I can't feel sorry for him, he had a sweet gig with the Million Dollar Man and all he had to do with wipe his boots, give him massages and clean his belt. If you wanna blame anyone, blame "Rowdy" Roddy Piper for making him turn on DiBiase. Never bite the hand that feeds.

I guess his cameo on The Edge and Christian Show didn't give him the big bucks and rub he wanted/expected.

 
This guy was free DLC in WWE 2k14 and I don't remember him being in the other games.

I kinda feel bad for him.

Damn, I didn't realize he had a thread.
Just so we have the info here:
Jones' final years were riddled with declining health and various illnesses, which led to a GoFundMe page being created to support his family with the financial burden.


Wrestling referee Mark "The Count" Charles III took to Facebook to announce the passing of former WWE star Michael Jones, famously dubbed Virgil, at 61.

Before his death, Jones faced declining health over the years, battling through strokes, dementia, and stage II colon cancer.


His health struggles prompted him to create a GoFundMe campaign late last year to alleviate financial burdens.

Announcing the news of the devastating loss, Charles wrote: "My dear friends, it is with great sorrow that I bring news from the Jones family of the passing of our beloved Michael Jones, whom we know and loved as Virgil, Vincent, Soul Train Jones and more."

He added: "Virgil passed peacefully at the hospital this morning and I ask that you pray for him and for his family. May his memory be eternal!"

Jones' official Instagram page also had a statement confirming his passing. It read: "This is to confirm the sad news about our beloved Meatsauce God and Wrestling Superstar Virgil/Michael Jones has passed away."

The statement continued, "There is so much to say here and would love to share stories but for now it's a rough day as our friend is gone. We would only ask at this time to remember him as the man that he was. Wishing him all the unlimited pasta in heaven. We love you Mike."

On a smaller note, here's what pro wrestler Tony Deppen had to say about him:
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.

In a retweet, he adds:
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.”
