Michael "Mike" Jones (April 7, 1961 – February 28, 2024) was an American {{professional wrestl|ing}}er (or ''[[InsistentTerminology Wrestling Superstar]]'' as he would put it, more on that later), most popularly known as Virgil, the pseudonym he used during his most famous run with Wrestling/{{WWE}}, where he was the BeleagueredAssistant and bodyguard of "The Million Dollar Man" Wrestling/TedDiBiase. That, and for being a bit down on his luck in his later years... but we'll get to that later.

* CloudCuckooLander: He's a little......out there.
** Has anyone figured out what "fuck money" even ''means?''

* DownerEnding: His last appearance on television was being stuck working as the {{Mook|s}} once more, this time for [[Wrestling/TedDibiaseJr Junior.]] After a few weeks, he was unceremoniously fired, and never seen again. Poor guy just can't catch a break.

* FinishingMove: The Million Dollar Dream, an [[TheArtifact Artifact]] from his days with [=DiBiase=].

* ShoutOut: Is a big fan of The Olive Garden, and namedrops the restaurant frequently.
* SmallNameBigEgo: In the [=nWo=].
* TheStoic: Virgil/Vincent didn't show much emotion during his days as a bodyguard/NWO Head Of Security.
* TakeThat: The name "Virgil" was a jab at Wrestling/DustyRhodes; for those not in the know, Dusty's real name was Virgil Runnels. This tradition was continued in [=WCW=] where he was renamed "[[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vincent.]]" And then "[[Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon Shane.]]" Starting to notice a pattern?

In 1996, Mike Jones departed for Wrestling/{{WCW}}, joining up with the Wrestling/NewWorldOrder under the name Vincent, where he assumed his old role and took beatings for his higher-ups in the stable. During the Wrestling/VinceRusso era, he was renamed Shane, and joined up with Russo's group the Powers That Be, with Wrestling/CurtHennig and the Harris Brothers. He also went through the names Curly Bill and Mr. Jones before finally wrestling under his real name in the dying days of the company.

As Virgil, he did manage to make an unlikely comeback to the [=WWE=] in 2010, this time as the bodyguard of Wrestling/TedDiBiaseJr, but the angle didn't last too long as Junior fired him in favor of his new valet, Wrestling/{{Maryse}}.
