>Former WCW Superstar Buff Bagwell has disclosed that he lost his car and house because Vince McMahon paid him a much lower salary after buying out WCW. On Marcus Buff Bagwell YouTube channel, the former WCW star said he got only $3,365.38 per week from WWE. >"My Jag [car] payment was $1,700 a month, so everything, I mean, I knew already, but everything had to go. The car had to go. My house had to go. My house was $5,500 a month. It's all gone. I mean, pills and alcohol doubled instantly because of depression, man. Not quite yet because I wasn't fired yet, but I was depressed. I'm losing my house," Buff said.>Notably, Buff made $600,000 per year in WCW, while he was due to earn $175,000 per year in WWE.Thank God we have AEW nowadays
>>19445208And then he crashed his car into a phone booth and lost his leg
>>19445208really don't see why that match is considered badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km9PPOs2_I8
>>19445208>wahhh I didn't make enough money pretending to fight. Wahhhh. These mfs are never grateful for anything.
>>19445208If AEW was around back then, this loser would have signed. Declined to job and would have sat at home, paid for 2 years and he would have actually died then because he would have so much money that he would have to start doing better drugs to cope with being bored all day.
>>19445221Vince wanted to bury wcw. This was just an excuse to throw most of them out
>>19445221Buff already had heat backstage because he had his mom calling the office to get him time off and Shane Helms beat him up backstage and all the boys thought Buff was an asshole for starting that fight
most of these dumb fucks should have been set for life for how much they earned versus how little they had to do, of course most of them are just goofs and waste it all like I'm sure fagwell did
>>19445341Also the reason Shane Helms got a push in 2001 is because Austin wanted him to be on TV because he respected him for beating Buff Bagwell's ass, that's how much heat Buff had
>>19445208>$3,365.38 per week>not enoughWhy are wrestlers so retarded with money?
>>19445215actually, it was bathroom. he says he thanks god no one was in there during the accident because he might have killed someone if they were
>>19445221Bagwell was fired for losing to Shane Helms despite being a roided up gimp twice Helms' size
>>19445221It wasn't, but they spend like 20 minutes setting it up...and it was a WWF show...and it was the main event...and the first WCW match on WWE tv. Buff was pretty popular in WCW but this was a horrible call.
>>19445208>My Jag [car] payment was $1,700 a month
>>19445908>Buff was pretty popular in WCWrevisionist horseshit
>>19445221This is a match that, if it were on Nitro, you would have switched to RAW immediately.
Name a hotter couple. You can't.
>>19445357holy shit this. I will never not pity any of these retards that made crazy money during the boom period and spent it all on stupid shit
>>19445931Nah, he's right. Buff was red hot when he came back from injury but of course WCW didn't capitalize on it
>>19445984Sup, fag?
>>19445208Buff is so full of shit. Not that I expect him to be a paragon of virtue but none of these numbers make sense. >1,700 car payment in 2001 A Brand new Jag in 2001 even a fucking supercharged, hooked up XJR (which he didn’t have) is like 50 grand. Does Buff have -500 credit and he tried to finance the car for 1 year or something? >My house was 5,500 dollars a month I live in a half a million dollar (2020’s prices and excellent Covid years interest rate) house on the beach and my mortgage is 1.5K a month. You’re telling me Buff was living in a 3-4 Million dollar home late 90’s prices? That’s a literal mansion in Georgia. If you allegedly made 600 K, why the fuck would you let them buy you out? Take the 1.2 million you’d get for sitting home and pay everything off
>>19445221It's not the match, it's the contentImagine if WWE buys AEW, they "takeover" Raw or Smackdown, and the one match that they decide to put for the main event is Eddie Kingston vs Sammy Guevara
>>19448284Buff is extremely dumb and dysfunctional. Said people are usually bad with money. I'm surprised he's still not dead.
>>19445215LMAO KWAB
>>19445981He was in WCW right up until the end, and even before that was probably making a decent amount working as the stars and stripes tag team he started as, buff is just a fucking moron and came from a family of morons
>>19445208Have them marks in the ring made a union yet?
>>19448284yeah, he's completely full of shit here.
He bet on himself and lost, should have just stayed home and wait until an opportunity arise. Booker t bet on himself and won cause he can wrestle, fight for real and doesn't mind being a comedy jobber
