WWE legend Virgil asks fans for donations after revealing colon cancer diagnosis

Former wrestling fan favourite Virgil has appealed for help from fans after being diagnosed with colon cancer.

The American star, 59, went down in WWF [now WWE ] folklore for his stint as bodyguard for the 'Million Dollar Man', Ted DiBiase. After years of being humiliated by his boss, he famously turned on him at the 1991 Royal Rumble, hitting him with his own Million Dollar title belt.

He also received a shot at Bret Hart's World Heavyweight title in 1992, losing via submission. He was eventually released from the company two years later, and went on to have a four-year stint in WCW.
