I feel bad for whoever paid 500 bucks for it. It's most likely fake and the jacket itself isn't worth 500.

If Virgil is this desparate for money why doesn't he just try getting a job?

I thought it was going to be the "Virgil Wrestling Superstar" banner.

Is this guy implying that Macho and Hogan were having some sort of freaky threeway with Virgil!?
Edit: $200 for a Macho poster!? WTF is this guy smoking?

Selling wrestling worn items isn't new. I think the shame of it is that these one of a kind piece rarely go for much money. Paul Ellering sold some items about a year ago and average was around $500 each.
I like the part where is said "proof NOT from Virgil." He was probably trying to type "note" but with how bad a reputation Virgil has around here you'd think he was thinking the same way and wanted to show that it came with proof, just not from Virgil, who some may not believe.

Why do I want someone to buy this and go to every wrestling convention he is at wearing it. And get into some kind of hustle off? Or is that to mean?

 Well, yeah. Wrestling worn items- they're common for a serious collector- but you have to have some money for that stuff. You, me...we don't have that much money to go with wrestling worn gear. Not like my main man, Ted DiBiase. He'll be here in just a bit, really- he's out picking out an extra-nice car, come here in style. Until then, I'm watching this booth for him- he'll be back, it's gonna be awesome for you. Come on, buy a 8X10, I got one right here with Ted, with Andre- Mega Bucks- Andre'll be here alongside Ted, all three of us will sign it, more one of a kind than any vests. Buy a photo right now, 20 bucks, I'll sign it straight to you, everyone will know you met a bonafide wrestling legend! |

A few years ago at a mall around here a sports store had a signing with Sunny, Sheik and Volkoff.
Outside the store was Virgil. He had the Dibiase sign up and some lady (who I think figured it was Jr. as she mentioned her daughter being a fan) kept going back and forth with the employee. She would say she wants a Dibiase autograph and the guy keeps pointing to a flyer that it was only Sunny, Sheik and Volkoff. Guy probably didn't even realize Virgil was outside.

How does he get away with just setting up shop like that? I saw Virgil at an ATM a few years back, he looked unhappy with the results. |

How does he get away with just setting up shop like that? I saw Virgil at an ATM a few years back, he looked unhappy with the results. It's one of several guesses. 1) He asked to set up for free or paid to be there. 2) He sets up without knowledge of dealer. For example, at this show no one seemed to even know he was outside the store. 3) Whoever sees him maybe figures he belongs and doesn't think to ask. For example, Dennis Farina's character on Law & Order when he would say "we're authorized." Maybe they just figure it's been dealt with on the promoters end. I was at a show with Nikolai, Tito Santana and Tom Brandi. The "backstage" area was a bar and Tito mentioned the video of Virgil in Grand Central Station. Then Tom mentioned that the first person he knew of that ever set up shop without a prior arrangement was Ox Baker. He said it was even in a bar where he put a towel or sheet on top the bar and started setting up his photos. Many years ago at a sports show, where tickets are sold in advance for talent, Virgil and Sheik were appearing. I even bought advanced tickets but they were both signing on their own. The show even had to issue refunds for tickets as fans would just pay those two guys. Abdullah the Butcher did the same thing at a show in Jersey. |

At the 2011 Fanfest in Atlanta, Abdullah set up in the hotel lobby and started selling his stuff. A few minutes later, Greg Price and hotel staff showed up and escorted Abby from the premises. As big of a pain in the ass as Virgil can be at the Fanfest, he at least always buys his vendor space.
