Virgil died today. He inspired me in a way. Whenever I have to go to some sort of meeting that I don't want to go to, I keep my mouth shut and keep a straight face and think of Virgil, hoping that my lack of words will make the meeting end faster.
Proud
Absolutely not at all a weird flex…loved this
i love how Virgil stays in character and don't even flinch.
He's getting paid to , wouldn't you ??
I don't understand how Virgil did this with a straight face, lol. Also the VHS messing up brings back memories. Lol
He signed up to do it. He knew the story line and that staying it ment his career. It was a hated role. But it made him rich. In other words. He had a price and he went for it.
I love the scan lines!
@@itsjustnopinionok Virgil is rich? Why was he at these conventions back in the mid 2010's with those "lonely Virgil" memes?
I'm just shocked when the tape came back it didn't make the voice go fast lol yell
@@rlouie05 He was paid good. Bad for like wrestlers I guess.
This is why Arsenio should be in the WWE hall of fame. He was a wrestling fan and understood what was going on unlike practically all of the other host who invited wrestlers on their show. He almost made Virgil laugh and break character 6:24
It would open a can of worms with the steroid denial by Hogan which nearly broke the company. Having said that, yeah he should be in the hof.
I have never really been a fan of Arsenio, but I agree with you 100% here. He was great at bringing wrestlers onto his show, knowing what was going on with them and letting them show their personalities.
@@ddt99 the ultimate warrior scared Arsenio lol
Back then you stayed in character
david bond yup rite
Kayfabe
PEWDEL PRIME Back then, as you and I know, Kayfabe was to be strictly protected and enforced at all times! Today, Kayfabe is pretty much dead and gone. When Kayfabe died, so did the mystique of wrestling. Now, wrestling (or, should I say, "Sports Entertainment"), is a joke, and it's a horrible joke at that! 4 wrestlers began the destruction of Kayfabe. Shawn Michaels, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, & Triple H. The curtain call at Madison Square Garden in 1996, where all 4 were in a steel cage, hugging & showing comraderie, is the incident that started the destruction of the house of cards known as Kayfabe. True wrestling is no more. I weep for the future of wrestling...oops! (I meant "Sports Entertainment")!!!
Ronald Shank in
@@ronaldshank7589 I agree
Ted Dibiase has such an awesome voice
That cynical laugh too. He had a real charm as a bad guy....
He actually does!
@@jasonchandler2463 Captain Obvious on deck. Room tench-HUT!!!!
His birth father was a professional singer
@@Mp25DIII
Really?
Cool
Dibiase doesn't get enough credit. He's gotta be in the top five greatest heels in the history of wrestling, if not THE greatest.
Amen to that!!!! Always loved him as a heel
so awkward He is a preacher now.
I don't know about that but he is a real preacher now.
I'm not sure about that but he was a great hand in the ring and unique gimmick
+so awkward he was one of a kind, i don't know why vince McMahn didn't give him a push to be WWF Champion that would've been good , but oh no can't take the belt from hogan
Man Virgil was so good at staying in character. He didn't smile once or even come close to breaking character.
Rest peacefully, Mike "Virgil" Jones (1962-2024)
Dibiase is amazing here...he's totally in character...i loved when the boys came on arseino - he let them kayfabe and it's awesome.
Dibiase is one of the most flawless heels of all time.
Piper was the number one heel.
Arsenio for WWE Celebrity HOF... he did so much for WWE back on the day
did so much for WWF!!!
Travis Greer you know what? I never thought about that but it is so true what you said. He had everyone on back then for Vince.
May as well put Robert Loggia in as well
@@grawakendream8980 the guy from Scarface?
Damn he's not in? Yell
Virgil probably tried to get Robert Loggia and Arsenio to buy autographed pictures afterwards.
Na'ah...he had plenty of Meat Sauce and breadstick money back then.
Virgil never spoke a word. Did he ever speak?
sad but harsh reality.
For a tenner, no doubt
thatonedrewguy gota get that f*ck money!
Ted was definitely one of the greatest heels of all time
Rest in Peace Virgil 🕊️✝️
Plays Monopoly with real cash. Love It.
Dibiase is such an underrated technical wrestler, plus he had that speaking ability and that character to go with it. One of the greatest indeed
I used to watch this stuff as a kid. I find it even more awesome now. Ted's great.
He often pinned the faces without cheating, too.
The 80's and 90's were lit. Plus the VHS cut ins/outs and the tracking were hilarious to see.
Arsenio has the best interviews with all of the WWF superstars back in the day. I remember taping all of them and watching over and over.
When arsenio said joke to Virgil u could tell Ted wanted to laugh
Good old VHS,i love it!
VHS was part of our early years.
A wrestler with actual acting skills. Those were amazing times.
10:07 when Dibiase and Virgil avoid shaking Arsenio's hand as they get up and walk away 🤣🤣 Love how they stayed in character.
I love how these guys stayed in character on his show and never broke kayfabe.
Million should have been the WWF champion.
*****, I would have loved seeing DiBiase defeating Warrior with some type of a surprise pin. He outsmarted Hit Man that way.
*****, boredom is the issue indeed. I no longer watch the program. Like many others, I prefer the older style as we see here on Arsenio's dynamite late-night show. Heels like Million were the best. I liked him much more than Hogan and Warrior and would have preferred seeing him defeating both for the belt.
*****, those heels earned a special place in wrestling history. Plus, I totally enjoyed seeing babyfaces who turned heel so wickedly. The Heartbreak Kid is one of many.
*****, at times there have been those heels who were so good at being bad that the fans just started loving them. When that happens, it's a good time to make them turn babyface. Demolition did so.
*****, it's all too true. That's why it seems too dull for me to keep watching it any longer. It's simply funner to watch these older matches here on youtube. I always enjoy the ones in which Hogan and Warrior get clobbered too easily by Taker. Now, if only they'd been tombstoned and pinned left and right, but their egos wouldn't let them ever do clean jobs like that.
If the cartoon clip bleeding through the old VHS recording was planned, it was genius. As a kid I had a VHS tape dubbed over so many times there was an episode of Ninja turtles with the audio from Cops.
Nothing like watching Ninja turtles and then a piece of Dad's old porn popping through
Arsenio always seemed to have a lot of fun with the WWF guys. His interviews with them were always entertaining.
Virgil played it to the hilt. Even with the Ben Johnson joke Arsenio used. This was one of the best interviews.
How? Arsenio made it awkward..
6:52 - "Are you married?" - " No, I am not"
(Ted forgets to take off his wedding ring prior to the interview.)
Holly crap, that was great acting by Dibiase there! Seriously. Dude was cool and badass too. Like a Lion.
R.I.P. Virgil.
I finally found out who tapped over my cartoon
Bwahahahahahahahaha
*taped
I love how these guys stayed in character during these interviews lol. Man I wish I was 5 again
Love how back then they stayed in character, and upheld kayfabe.
+Matthew Caligari So do I but I watched Dibiase's shoot interview (From RFVIdeo) and I really like how honest he is (even though I don't get why he treats Hogan like gold and treats Warrior like dirt).
yes kayfabe need to come back
Steven Dajuan
Kayfabe means getting into character, right?
+kenterminatedbygoogle staying in character no matter what*
Beejay da Gigolo
Oh, right.
Kinda like how Brian Pillman kayfabe the ECW fans.
That ending was awesome! I was cracking up!
I miss the kayfabe days. Even though I knew it was fake, the kayfabe made me forget half the time.
@RockMeAmadeus Yeah, just like a movie. I know Tom Cruise is not actually in any danger, but I still suspend disbelief and forget it's fake when I'm watching a movie. Can't do that anymore with wrestling.
actually credit to vince for believing in the gimmick and wnating it to be believable and giving him cash to use
It was the brainchild of Vince
Yeah and not having to show receipts he had $3000 on hand and was told to walk into restaurants and pay for everyone’s meals and things like that all in the name of kayfabe and all he had to do was tell Vince he spent x amount of money and Vince replenished it
dibiase, what a brilliant talker!
Ted Dibiase was an amazing wrestler and showman!
What is noticeable is how a wrestler from this era puts over their opponent. Something Cena could learn from
yes i liked it when ted dibiase praises the face wrestlers as being big and muscular
John Cena's not gonna put anybody over! At least not if he's healthy, and has a championship belt around his waist. Oops-hold up! He hasn't had a championship belt around his waist for quite awhile. Furthermore, the Undertaker squashed Cena in less than 4 minutes at Wrestlemania 34! Karma really has a way of comin' back atcha, doesn't it, John?
Live by his ways and you will be a success.
Ted Dibiase was so damn underrated! An absolute amazing heel!
He's also a super nice guy in person I met him back in 2016
MorganTyler86...Yes he is a very nice guy! That's cool you got to meet him recently...I met him at a Legends Of The Ring event in 2014, & I met him when I was a kid...backstage @ the Springfield Civic Center in Massachusetts where I'm from. It was 1989, they were there for a Saturday Nights Main Event taping, & Wrestling Challenge! That's back when kayfabe was still strong, especially with Virgil, he was miserable! Lol...
cool story. Another great legend to meet is Jim Duggan another guy that takes the time to talk to his fans
Rest In Power Mr. Mike Jones A.K.A. Virgil!💪🏽💵🪦
Back in the day, after a match, we were at a night club and my roommate and I went to a Denny's for breakfast with Jake the Snake Roberts and Ted DiBiase in Madison, Wisconsin. True story!
"in essence he would be my slave" with Virgil sitting next to him. hilarious
The 90’s were wild
@@cj7115 He's not racist. He's just playing a character. He had to stay in character or Vince McMahon would have probably fired him. Then both He and Virgil probably wouldn't have had jobs. The guy is an ordained Minister for crying out loud.
But he wasnt talking about virgil. He was takking about Hercules. At least use the while statement,.
Arsenio said some funny stuff, the fact that these guys kept a straight face was amazing.
This makes me smile
Arsenio Hall was awesome to have the wrestlers stay in character.
Man it had to be hard for Virgil to not break character and bust out laughing! I actually met him several years ago, and he seemed like a really nice guy.
Why does Virgil look like a cross between Don Cheadle and OJ Simpson if he was the Terminator.
Onkar Dogra 😂
Virgil about to bust out laughing lol.
1:53.... that's Robert Loggia!
R as in Robert Loggia
O as in oh my God! It's Robert Loggia
B as in By God, that's Robert Loggia!
E as in Everybody loves Robert Loggia
R as Robert Loggia
T as in Tim look over there! It's Robert Loggia
.. Space
L as in Look it's Robert Loggia!
Oh! What is that from? I know it, I just can't remember. Is it SNL or In Living Color? I think it may be from one of these.
family guy
geekrockrats Aaah! I remember now!
Lol
Who in the blue hell is Robert loggia?
You have to hand it to these guys for staying in character,they are pretty funny!!
Arsenio hall show was epic in the 80s and 90s. It was sweet to watch in that day.
Robert Loggia! Ted Dibiase! And Arsenio 'friggin' Hall all on the same stage? Death i'm ready now. It's been a great life.
Damn Ted was in good shape back in the day
Lmao "You sang with the Pips". Even Ted Dibiase wanted to laugh at that one but held it in.
Haha he was holding it in real bad
DiBiase was phenomenal in character. I hated his guts Thats the mark of a true master of his craft
The VHS tracking is everything.
Ted Dibiasse's character HAS TO BE about Vince McMahon or shades of him. The whole 'I get what I want' attitude, from many interviews and people who have known Vince for a long time have said that 'You never say no to Vince'. So yeah, I can see it.
RIP Mike 'Virgil/Vincent' Jones
You finally had your revenge on the Million Dollar Man at Royal Rumble and beat him at Summer Slam at Madison Square Garden. You won the million dollar belt too! WHAT A MOMENT!! Thank you for our childhood and the great memories.
Virgil, the original Kanye West mean face!!!
Damien Holliday he actually looks like kanye
Lmao true
Ted DiBiase, one of the all-time great heels.
The money he is always with when he goes to the ring and wrestle. Virgil holds the money.
I was there! WWF Superstsrs taping. Where Dibiase kicked that basketball away from that kid. Little did everyone know is that after the show the kid was taken back stage and compensated for his loss.
Every damn thing about this was so perfect...
Rest in peace Virgil ❤❤
I remember watching this when it came on and I could not stop laughing. Especially when Arsenio screws with Virgil. All the credit in the world for Mike to not break character.
vince picked the right guy to portray 'the million dollar man' character. this ted dibiase guy is so great in his role! very articulate
Kayfabe at it's finest. Dibiase was one of the best heels ever, with Ric Flair and Honky Tonk man and Jake the Snake!
I still watch today, but my favourites eras were 87-91 and 96-99.
ted was a fucking great actor.
Virgil is a good bodyguard.
DVLH2 yup rite
DVLH2 he’s a slave 🤦♂️
Virgil didn't say a word
@@petelosoya4188 this whole segment was some racist shit
@@petelosoya4188 everybody is a slave who work for people.unless you are your own boss
Even drawing heat on Arsenio. Dude was a straight up megaheel.
Gotta love Ted(as Junkyard Dog would say)Desabeease.
Kids these days know nothing about the wonderful surprises VHS tapes brought
Arsenio is not a small guy, he's around 6'2" or so. DiBiase towered over him at least 3 inches. never got the impression Ted was that tall in the ring.
+Evander Smart Well, Dibiase's hair adds a couple inches to his height lol
MusicDude86 No, he was looking down on him
+Bitcoin Video University because all those wrestlers are HUGE, but next to each other its hard to notice. when you see them next to an average person, you can notice how massive they really are. Hulk Hogan and the ultimate Warrior were monster size.
Actually according to sources, Arsenio is 5'11, which isn't really small, just a smidge past average, and DiBiase is measured at 6'3
No, Arsenio is not 5' 11". He's had Randy Savage on, who wears boots all the time, and he towers over him. Randy was 5' 10"-11"
Every man has a price!
ArkOmen1 everybody's gotta pay
Everybody's got a price for The Million Dollar Man! GYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
he kept his character so well
This was pure gold
Virgil was jacked UP here. Abs through the shirt.
Virgil pocketed $20 from the Monopoly game.
Dibiase was very charismatic
In 1979, a new pro wrestling publication hit newsstands and magazine racks across the nation. It was Pro Wrestling Illustrated. When the first issue went to press, Ted DiBiase was ranked at #6 in what is now the WWE.
the bit of interference was so well timed
I had the pleasure & privilege to meet the million dollar man & I told him he was one of my favorite wrestlers back When I was a kid omg he was such a very very nice man & I have his autograph he is a very very down to earth guy . I asked him why he never had gotten a title shot & he said well I was better a villain & I loved doing it & I even got to make my own title how many wrestlers from back then can say they did that & omg he did the laugh I was like 😭😭😭 the nostalgia . I told him thank you so much & god bless you may god be with you & he said witch touched me he shook my hand & he said may god be with you as well & god bless you I was thank you I remembered he was a godly man but I tell you he was just awesome to meet
Where was this at?
Ciapha Gray Frank & sons in Orange County California look it up man frank & sons .com you can meet a bunch of old school wrestlers Bret heart , jake the snake , ric flair , Shawn Michaels etc it’s open only 2 days outa the week I think they changed it but yeah it’s also a collectors item Warehouse place with venders & stuff
One of the best characters of that time, Dibiase really knew how to sell it.
Arsenio was decades ahead of time.
Sheer coincidence..... watched this video immediately after watching a performance of Totos Rosanna!!!
Ted Dibiase was one of my heroes growing up. He had his own slave! His own SLAVE! He bought people! Bought anything he wanted! That ruled! Ted lived the gimmick and it was fantastic.
The his slave beat his ass Ala nat turnet👊🏿👊🏿👈🏿.
I so remember Dibiase offering a kid money for bouncing a ball and then kicking it away.
HAHAH the ending is PURE GOLD. hahah Play my song lol MAN THOSE WERE THE TIMES.
"People who thought Michael Jackson should be able to adjust the microphone without Eddie Murphy's assistance at the American Music Awards." I remember when that section in the audience had a different topic. My favorite was Jason Voorhies and "these are the people who think Freddy Krueger can whip Jason's ass."
Its amazing the amount of wrestlers he had on, maybe the best late night talk show host of all time that's right the greatest!!!
*Anyone notice the guy on the couch before them is the guy who played Frank Lopez in the movie Scarface.*
The video changing channels brought back many memories of ass whuppins from changing the recording of soap operas back in the day.
Lol I love the extra cartoon clip in the middle.
I Always liked dibiasi! He was awesome
What a difference from the man he is today.He reminded me of my nephew.Men put up a front so they don't get hurt.I'd love to hear Virgil's story.
dibiase was great. perfect in his role.
2:50 lol when you accidentally hit the record button on the VCR and panic.
and never realised how much virgil looks like Don Cheadle!
mufc1977 like a mirror lol
yourmother77 No no
