Moving to the World Wrestling Federation ( WWF ) , he first appeared as a jobber wrestling under the name Lucius Brown , losing a squash match to " Mr . Wonderful " Paul Orndorff . He then went on to debut in the summer of 1987 as Virgil , the bodyguard for " Million Dollar Man " Ted DiBiase . His stage name , thought up by Bobby Heenan , was meant as a jab against then - World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) wrestler Virgil Runnels , better known as Dusty Rhodes . Virgil carried DiBiase ' s cash that he liked to flaunt and was the one who got beaten up while DiBiase ran away after a devious act against a face . Eventually , Virgil got 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 . After forming a friendship and training with Roddy Piper , he defeated DiBiase by count - out at WrestleMania VII and pinned him for the belt on August 26 , 1991 at SummerSlam . He lost the belt back to DiBiase in November of that year as a result of outside interference by the Repo Man . This led to a tag team match at the This Tuesday in Texas PPV , where Repo Man and DiBiase defeated Virgil and Tito Santana . At WrestleMania VIII , Virgil teamed with The Big Boss Man , Sgt . Slaughter , and Jim Duggan to defeat The Nasty Boys ( Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags ) , Repo Man , and The Mountie . Virgil pinned Knobs following a heel miscommunication .

After a valiant effort , Virgil submitted to Hart ' s Sharpshooter . After the match , the two shook hands out of respect . Virgil then remained in the undercard until he left the company in mid - 1994 . His last appearance on a PPV event was the 1994 Royal Rumble where he was a late substitute for Kamala . World Championship Wrestling ( 1996 – 2000 ) . He appeared in WCW as Vincent in 1996 , where he was the " Head of Security " for the nWo . His name was meant to be a mockery of WWF owner Vince McMahon . Jones had minor success when first arriving , winning a few matches on the low profile " WCW Saturday Night " . Rarely wrestling , he often valeted nWo members such as Scott Norton and Scott Steiner . Jones , like his role in the WWF , would again take the brunt of the beatings as other nWo members scurried away . Vincent ' s first PPV match with WCW was at Starrcade 1997 , when he teamed with Scott Norton and Randy Savage to defeat The Steiner Brothers and Ray Traylor . His next match on pay per view came in November 1998 , when he competed in the World War 3 Battle Royal , unsuccessfully .

Vincent ' s one and only WCW singles match on pay per view came at Uncensored 1999 when he was on the losing end of a Harlem Street Fight against his nWo Black and White partner Stevie Ray . During the ' Powers That Be ' angle in fall of 1999 , Jones was renamed Shane , again a mockery of WWF owner Vince McMahon ' s son Shane McMahon .

In late 1999 , he joined The West Texas Rednecks in their dying days as Curly Bill but the faction split shortly after .

He did autograph appearances in both wrestling conventions and non - wrestling conventhions . In April 2006 , Jones toured Asia at different US Military installations as part of the Morale , Welfare , and Recreation program for soldiers stationed overseas .
