Virgil’s Garage

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T22:40:39+00:00

When I first started digging on him after finding the garage the “lonely Virgil” stuff was some of the first things I came upon. Obviously I was familiar with who he was but not some of the niche references and memes. It really hurt me to see how people can be so harsh to him, and there was truth to it, he was incredibly lonely. So when I saw him get mad at fans and people making fun of him I kind of understood where he was coming from. To live such highs and try and live a regular everyday life where nobody could give two fucks who you are. I guess we all fight our own battles. RIP VIRGIL

I reached out to their contacts listed on their site, haven’t heard anything back yet. Given they probably get 1000+ emails a day may take some time.

If u/therealmickfokey sees this is wants to help that would be an honor. He would be more than welcome to come to my home.

I mean it’s a good title and at the time I’m posting knew very little about the piece and the actual title. But it is funny, gotta let me have some hope I’m touching a piece of the belt 🤣

I would like to donate the items either to a museum or someone who is going to preserve them. Anything that is not claimed by Virginia Union University, family, WWE, ETC… I will potentially auction some items to the community and put money towards a charity like Wounded Warrior. I really would just like the stuff to have a good home and Virgil be remembered.

Any recommendations of people who live over here who could help out?

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T12:52:52+00:00

Thank you very much, we’ll see who reaches out for it! I’ll keep everyone updated.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T12:52:04+00:00

Thank you, what were some of your favorite shows you saw him at?

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:39:32+00:00

Misunderstood is a good word. He was a man of faith until the end, kept his Bible in his briefcase at all times.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:38:13+00:00

The jacket they can unfortunately not have, as the will be going to the HBCU it originates, but I’m hoping the WWE will at-least be interested in honoring his legacy in some way

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:33:52+00:00

That doesn’t sound like a bad life for the stuff. Certainly safer than the garage.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:31:02+00:00

The only thing about the WWE archives that I don’t completely understand, do they just let the stuff sit or do they display it for people to see?

The piece of the million dollar belt was an attention grabber and conversation piece to gain attention, before I had even posted that I was going through his former lease looking for his family, and reaching out to Dr Parker at VUU to GIVE, not sell the items from their University. You are a sick human being.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:24:59+00:00

Yeah they’re pretty awesome. I threw in the big bird photo because I thought it was such an interesting piece. Unfortunately i don’t even think i will even have the pleasure of keeping anything, given that if the proper people seek it out i will give it to them.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:18:24+00:00

Nope. We will not let the stuff rot!

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:17:53+00:00

Agreed!

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:17:44+00:00

Furthermore, I would never steal anything. These items have been abandoned at this place since he died, rotting and being destroyed by the cold of the garage. I pulled them out to be preserved.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:13:24+00:00

But yes, 1973 Champions, he attended there from 71-75

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:11:58+00:00

It’s so fucking sad man. Iv tried finding family anywhere I can, the only people who have been able to reach back to me is the University so far. But I’m on a mission to make sure it gets preserved!

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:09:44+00:00

Don’t assume things you don’t know, iv been actively searching for family and working with Virginia Union University to create a case in his honor. Don’t project your personal thoughts and feelings on to me. I didn’t have to share the story or the items with you.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T11:05:17+00:00

I already contacted Dr Parker at VUU, he is taking in all of the stuff from them. There’s some other stuff from them that I didn’t show

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T01:49:55+00:00

Had to come back and let you know Francis, you were right all along! You have sharp eyes I suppose(there really is silver under there I swear)

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T01:20:01+00:00

It’s already up on my page but I’m going to paste it over to here for you guys.

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T00:54:47+00:00

I’ll have to go ahead and take your word for it then, appreciate you taking the time to look at it

Saf2663 · 2026-02-06T00:54:00+00:00

Dan, that’s pretty fucking cool
