[3Rivers]

She said I know him and his family. Went to school with him. Me and my brother was of course Started peppering her with mad questions about how cool he was in school etc. she immediately dismissed us and said he was a fukking weirdo in high school but she is glad he finally doing well now. I was like oh shyt

I got an older cousin that graduated from Wilkinsburg in the 70s that said the same thing about him. Straight up had the face when talking about him. Both my parents and their siblings went to Westinghouse.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. When my moms called him a “fukking weirdo” her face was As she recollected how he was when she was growing up. That tells me he must have been that one off nikka in the neighborhood

Hell your family probably knows mine in the area.

Probably. I swear everyone that grew up in that area in that era knows each other or knows someone who knows someone

Sad to say back then there was a real community. It was all black but it was working class black people. If they know the Robinson’s who stayed off of Hunter then they know my family.

I used to spend summers in Wilkinsburg at my cousins house. Stayed right next to Hunter Park. Had hella good times. Caught a few L’s cause they all considered me a square from Monroeville. But it was great times

Can y'all explain the Olive Garden & meatsauce references in this thread? I never heard of this "Lonely Virgil" dude until within the last couple weeks.

May the meat sauce be bountiful and the fukk money endless.

Damn.

I never saw him in Times Square/GCS but definitely grew up watching him in the WWF. Him, Koko B Ware , JYD (RIP) and later Bad News Brown were some of the few black wrestlers I remember. All superstars and fan favorites.

Had no idea dude was fighting cancer.

RIP to a rasslin' legend
