    Lonely Virgil



    I don't give a squirt about Wrestling but being a frequenter of cons, I know who Virgil is. He's that guy with the perpetually empty table who seems to be at every toy and comic show in creation.

    Sam from the "Opie and Anthony" radio show seems to be obsessed with him and has even created a tumblr of memorable Virgil shots at various conventions, which i find fascinating:

    Lonely Virgil.

    I met him in a casino bathroom once in AC

    I did the NWO 4-Life and he acted like he was scared of me

    Actually from reports I've heard, he's kind of a jerk.

    I only ever rubbed elbows with him once in a toy show booth, he struck me as funny.

    That is truly funny. It's not sad at all. He's a grown freakin man who cannot let go of the one thing he did in his life that defined him. Where others left for alternate careers or were able to remain in the industry way past their prime, Virgil is trying to make a living off his name signing autographs.

    I have no sympathy at all. He made this choice and has to live with the results. We are all the sum of the choices we make in our lives.
    Last week The National Native American Museum celebrated its 25th anniversary. It was then relocated to Oklahoma to make room for the new Christopher Columbus Museum.

    I know what you're saying, but it's not like this dude ever made it big...can't blame him for trying to make a few bucks

    You should have tossed him a quarter...
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    You'd think he could split table costs with the Gobbledegooker or Bastion Booger. With this economy you have to spend wisely.
