@Danny H Not everyone does well opening up to the world and staring down the lense of a camera Yeah it’s entirely possible and even likely that he’ll slip up and find himself back in the cycle of alcohol and pills, but at least give him a chance to succeed before jumping out and calling him a liar If there’s anyone that can spot a dude that’s high AF just by looking at them, it’s DDP; Dallas wouldn’t upload this if he thought Bagwell was pulling a swerve on him How many years/decades was Buff in this spiral before taking his situation seriously… he seems genuinely excited at a legit chance to prove something to himself I’m sure Dallas will post a “setback update video” if Marcus falls off the wagon (just like he did with Jake and Scott) so you can say you called it from the start Navigating addiction of any kind is a miserable experience until you recognize the possibilities again, then you (hopefully) are excited about life again; at least for 10 minutes, let’s take that approach Besides, he kept moving his focus to his right (left side of screen) so I’m 99% certain that someone was there in the room with him for support, which goes a long way to make sense of his moving eyes

Hey buff I hope you see this. My dad is a drug addict. Growing up I had a hard time. My step mom was HR at a company you came to sign autographs for. I wasn’t able to go because it was in another state but you signed an autograph for me. I want you to know it meant a lot to me and helped me get through some of the darkest times of my life. Something so small meant so much to me. I pray that you get through this. You where one of my favorites in WCW. Thank you for taking the time to sign the autograph that day.

I'm proud of you Buff. I have been sober since April from pain killers. We can do this.

I couldn't click on the play button any faster! Saw the name and immediately thought "OH! This makes me happy!" Great seeing/hearing you're doing well. DAMN! Today's a good day.

Everyone calls him Buff but it’s great to see Marcus Bagwell, the man behind the character, is doing better. Marcus looks much better here than he has in years and he seems more lucid so it looks like he’s clean. The main encouraging sign is Bagwell is admitting he has a problem and he’s seeking the help he needs. It takes a big man with strength of character to admit that and then walk the walk. I hope he overcomes his addiction and can enjoy his life.

Marcus 'Buff' Bagwell was a big part of my life back in the day. I only started lifting because of him. Praying and hoping for you brother. You made many people feel good by entertaining them. It is now your time to feel good

My brother I’m so proud of you keep moving forward you got this beat. You have thousands of us behind you we got your back. Stay strong bro and keep fighting never stop.

You're an OUTSTANDING athlete and entertainer. Respect is earned! You have two generations of fans in this household. Thankyou, sir.

Sending best wishes from Manchester England. When I was a kid I remember Buff Bagwell looking like a superhero on screen, I know there were many other kids who looked up to Buff the same way. The human brain can't possibly comprehend millions of strangers globally rooting for you, but just because you can't see us doesn't mean were not.

Positive change can have its ups and downs. Hopefully Marcus can keep going up. Sounds like he absolutely has the right mindset.

Buff, you look and you sound better than you have in years and years. Phenomenal work, brother. DDP is a treasure.

Dallas, thank you for everything you do. Helping these guys out with the kindness of your heart. My childhood heroes have lived longer lives due to your program.

Buff looks great. I've met BUFF a few times over the years, and each and every time , he was very nice to myself and each and every single person that he interacted with.

I was always a fan of DDP growing up, but was never quite sure why. Now, so many years later, it's clear as day-he's a fantastic human being (not to mention his in-ring ability). Keep at it Dallas. You're an absolute inspiration.

Seeing all the positive vibes in the comment section gives me hope for the future. One day at a time Marcus, you got this.

So glad to hear Buff is doing well. This makes me wonder what is being done for the people who are currently active wrestlers to proactively ensure that this doesn't become part of their lives later down the road.

I’m glad you put this out and you are doing better! And thank you to ddp for all the positivity! RIP Scott Hall

This is awesome to hear. Congratulations on 33 days sober. I remember watching you in WCW growing up. Keep it going. You can do it. And I’m sure you have a lot of support. When times get rough, use your resources.

Wow ! Buff sounds great ! Most clear-minded and well spoken I have heard Buff in decades. Great job !

Get well brother, you have a lot of people that care about you.

Thank you for this. My last drink was on May 25 2022. That's longer than I have ever been without in 30 years. I wasn't going to workout today because I was tired. But after watching this, I decided it was laziness instead and exercised. Thanks for the uplifting recovery message.

Keep fighting, bro ... we lost way too many good guys along the way. You're doing a great job and we are all standing beside and behind you. You maybe fight for yourself, but never alone ...

Man you seem much clearer! Went through the same shit its so not easy and some people dont quite get that. Been following you since the 90s brother. For what it's worth you'll always be the stuff in my book. Keep trucking brother 🙏 💪

This hit me straight in the heart. 3:09 and on resonated so much with what I've gone through and are going through currently. Addiction is the devil..Love you Marc. Been watching you since your rookie year. Handsome Stranger, all of that. Knew you were a special performer right off the bat. Keep pushing.🙏

Thanks DDP for the update. Good on you Marcus! You are Buff and you have the stuff! Keep it up!

Good job brother . I'm 10 months on October 15th after 20 year addiction and feel great . I wish u the best and look forward to seeing u helping. If we help and save 1 life then it was all worth it in my opinion

As a fan from wcw I just wanted to say much love and respect to you, especially for being this open about your current journey. Stay strong and keep going through it and you will get to where you need and want to be

We love you, Marcus. Prayers and well wishes for continued recovery. It's great to hear you clean and sober. Listen this back to yourself and see how wonderful and intelligent you are this way!!

Congrats bro. Release the shackles and be free. The hustle is exhausting and that lowest point always gets lower with every relapse. I’m coming up on 3 years clean and sober and just about to turn 54. I kinda relish my daily aches and pains as battle scars in a war I’m still fighting but still winning. Stay surrounded by sober support. Don’t be alone. As soon as you start making excuses to be alone BE AWARE!!

Love how open he is about this. I think fans in the same situation will take inspiration from this. Keep up the fight Buff.

Thank you for sharing this with us! Thank you for expressing your hardship. Please CONTINUE to share with us how you’re doing because we love you man. Never forget who you are, “You’re Buff and you’re the stuff!”

Awesome, good for him! His voice is a crystal clear indicator that he is clean.

This is so true, it’s good to see Buff recognized what was going on wanted to change, I have the upmost respect for him and anybody who does this in their life. Props big guy

You can do it Marc you really sound like your ready and finally accepted it. Life is so much better not sitting on the phone spending all your money searching for pills worrying about going through withdrawals. I have been clean since 10-25-18 off of pain pills and my life and family life are better than they ever have been. It was the hardest thing I've ever gone through but the best thing also.

I'm SO proud of you bro. Just take it one day and one step at a time like everyone said. Look at how far you've come since you hooked up with DDP having him help you with your addiction. Just the fact that you accepted his help speaks VOLUMES about whether or not you really want this. Clearly you do. Keep your head up bro and keep fighting this, you're young you're only 52, you've got your whole life ahead of you.

Me and my mother picked up Marcus from the airport for a UWC show (Moms boyfriend wrestled there) and hung out with him all day and through out until that night. I was high, mom was high, Marcus was high.. I won't divulge that whole story because it's private. I was 15 at the time. I'm now 32 and I've been to 20 detox centers and 17 rehab centers since. Stayed clean a few weeks here and there and started pills again. Now I take kratom and nothing else. I still take a xanax occasionally. I don't know if I'll ever defeat my demons... But I'm extremely happy mark is doing better and you look great. Now the phrase "Buff is the Stuff" is truly accurate. I'm sure Buff doesn't even remember me or that show...

When I was a kid I watched WCW all the time. Loved seeing you wrestle. Loved the Block-buster finisher. You had the best ring attire, boots airbrushed tights and the top hat. You go Buff Daddy! Keep going strong.

Thank you. I was a fan when I was younger. Being a struggling alcoholic and addict myself, I know how hard this can be. I had 9 years of sobriety and went back out. Everyday is a battle, and some days I don’t win. But every losing the battle doesn’t mean that the war is over. Again, thank you.

I love this - but didn’t DDP say he fell off the wagon like 2 weeks ago?
