Mike Jones (born June 13, 1962) is a professional wrestler better known as Virgil in the World Wrestling Federation and Vincent in World Championship Wrestling.
Career
He then went to the WWF as Virgil, the slave for "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. His stage name, thought up by Bobby Heenan, was meant as a jab against then-WCW wrestler Virgil Runnels, better known as Dusty Rhodes. Jones carried DiBiase's cash that he liked to flaunt and was the one who got beat up while DiBiase ran away after a devious act on a face. Eventually, Jones tired of being humiliated by DiBiase and turned on him, hitting him with his own Million-Dollar Title belt at the Royal Rumble in January 1991. He defeated DiBiase by count-out at Wrestlemania VII and pinned him for the belt on August 26, 1991 at SummerSlam. He would lose the belt back to DiBiase in November of that year as a result of outside interference by the Repo Man. After this feud ended, Jones wrestled in the under-card. At Wrestlemania VIII at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana, he, along with The Big Boss Man, Sgt. Slaughter, and Jim Duggan, defeated The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags), Repo Man, and The Mountie. Virgil pinned Knobbs after five minutes of action following a heel miscommunication. He remained with the company until 1994.
Jones then became Shane to mock Shane McMahon and jobbed regularly on WCW Saturday Night. In late 1999, he joined The West Texas Rednecks in their dying days as Curly Bill but the faction split shortly after. Jones went to wrestling under his real name until he left WCW in 2000. After some time on the independent circuit, Jones retired from wrestling as a living. Jones is currently a math teacher at Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and still makes regular memorabilia show and military goodwill appearances.[1] Wrestlers managedChampionships and accomplishments
