Another Virgil moment
Nov 9th, 2007, 8:58am
 
I attended a sports autograph/memorabilia show this past weekend in D.C. and all to my surprise there was an un-announced guest.  Good ol' "wrestling legend" Virgil.  Among other ridiculous things I seen him do, the best was him trying to steal pretzels from a 5 year old.  Quite amusing, scared the crap outta the kid when he noticed.  Not much of a line for Virg.  He spent a lot of time leaving his table unattended and looking at other tables.  There was a vendor there that had some awesome 16x20 signed pictures of wrestlers.  He said he holds private signings with boxers, olympic athletes, and wrestlers a lot.  I picked up a great picture of Piper boxing Mr. T signed and a picture of Superstar Billy Graham with Arnold Schwarzenegger signed by Graham.  He enjoyed telling me stories about the Piper and Jake Roberts signings.  He also told me that at the next show in March he will be bringing in some legends of the ring.  Can't wait..........

Hi all, new to replying on board but a long time reader -  I happened to be a vendor in Indianapolis a few years ago for a show. I happened to be situated right next to Virgil - I can tell you first hand that this guy has no respect for anyone, fans or the business - this guy talked trash about fans after they didnt purchase anything from his table - he rarely was at his table even as he was to busy seeing all his buddies. I also saw him last year the Capital Legends Fanfest in Maryland, and i think he kinda remembered me but anyway he was kinda the same way there too. Now this is just my opinion and can speak first hand about my encounters with him, but to me he's really not that big of a deal
