest remains a mystery to this day. Vincent was the perfect example of one of those guys in WCW who was just there. When the New world Order ballooned in terms of membership, Vincent was the random guy who seemed so out of place. No matter what he did in WCW, he never made a major impact, and just took up a place on an already oversized WCW roster.
