Lucius Brown

Virgil first appeared as a jobber in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), wrestling under the name **Lucius Brown**, losing a squash match to "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff in Salisbury, Maryland on September 17, 1986.

He then went on to debut in the summer of 1987 as **Virgil**, the bodyguard for "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. 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. He would also occasionally be used in a wrestling capacity against DiBiase's rivals to try and soften them up; he would lose matches to such names as Randy Savage, Hercules and Jake Roberts.

Virgil was increasingly humiliated by DiBiase and eventually turned on him, hitting him with his own Million Dollar Title belt at the Royal Rumble in January 1991, making him a fan favorite. After befriending 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. At the This Tuesday in Texas pay-per-view, Repo Man and DiBiase defeated Virgil and Tito Santana.

At WrestleMania VIII, Virgil teamed with 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 Knobbs following a heel miscommunication. He would then primarily be used to put over numerous rising talents, losing to Nailz at SummerSlam and Yokozuna at Survivor Series. However, he did receive a shot at Bret Hart's WWF World Heavyweight Championship on the November 21, 1992 episode of *WWF Superstars*. 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, losing to Johnny Polo on a tour of Ontario in November 1993.

Virgil's last appearance on a pay-per-view event was the 1994 Royal Rumble, where he was a late substitute for Kamala. His last notable feud was with a returning Nikolai Volkoff in the summer of 1994. However, he continued to perform on television and on the house show circuit for the WWF until he was released that August.

He was booked per appearance for the WWF in May 1995 in house show matches against Jean-Pierre LaFitte.

Virgil appeared in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as **Vincent** in 1996, where he was the "Head of Security" for the nWo.

Vincent 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. Vincent, like his role in the WWF, would again take the brunt of the beatings as other nWo members scurried away. Vincent's first pay-per-view 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. He was part of the nWo Hollywood faction when the stable split and he was one of the last members of the nWo when it dissolved in 1999.

Vincent's 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**. During this time, Shane teamed with Curt Hennig and Creative Control, doing Vince Russo's bidding. In late 1999, he joined the West Texas Rednecks under the name of **Curly Bill**, but the faction split shortly after. His last role for the company saw him managing Ernest "The Cat" Miller under the name **Mr. Jones**, but he was soon replaced by a valet named Ms. Jones. He would then go on to compete under his real name, **Mike Jones**, for the remainder of his days in WCW.

On the May 17, 2010 episode of *Monday Night Raw* from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Jones returned to WWE reprising his **Virgil** bodyguard character, this time with Ted DiBiase, Jr.. He carried out all of his old actions, such as holding the ropes open for DiBiase and bringing him a microphone when asked. On the June 14 episode of *Raw*, Virgil and DiBiase were in a tag team match against Big Show and *Raw* guest host Mark Feuerstein. After Virgil got pinned and lost the match, DiBiase stuffed a $100 bill in Virgil's mouth and walked out on him. The following week DiBiase first apologized to Virgil, but then fired him and replaced him with Maryse.

Virgil appeared on the "Old School" episode of *The Edge and Christian Show* on the WWE Network in 2016.
