RIP Virgil

As a performer - an incredible athlete and a reliable soldier.

As a person - he was funny, cordial and unpredictable in all the best ways.

He was a trooper and a friend of GCW. I truly feel lucky to have known him and I'll share my personal "Virgil stories" forever. pic.twitter.com/CADqoMN3hg

GCW is saddened to learn of the passing of VIRGIL.

He played a memorable part in GCW history, appearing on Joey Janela's Spring Break Part 1, 2 and 3!

We will miss him and remember him fondly.

Rest in POWER Virgil! pic.twitter.com/GM0nUSSvts

Sad to hear of the passing of Mike Jones at the age of 61. Perhaps best known as "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase's personal assistant Virgil in the WWF, he had been diagnosed with dementia in 2022 and had experienced several minor strokes as well as other health issues. pic.twitter.com/8kEjU3Y53C

Virgil was on my first ever show. He told me how he played football with Dan Marino and could run the 40 yd dash in 4.3. Dude was the goat.

Rip Virgil. Now you’re off to the big meat sauce in the sky.

And the one worker on the show asked to snag a pic, Virgil said, “$20”, guy responds he’s a worker and Virgil goes, “cool $20.” https://t.co/Y1FlJmBLVI

Virgil once regaled me with the time him and Ted DiBiase met Victoria Beckham, in 1992. I now realize he meant Sarah, Duchess Of York.

Saddened to hear about the passing of Mike "Virgil" Jones this morning. He was beyond entertaining. Last time I saw him was when I was in Vegas for IMPACT, and was going to the @LVFightShop and he was outside waiting to get in to do a signing. Had a great conversation with him.… pic.twitter.com/aGjPv7G0Xp

I had one meeting with Virgil at a comic con… my boy was holding a corn dog and Virgil cursed him out about eating unhealthy- it was vulgar and over the top but I guess he really meant well. He made my dude trash his $10 corn dog. I’ll never forget it.

RIP Virgil. pic.twitter.com/0CakPUpqd6

I can tell you one thing. Virgil will not be lonely anymore. There are plenty of friends waiting for him on the other side. Rest in peace sir.

"You look like a young Hunter" he said to me in this convo at a convention back in 2018. Super nice guy. Legend of the game. pic.twitter.com/06VtxVUgM7
