Finally, we are going to top this list off with one of the most ridiculous fundraising efforts ever heard of. Former WWE Superstar Virgil made a name for himself as the bodyguard for The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. While he did, in fact have a brief run as an in-ring competitor, Virgil was best known as the man in the corner for DiBiase.
Not long after his retirement in 2013, Virgil began virtual panhandling almost immediately. If you follow Virgil on Twitter, you have probably noticed his insatiable love for The Olive Garden. The key element of his hunger for endless pasta is his desire for his fans to pay for it.

Yes, he has been known to plead for his followers to give him money for a night out at The Olive Garden.
Lastly, his most outrageous attempt at raising funds is the GoFundMe account that Virgil has established. With a total goal of one million dollars, the headline reads “Help Virgil become the $1,000,000 Man.” While he is light-years away from his million dollar goal, there have been a few people who have donated to the cause.

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
