9 Wrestling Rumours & Reactions (July 18): Jack Swagger Quitting WWE?
2. Virgil Wants To Be The 1,000,000 Dollar Man!
Newsworthy Bite: Former wrestler Virgil has started up his own GoFundMe campaign in which he's asking fans to help him become "The $1,000,000 Man". Here is his description:
"Remember me? I am Mike Jones AKA Wrestling Superstar Virgil. I am the real deal. I have been around the world 30 times and my life has always been about the hustle. I started out in the old WWF as the bodyguard of the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and said to myself now it is now MY TIME to be the Millionaire. If you have watched wrestling than you know who I am. I will inspire you that million dollar dreams can come true. Show your love for your favorite wrestler ever by giving me $1, $10, $100, shit $1000 and make me a MILLIONAIRE. You could make this happen and I will forever be grateful. Everyday I hustle and now I am trying to show the world that this dog can be taught new tricks!"
Reaction: For those of you that don't know, this is just another strange money making tactic by the former wrestler. He's been known to sit -- usually alone -- at wrestling conventions trying to get fans to pay more money for his pictures/autographs. He's recently joined Twitter, and is a bit like Iron Sheik 2.0. Now, he's got a GoFundMe account that's basically just asking for money. Currently he has raised $125 from 17 people, wow.
