Marcus Bagwell Addresses Recent Arrest and Sobriety Update November 2023
Ойын-сауық
Despite some recent news reports, Marcus has been doing well on his walk of sobriety! He has had a few violations in the DUI Drug Court program which can result in community service or jail time, but these violations are not due to a drug or alcohol relapse. His update discusses this in more detail and the parts of his journey that he's struggled with after 15 months of sobriety.
We at DDPY continue to be proud of his sobriety and all the work he's putting in on becoming a better person!
This update was filmed one day prior to his court hearing (11/15/23) so his punishment was unknown at the time -- he has since served 24 hours this past week for his DUI court sanction and is back focused on completing his DUI court responsibilities.

I am so happy for you man. You’re looking sooo good and clear headed. 10+ years from heroin here… a day at a time is all we have. It’s all ANYONE has. We’re just keenly aware of it.

Bro just got arrested for DUI yesterday. Lol
Marcus. I began drinking when I was 13 years old. By 21 years old I was in more than 10 detoxes.. It was so freaking hard to quit because I was at the partying age and socializing was all part of being a teenager.. I almost died on 40 klonopins and Vodka. I was hardly alive. Now, im 59 years old and I havent drank in 30 something years. I thought there was no way I can go throw life feeling normal. ( my interpretation of normal ) . Brother, It really does get easier, The longer you stay away. I'm actually glad you are on youtube explaining yourself. This tells others that you really care how your percieved and thats a good thing although You don't have to proove anything to anyone except yourself. I am wishing you the best Buff, You can do it. DONT STOP TRYING.. Thank you DDP for making a difference in peoples lives. That is much more memorable than being a wrestling star. God bless.
He looks and sounds so clear. Good for you, Buff!!!
13,567 days sober by the grace of God. Keep living one day at a time

And also by your hard work and dedication and you deserve the same recognition as the guy above.
Way to go Buff! It's great to see such an amazing milestone.
I appreciate his talking about the relation between being sober and then having to deal with emotions and stress. Happily I haven’t had substance issues, but stress and emotions are a challenge. Thanks for sharing!
Around 1997 or 1998, I visited Six Flags over Georgia. Standing in line for one of the roller coasters, I could hardly believe my eyes. I walked up to the behemoth of a man ahead of me in line and said, "Excuse me, sir. Are you Marcus 'Buff' Bagwell?" He said he was and signed whatever scrap of paper I managed to find at the moment. I had purchased the pen only a few minutes earlier in the Six Flags gift shop because I had seen Sergeant Craig "the Pitbull" Pitman walking nearby. I managed to get his autograph, then "Buff's." Needless to say, I was on cloud nine. Glad to see the successes these guys are having with Steve and DDP's support. I was a big fan of Page back in the WCW days (even before the championship run), but I daresay I'm an even greater fan of his "post-wrestling" work and vocation.
Congratulations man! I love to see stories of people like you (especially wrestlers whom I watched and rooted for though out their careers) getting their lives back together and DDP is an awesome guy for helping.
Keep going it’s inspirational how you keep going and staying sober despite the setbacks in life it motivates me to keep up with my own sobriety
Cheering you on. My hubby and I are praying for you. You got this. We have to do one day at a time w hubby having leukemia 11 yrs now and having had kidney cancer surgery 2020 then adrenal surgery this summer. I had two uncles that lived w us that my mom loved through and supported them. They were both successful. My uncles both had such great outcomes. Both had DUIs and one went through a convelesent hospital brick sidewalk wall. Miracle no one got hurt. You can get through this buddy. We can pray for each other..this has been a rough time w my hubby being laid off at Baker Hughes two yrs into treatment w his surgeries. You are A winner, you are a success. You can make it and you can do it. I lived w an Italian daddy..I know DDP is cheering you on and all of us are too. Im cheering my hubby on to get The DVDs to be able to exercise. Remember we got your back in prayers. We are your village. I know what it is like seeing my uncles grow through it. DDP is too such an inspiration to all of us here :). Know you got people pulling for you here like me and my hubby.

So happy for you, NEVER give up on yourself. You made a very powerful and insightful video that should help almost everyone who views it !!!
Glad I found this video! Good stuff, Buff! Keep it up!
Best you've looked since the 90s brother I'm so happy for you! Been a huge fan since I was a kid. Keep pushing man.👊

You are an inspiration to so many..I really love the fact that you are really able to see life through a clear mind now..Good on you!!!
So glad for you, and to be that honest about it, that takes balls to do. Keep it up and be positive.
Absolutely one of the best people I got to meet down at the PC in May. So incredibly excited for Marcus and excited for where he is now able to reach! Progress, not Perfection: from an Al-Anon supporter ❤
I’ve been watching you on TV since you started in WCW. I am so glad that you went to DDP. I am so proud of you!
I’m proud of you Marcus. Keep up the good work
AWESOME!
Thoughts n prayers for you Buff! U got this. Keep ur head up n chest out with humility and confidence.
God damn he's looking well! New subscriber. Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Thank you, Buff, and thank you, DDPY
I've loved this fella for about 25 years. I had the opportunity to meet him when I was wrestling in Tupelo a few times and we got to talk a little bit and I'll never forget that. Keep going on and keep showing them what you can do. ❤
Keep up the great work Brother! Proud of you and rooting for you! You can do it💪💪💪
Buff - My birthday is in August. For my birthday Id love to hear that you have successfully made it another year brother. You got this.
Great work Mr. Bagwell!! Much Love!!
AWESOME ! CONGRADS ! loved your years in WCW .. Keep Rockn
Good for you man. Motivating story.
Congratulations Marcus, keep it up brother. There are a lot of people who are rooting for you and love you. 🤙 Take care and God bless 🙏
Buffs Story reminds me of my dads addiction. Im so happy to hear hes getting help. I wish my father did that.
Buff, keep up the GREAT work man! I know from experience that the temper thing can be a real buzzard, but I too, conquered that, as I know you have the ability too as well. The first step is to think before you act instead of just reacting. That's when you realize what you've been seeing in retrospect, and instead of saying "I COULD have handled things better" you'll be able to say "I COULDN'T have handled things any better". Hang in there, we're cheering for you!
You are such an inspiration to me, Buff!
Good to hear Marcus, keep up the good effort. I met you at comic con this past October 2023. I have a name u never seen spelt that way. Happy thanks giving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you too Macus. I'll personally congratulate u at comic con 2024. Always love hearing stories about how people on your side see things. I'm considered a lame in some circles but I don't care what people think. I function and live for myself or if I don't nobody is there to pick me up. Been like that since I was very young.
buff been a fan since the wcw /nWo you being sober is an incredible journey. you helping out your old pal scotty riggs shows you may of found a calling to help people. wishing ya the best
I hope that Marcus knows how many people are pulling for him. Him knowing that he's got a temper that is stealing his happiness is half the battle.
You're in great shape, and doing great Buff!! Hang in there brother!!! ✌🏾❤️
Uncle Buff, you're still the stuff big man. Huge congrats on your sobriety. God bless you and DDP

He just explained how that was a class violation and not another dui
Congratulations!! I just watched your Transformation video on DDPY yesterday and how you saved SCOTTY’s life. I just finished reading an article about OVERCOMING SUGAR/FOOD ADDICTION and how it’s the exact same process for getting clean from Drugs and Alcohol. There’s just less stigma because it’s FOOD and it’s available EVERYWHERE. I started a Carnivore Diet on March 15, 2023 after discovering that I weighed 528 lbs. I lost 63 lbs in the first 4 months without even trying, but then I hit a plateau and I was only losing 3-5 lbs in a month. Then my 50th Birthday arrived and I decided to have Cake and Ice Cream, and I ended up relapsing over the next 4 months. I got “sober” for most of December, and I gave myself permission to eat cookies, and candy, and mashed potatoes, corn, and stuffing over 3 days during Christmas. I unknowingly gained 20 lbs in January after adding a daily Protein Shake Smoothie into my diet. I’ve been eating mostly clean again for the last 2 weeks, except I have allowed myself to have 2 CHEAT DAYS per week. I just recommitted fully to the CARNIVORE DIET and for the next 30 Days I am going to do OMAD - Eat One Meal A Day and avoid carbs and sugar completely. Today is DAY 3.
I can tell by seeing you recently doing some wrestling and this video here that you've cleaned up. You look great man, congratulations on everything you have done. Thank you to DDP as well for everything you've done and do for other people.
BUFF UR STILL THE STUFF!!! Stay strong! 💪🏻
All the best to you, Bags ! Keep Stompin' !
I love seeing my heroes out there just doing life. Super proud of you dude.
Awesome to hear. Rooting for you MB.
Congrats Buff, Keep taking it one day at a time! The best is yet to come!
You're The Man Buff
You are an inspiration Buff. Congratulations man.
Marcus, I'm so proud of you . when I interviewed you at LPW show a year ago you were still accepting all this. I see a different you now. Keep it up and congrats on your sobriety. ❤❤🎉❤
That’s awesome and so glad you are clean
Great job proud of you!!!!!
WTG, Marcus! (Buff) 😋👍 It looks like you're pointed the right way. You *can* overcome! We're praying for you, mate! Stick with Page; and you'll feel the love of true friendship. Never forget: It's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up, that's the measure of who you are. God bless Diamond Dallas Page and everyone who works with him to help others. You all make the world a beautiful place to be.
Keep.up the great work Sir
Great kudos for Buff! Is not easy for admit our mistakes and get over it! Much blessings and recovery for Mr Bagwell!
Never been an addict. Never respected addicts who continually abusing. Do respect recovery and going clean very much. Can't imagine how hard it is to break addiction and become a better human being. Keep up the struggle and win the battle. Its important to show others it can be done.
Congratulations Buff
I am so happy for you both, you have been in my prayers brother. I had the pleasure of working with buff for 3 years in LAW. I have a lot of love for this guy. -Victor
Congrats buff keep it up man and live it at 90%
Still Buff, still The Stuff!! My dude you look amazing - you ARE amazing, thankyou for being you and well done for every single accomplishment! You got this man, and I'll always be cheering for you
Congratulations Buff 🔥 keep pushing
Buff is the stuff...keep up the good work!!!
Wow it's crazy I met you back in probably 2007 you worked a show in Ardmore Oklahoma it was a pleasure you were kind to me I was just somebody nobody trying to make it your strength to overcome what you have is awesome I like your story I'm a big fan now!
Great job! Keep it up! My Dad died from alcohol related diementia. He tried rehab 6 times but sadly never got away from it until he had to go into a "home" because he wouldn't stop. My mother was dealing with health problems and just couldn't look after him any longer. His mind was already going by then. It was a tough decision, but my Mom and I agreed it would be better for my Dad to be placed in a "home" Stay safe stay sober
happy you are on the right track with the right people.Best wishes for a good and happy life Marcus
Great job Buff
Congratulations Buff! You got this. 💙
Love ya Stuff 💪❤️ God Bless

Buff bagwell is a legend.. props to him making positive changes, recognizing his issues and owning up. He’s crushing in sobriety. Hell yeah, man. Good dude.
Remember meeting this dude at Hara Arena which is in Dayton, Ohio. It’s now closed and was closed before the tornado tore it apart, but nothing is cooler when your a 7-8 year old with your 6-7 brother with you and he signed my Nike hat and 8 X 10! Hope you continue your journey!
Good work, buff. 7 years myself. Keep it up big dawg. It's all about the click bait bro. We're pulling for ya. My temper is exactly the same.
I hope he's tied into this video. Hey man, we love you man! Very proud of your accountability & progress! Your the man for that dude! Now that is the stuff buff 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿!
