Very interesting Buffs opinion on WCW under Russo. Imagine if Vince Russo looked after the undercard/midcard, and Bischoff looked after the main event scene. Could have been money.

Buff is a good guy to his fans, that stuff matters bro.

Love Buff. Listening to this makes me realize when people say wrestlers are all about “egos” and “politics”. I think most of them are that way simply because their protecting their side of the business. If you got a guy like Buff who was red hot at the end of WCW lose to Big Vito (who I enjoyed seeing in the ring) devalues Buff’s character thus hurting the business. Anyone following me?

I agree with what Buff said, I think people got in Mcmahons ear and he got cold feet. And sabotaged the WCW angle. By having them wrestle in a anti WCW audience, and not having Booker T slap the fans hands like he always did, not having Buff do his entrance like he did in WCW and do his heel stuff. Then firing him 2 weeks later. Looking back it all kinda seems that way.

This buff and the current buff don't look like the same person

Buff was very talented and always entertaining. He got a bad shake in WWE and deserved way better. And if the reason why he was fired is because his match on Raw was so bad, why didn't Booker get fired too? It definitely seems like somebody in the WWE at the time had an agenda, and didn't want Bagwell there.

He actually was a good wrestler early in his career, during the early 90s. He lost his agility with steroid use. Then built his character more with the breakthrough of the attitude era in the late 90s. He would then rely more on his looks then his work in the ring.

Look at his latest videos. His voice is so raspy it’s very hard to understand him. It’s like tommy Morrison the pro boxer who was good looking and spoke normal then got hooked on drugs and his voice turned very raspy like an old man. Unrecognizable in about 10 years but buff is not on meth or hardcore drugs to our knowledge he’s just on painkillers that don’t cause any of those effects unless he was smoking meth or crack then it would make sense but he sounds terrible and truffles to talk. One part u can tell he’s heavily medicated but still doesn’t explain the severe voice change. Sad to see him fat and out of shape. He was just called out to fight and he didn’t do anything after he said he would. I’m sure in shape prime buff would of fought the guy but he was even losing his balance just standing there. I feel bad for him. To have a body like that to just give up is awful. I broke my back and I’m in great shape. I never give up. I hope he gets better and back in the gym. Ur in less pain when ur body is stronger and it’s helped me very day.
