It was a generic match, nothing to be fired for...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km9PPOs2_I8
>>16574545The Generic Freak Buff Bagwell simply didn't belong.
>>16574545Bagwell was fired for getting in a fight with Shane Helms.
Buff was unironically fired because his manager was his mom and that made him seem unserious
no homo but Buff was always my guy no diddy (pause)
>>16574545If they really wanted to Buff could have been the big heat magnet of the Invasion, having him wrestle other WCW guys was a mistake. Should have been acting like a chickenshit cocky heel with The Rock.
>>16574545Those photoshopped titles on Booker kek
>Could have just let Buff do his gimmick>Do what >>16574592 suggested>Nope, strip him of what worked because Vince didn't get why he was over in the first place or he did get it and didn't go with it out of spite
>>16574545I enjoyed the WCW/RAW esthetic here
>>16574545based match
It wasn't the match. People backstage already had preconceived notions about him already. And were just waiting for something to jump on Buff about.
very stupid considering they were desperate for big name wcw guys in the invasion. buff wasn't a main eventer but he was a genuine big name wcw guy who everybody knew
>Zoomer>Always reading about how shit Bagwell was>See a good amount of his matches and promos>He's good in the ring and decent on the micI just don't get it. The only explanation is he must've been a huge pain in the ass backstage.
>>16577239i hated him as a little Jimmy, but that was just him doing his job well
>>16574592Buff Bagwell should unironically have been Undertaker's wife's stalker.>Prepares to unmask all moody>BUFF! DADDY!>Buff starts dancing and posing like a retard>Buff insists he's The Stuff and Sara must want him>Buff's mom comes in as his manager and insists her son is the most handsome man alive and Taker's wife must want him>Fuck it can make Buff's mom a bit OTT with it satisfy Vince's fetish>Taker keeps wrecking Buff>Buff keeps going >Taker tombstones Judy Bagwell>Buff and wheelchair Judy bother idk, Steve Blackman>Meanwhile DDP can actually feud with The Rock>>16577239Revisionism and Buff having literally no friends backstage/left in the business in a position of influence after 2001. He was a perfectly hateable lower mid career/midcarder and tag guy.
Buff got fired because they knew he was going to get over and they didn’t want him to. Booker t hurt stone cold and still didn’t get fired
>>16574545amazing match
