This came and went pretty quickly. Still surreal to think he was back in the company in 2010. Any highlights of note here?

Virgil: What will do you for protection?
Dibiase: Go to the drug store.
Probably the only highlight

Just reminds me of how so much potential was wasted. He had so much to offer if they just gave that kid a chance. I suppose the same could be said about Ted. Jr. as well.

ah yes... when I Realized that the WWE had completely given up on showing instead of telling.
Ted Dibaise Jr. is super rich and does all osrts of stuff with his money cause he's so rich.
I was talking to him earlier and he said gee I have all of this money... boy I can't tell you!
instead of like... having vignettes or promos of him just buying random shit cause he could like they did for Ted Sr.
(yes, I know he bought some dude's eye... but that literally once... and made like no sense)

I wonder if they were just trying to do Virgil a favor.
Ted Jr. was alright, but it's kind of comical how off-base WWE was in thinking he'd be the star out of him and Cody. I guess it did also push Cody to get more ambitious, since he's talked about being fond of Ted, but also considering him a rival.
Ted just really only seemed to have one speed, like I never remember him getting all that much more intense or heated. Well, onscreen, requisite reference to, "HE TRIED TO F*** ON ME!"

There's only two things I remember from this Ted Jr. and Virgil run.
The first is when Ted originally tried to get R-Truth as his Virgil, and it led to Truth slapping Ted in their PPV match so hard that Ted got a concussion out of it.
The second is the already mentioned drugstore line when they wrote off Virgil and replaced him with Maryse.

Was it ever explained in kayfebe how Virgil became a Dibiase stooge again? Considering how the relationship with his dad ended the character would have zero interest working for his kid.
That being said he kinda did if we consider Virgil and WCW Vincent as the same character.

I think when Virgil goes into the Hall of Fame (which he does deserve) they should have him accept at an Olive Garden. Have a trophy with a cup that's full of meat sauce.

I'm sure Ted Dibiase would induct Virgil into the HOF, but I would love to see a Olive Garden dishwasher induct him instead. |

Ted does not f*** with Virgil at all, because of Virgil's tendency to advertise "Ted DiBaise & Virgil" meet and greets with no intention of even letting the former know about it, much less producing Ted at all. |
