Here it is, the peak of abstract, pretentious professional wrestling Halloween costumes. Virgil was the worst, the worst of the worst, worsted (is that a word) only by his SummerSlam 1991 opponent, Nailz. Since retiring from in-ring competition however, Virgil has become one of the most entertaining personalities in wrestling, for one reason. He is possibly the saddest man alive. Pay respects to him this Halloween by throwing on some jogging bottoms, add a plain t-shirt or hoody, and proceed to sit on your own all evening. If approached, be sure to make some sort of ridiculous remark such as 'I'm the black Steve Jobs', or try to charge the acquaintance to have their photograph taken with you. There you have it! Seven Halloween alternatives from the wrestling world. Roll on Saturday...
Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
