Who is Buff Bagwell?

Buff Bagwell, a.k.a “Buff The Stuff” is a five-time WCW tag-team champion. He was apart of the historic New World Order (nWo) and an overall fan favorite with his on-stage persona in both WCW and now WWE. He competed with the companies for ten years, 1991 through 2001.

WWE eventually purchased WCW while Bagwell was under contract. Owner Vince McMahon kept him on. His first televised RAW match was also his last. He fought against Booker T and the match is known as one of the most awkward in pro wrestling history. Soon after, he was released from his contract.

He later went onto wrestle in TNA and in Indianapolis before retiring in 2017 at the age of 48.

Buff’s Previous Car Crash

In 2012, Bagwell was involved in another serious car crash. According to reports, Bagwell called his wife at 1:30 PM and told her that he was about to have a seizure. He flipped his Jeep after hitting the median and was removed from the vehicle by first responders.

He suffered from broken bones in his neck, broken bones in his face, and a broken jaw.
