Plus, they weren't far off that with his "Fortunate Son" schtick. He had the belt, the girl, the persona, hell, he even had Virgil.

There's your answer right there: he needed "A Virgil", not THE Virgil!

Seriously, though, he just became one of those guys WWE just stopped pushing- and right when they had him poised to enter a feud v. Danielson for the United States Championship. Didn't pull the trigger on that. And they also missed the boat on the resulting "losing everything" angle that Cody is now working so well. Would of been easy for them to make him "snap" in some way after his losing streak/losing the girl/looking disheveled thing, but he was never on TV enough for anyone to give a shit. That could have been turned into gold even with his "lack of charisma" if done right. Just seems they didn't even bother to do it at all.

People have that image so wrong. It's not that Virgil didn't have fans at that signing, it's that Virgil showed up early to prepare for all those fans.

Had no idea they aready attempted this... but how long did it last for?

A month and then he was back to his usual gig.

2 pages? How unnecessary.

He sucks. That's why.

The answer is that the guy has no charisma so therefore he is Rhodes' bitch, I would it would of been the other way round in the past but heck I was wrong.
