Briefcase Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have always wondered if there will ever be a day where the WWE is no more or whether they will always be around now that they've survived the monday night wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I wasn't alluding to any promotions, just that time will tell whether people stick to their "not watching anymore if ________ happens" grandstands. They usually don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted July 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2015 I gave WWE 3 months off after Wrestlemania, to be fair. Now I Â only watch Rusev and Lesnar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) You know this whole thing with Virgil lately? His embracing the 'Lonely Virgil sells his shit off a folding table at the side of the road' persona, Tweeting about how much money he makes and how big his cock is (14.5 inches; a full inch above the world record), crazy statements about being the biggest star ever, shooting a documentary about said shilling, and running a GoFundMe to have fans donate a million bucks to make him a millionare again? It all makes a ton more sense when you realise he's signed with the same PR/comedy writer brothers that did the exact same thing with Iron Sheik and his gimmick. They're the ones sockpuppeting Sheiky's Twitter account, and now they're trying to make Virgil an ironic star the same way, based off of the success of the Lonely Virgil meme. Â Keep an eye out for it. They're really working hard at getting it over. Edited July 23, 2015 by Astro Hollywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) It wont work. When the Iron Sheik got so over, Howard Stern began having him on regularly. So you had a big audience behind Team Sheik. Virgil is just an odd ball who people take the piss out of. His appeal doesnt go as far as people wanting to even see him in real life. He's a real weirdo by all accounts. That lonely Virgil account was created as a way to rip the piss out of him for being a sad act. Not because of some ironic gag they hoped Virgil was in on.

DCW Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 What did they really achieve with the sheik stuff? surely when the time came for him to actually appear on something the whole thing just fell on its arse? just seems like a waste of time to me. Â I don't get all this twitter shite in fairness though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Virgil tried jokingly mugging CM Punk off on Twitter. Â CM Punk just called him a cunt. Â It was quite a tragic little exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted July 23, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted July 23, 2015 CM Punk called Virgil a cunt on Twitter earlier. Made me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 23, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2015 Virgil's kickstarter, which has been shared 10,000 times on FB, and been running for 23 days, has raised $165 so far. So, probably not going to hit that million. Sheiky is a genuinely interesting character, but there's a ceiling with how far you can take it, because he's so legitimately fucked up on drugs all the time, he's completely incomprehensible, and couldn't be trusted in a proper television environment. Virgil though, is just a dullard. Stories about him harrassing people at cons to buy his shitty merch are hilarious, but ghostwritten tweets about earning dat fuck-money, and waving around his three feet cock, not so much.

DJM Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 On the subject of Virgil, I had to laugh at this tweet he send out after (during?) Raw this week:   Sasha Banks. Let me know if you need any assistance learning the biz.

Guest Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Didn't Virgil recently set up a Gofundme page that was basically like "you all remember me, Virgil from the wrestling. I was just sitting here thinking it would be really quite good if I was a millionaire, so please give whatever you can spare" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
