Potentially unpopular opinion: I always thought Giant was a terrible nWo Black and White member - he should have been WCW through and through and teamed up with Lex Luger for a lot longer. Who are your least favourite nWo Black and White members or guys you thought just didn't fit the bill? Brian Adams, maybe? Miss Elizabeth? Curt Hennig? Kyle Petty?
@@ADAM_COLLECTS Not necessarily true, it's only logical that a few WCW guys (that were never in WWF) were going to jump ship to the heel group to add unpredictability to the storyline, it made it way more exciting for the fans at home to think ANYBODY could jump ship that night instead of knowing in advance that only former WWF guys were eligible. It just made for better, more exciting tv.
I will always remember when Buff looked at the camera and said something along the lines of “I know! I’m THAT handsome!” It was amazing. Dude was hilarious and creative with the camera.
The interview he did on Steve Austin's podcast, Steve is trying to stay a pro but you can hear it in his voice he's getting pissed off at certain points A shoot interview is great entertainment for the fans but it's technically work, don't show up drunk or pilled for work
Wallstreet and Vincent were there because of Dibiase's past. In the storyline, Dibiase was the guy who had the money to bring all those WWF guys into WCW. So it was natural for Dibiase to hire his 2 best sidekicks, IRS and Virgil.
Best wrestler interviewer on youtube. Conrad at this point is a shock jock and promotes blue pills to death. Its good to see someone who just lets the wrestler talk and only interrupts in order to help the conversation move a little more.
I think Conrad can be bad for a completely different reason: he loves to talk about the business side of wrestling. Now admittedly, this isn't a common perspective we fans understand, so it's insightful, but also, he wants fans to side with the promoters, over the talent LOL
And Buff is at the very top of the list that didn't fit in the NWO. Buff only fit perhaps at Muscle Beach in a pose down clown contest. Two step, two step dance, goofy smile, look up raise your arms and pose. Go back, get a Shot of roids, then repeat the pose sequence.
Bagwell was a great heel in the nwo. He fit well with them. He had the swagger, mic skills, cool outfits, great look. The buff gimmick went perfect with it and pairing him up with Scott was gold.
@@nojozol1816 the only ones in the nwo that had more than buff would be hall, but he is my all time fav so maybe not a fair view. Hogan even tho it's cool to hate him now. Savage and probably bischoff. Steiner was lame as hell As far as personality goes. Buff made those 2 enjoyable to watch
I always thought Buff was fun but lower tier. When I was a kid I thought of him as more of Scott Steiner's Side Kick & nWo by Proxy. That said he was nWo's Cheerleader & The nWo was better for it! #BuffBelonged #TheBuffBlockBusterIsGOATed
I think he should have turned face, feuded with Stiener, and lost. It would have given both a major storyline and pushed both up the card. Scott to main event level, and Buff to Stiener's old spot. I think they did something similar eventually, but it was too late. Early 98 probably. Then Scott that ends the streak. Cause it needed to end, and he would have been the best choice, but Scott wasn't quite there yet.
Rodman was great as a nWo member. I think he did a show recently and it even said former member of the nWo along with his sports accomplishments. lmao.
@@jakeh6980 It was all the mid card guys that was at catering that was friends with Hogan or the bookers at that time convincing them to add them so they can get some tv time. So it went from 3 to 20 people, then they split into factions because there was so many people.
I’m 37. I grew up hardcore watching wcw and wwf during the 90’s and early 2000’s. I’m fully aware of all that. I simply made the clear point that the nwo was originally created with the mindset of having it consist of ex wwf wrestlers. But that idea was too logic and made too much sense. So wcw went the opposite way and just started throwing anybody in it that complained about not getting enough tv time and complaining about the nwo getting all the tv time. Except for Virgil. He was just an irrelevant douche who rode on the coattails of the actual stars
Be honest... Do you look at this video and see a sober buff? I love buff, he was always one of my top 3 favorites... But I'm also not blind... Is he getting a little.better? Yes, but in this video does he look like he's got it together? Absolutely not
Virgil or Vincent whichever you like , use to show up to the frackvile mall in Pennsylvania and setup a table for autographs. Just a regular old folding table, no memorabilia on it just stood there with a nwo shirt on. It was really embarrassing, I never once seen anyone stop at the table to even bullshit with him, mall was pretty dead but still it was horrible to see. They demolished that mall a few years ago.
As a black man, I’m embarrassed of Virgil. We don’t claim that piece of sh*t. He literally let them do anything to him and he never got any redemption. No backbone at all. Now Booker T, Mark Henry, The Rock, Big E, And few others.. but not that disgrace to his race. And yes the Rock is half black
100%.... Buff was always one of my top.favorites.. but I think this who rebuilding buff thing isn't completely straight... He's absolutely not sober here.... They read a couple comments of mine awhile back about him looking to bad to be on camera and their reply was "he's been running hard all weekend and was tired".... I was an opiate addict for 11 years... I KNOW THAT RASPY VOICE AND LOW EYES
@@marlonthompson4539 lol yea they would always be on the Saturday show. That's true, sting was the climax, I remember watching nitro just to see sting come down from the rafters.
Well, Hall was in WCW before WWF, as was Nash, so was the Undertaker (I know he never came back but he started WCW) They were just no names, and nobody remembers. So by that logic, they can't be in.
Bagwell: The nWo was supposed to be about cool young guys. Host: What about Disciple? Bagwell: Yeah. He would be good for like a Virgil type role. Host: What about Virgil? Bagwell: No.
Horace would have had a better chance of getting over if he would have acknowledged & been cocky about the nepotism. Seeing that the family member who allowed him to cut in line was Hollywood himself, he could've generated nuclear heat, like "You're damn right Uncle Hollywood helped put me in this position, cuz a Hogan never has to wait in line!" then insult the audience for being peasants.
recall how Dom Mysterio just got apathy when he first started tagging with his dad. but after the jail bit, he started to get some serious heat. Horace needed something along those lines. Anything to make he appear that he just was not another one of the boys that were a dime a dozen.
Not a good example. nWo probably never would've been as big without Hogan, he was the exception. He was a draw as the top heel and a believable mentor and leader for the younger guys. He could give them the rub and was valuable addition.
Honestly, the NWO idea was like wrestling in general today, what once was a decent idea and creative attraction is now among the archives of overdone, over redundant, over repeated, wrestling renamed Sports Entertainment BS. Current Author and overstated too many times genius, Vince McMahon. Vince thinks he still knows it all. The wrestling Entertainment business is like a Television Series that runs or ran it's course. Great shows and series eventually ran their course and ended. The crap they put on and call Sports Entertainment today, like good TV Series of the past, saw their time come and go. It along with TV still awarding it air time both lack good sense when it comes to programming, alla so-called Reality TV crap, and are just too ignorant to accept that this Entertainment value just isn't there. But the networks should not Fret, TV, Satellite, Cable, the web, is full of BS programming that lacks any entertainment value. Wrestling is among many shows so it has company in futility. Just because some rich network flunkie thinks something is good or regulates it to PG programming does not mean it is in fact any good. Like wrestling at one time, these TV geniuses had their moments of glory come and go as well.
Vincent was wayyyyy too uncool for the NWO. He also sandbagged The Giant so many times times I am surprised his ass was able to stay employed. I agree with IRS and Big Bubba as well. Also, Kurt Hennig should have stayed in the Hoursemen. A good one that should've been added would have been Eddie Guerrero. He had the talk that fit the NWO. I'll add that Stevie Ray, Bryan Adams, The Giant, Macho Man and Bret Hart should've all been left out. The Wolfpac was watered down as well.
Agreed on everyone except Giant. He was a good bodyguard, plus he was young enough to fit the image. The problem with making him solo is that he was still too green, he would've been exposed in the main events.
I thought Vincent made a great stooge for the NWO. He showed up to Universal Studios and house shows and get his ass beat. Scott Hall also mentioned it was great because it helped his heel status by bringing a 2nd guy to the ring since he had no Manager.
@@ethanlarson9029 Well, how they all turned out 20+ years later is irrelevant. The nWo worked, and he was part of it. I don't know why he doesn't wear the shirt when when he's doing signings.
People who should had never been involved with the NWO: Michael Wallstreet, Big Bubba, Horace Hogan, Brian Adams, Curt Henning, Masahiro Chono, Jeff Farmer, The Giant, Miss Elizabeth, Lex Luger, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Bret Hart, Disco, Harris Bros, Dusty Rhodes. You could start your own promotion with the names of people who shouldn't had been involved. Vincent and Ed Leslie were the only two "lackeys" that could had worked.
Jeff Farmer was there to mess with Sting so he definitely fit in but should have disappeared after Sting beat him. Brian Adam's was a good big guy like Stevie Ray that was great for taking losses instead of one of the main guys.
the main difference was that David did what he was told, while Shane forced his dad's power and put himself in matches on PPVS that people didn't want to see him in. Survivor Series 2016, 2017, & 2018 come to mind.
First ever wrestling show I watched was WCW when I was in primary school. Marcus Alexander Bagwell v Vader was main event. Sting rescued him at the end lol
I'm here for the comments, I want to see how many say "Bagwell" on their list first... Never thought much of him, he was a decent mid card heel but when you get to the "fight" with Hurricane I'm curious what version he tells this time.
If I had to do the job these wrestlers did and it still do a majority of the 365 days of the year and do shoot interviews? You damn right I'm gonna drink whenever I feel like drinking after it's time to hang up the boots or whenever outside the ring after the match is over. Not encouraging everyone to do the same to each it's own
I hate to admit but I didn't think Buff belonged there either. In hindsight he definitely got himself over but not enough to leave the midcard. Buff is talking down a lot of people who were definitely not as over as him here but the nWo really should have had a higher bar than Buff could pass too. Anyway what's even wilder is that Bret Hart was only a satellite member of the nWo for a long time, until the nWo elite, which IMO doesn't count because that was the version of the nWo that killed it off completely.
@@derek-64 Anyone can get their ass kicked. Syxx could've fulfilled that role AND looked good doing it. Virgil had no charisma or look, he was just an old bum from WWF wearing an nWo shirt.
Did anyone else find it pathetic that Buff would tell Virgil to get his table away from Buff's because he didn't want to potentially lose out on a $60 signing??? The pettiness in that statement shows the depths of modern day Buff Bagwell.
Yeah, 100% trash statement. But that's an average wrestlers mentality. I worked independent circuit in Florida 15 years ago and the amount of ego and pettiness in a locker room is astounding.
So if somebody hired you to paint a house and I drove by and saw you painting. Then I stopped and painted the front door and tried taking a portion of the money. You wouldn't get upset?
Shoulda Kept it small; Vicious and Delicious were perfect and shoulda gotten a bigger push and been tag team champs eventually like in 1998 after the Outsiders became almost exclusively solo wrestlers.
Issue is ..keep it small? everyone says one guy gets in and someone else doesnt.. NWO red was a bad bad idea.. meaning..all you need is WCW vs NWO (50% good guys- 50% bad guys)
7:33 the reaction about David Flair 😂😂😂 but, to David Flair's defense, them red ass puffy cheeks matched the wolpac nWo shirt he had on. 😂😂😂 his cheeks probably red af from doing the wolfpac howl. 😂
Virgil is one of the mainstays in the nwo. When the red faction came out, the nwo gimmick was done but so was wcw. The giant,booker t,Stevie ray, big boss man, crush, were what watered the nwo down
Whenever I saw any and everybody jumping into the nWo I knew it was growing stale. Same could be said for the Wolfpac. Some of the new editions barely bothered to change their look. Only thing they did was change the color scheme of their attire and slap the nWo logo on their a$$.
@@jrsmith1998 People who yap their mouth for a living combined with GETTING OLD strain their voices , Vince McMahon's voice is getting gruffer and he doesn't smoke but that wasn't what kW music or other people mean when they say get help !

Google Bash at Beach 96...Savage never got any revenge for it...and Syxx left..Perfect(as i call him)Bret, Savage were meant to be WCW saviors ...not hogans pawn men....
You missed Scott Norton. He wasn't a mic worker but he was solid and respected, well respected in Japan... He wasn't so "cool" as such but he was fearsome, like a more intimidating, bigger, and serious Anvil Neidhart. I say Scott Norton was most underrated NWO member, and his N. Korea tales are awesome ha... NWO = best Heel Stable of all time
Buff reminds me of that guy when you’re having a party and someone says “are you going to invite him” and you say “might as well he’s going to show up anyway.”
chasesutley7277 You rather be remembered for nothing instead of being remembered as a popular wrestler of the 90’s, who will always be remembered for being entertaining, with a great physique that was over and made a really decent living? Oh don’t worry, you surely will be remembered for nothing 😂
As I've said time after time a wrestling faction should be only four to five guys anything more is over kill. The NWO was great when they first started out but each time another member was added the whole thing was starting to fall flat
@@raventalks2776 well if u see my other comments on other vids I say the same, but I m not going to point it out in every comment. Doesn't change the fact that I find he looks good for a drugged out 50 something year old man smart ass.
@@russellcampbell3500 so what is it... You said he looks great and sounds like the old buff.. then called him a rugged old man... Can't have it both ways... I think he's truly trying and he wants to be and sound like the old buff but coming from experience... This is what makes addiction a disease! You want to be clean but your mind and body aren't in sync with your wants
No it made perfect sense, the nwo was really Hulk Hogan and his league of Jabronies to make him look stronger. The outsiders were just a distraction from the main theme, Hogan, Hogan and Hogan
NWO was supposed to be the guys that came from WWE. It should’ve stayed Hall, Nash, and Hogan. When Bret went to WCW - he became a member when there was too many. He should’ve been the fourth, after if they had the pay per view match, and something could’ve happened as an interruption like Sting coming in to help Bret, but then Bret, and Hogan beat down on Sting making Bret part of the NWO (something like that). No more members unless they came from WWE.
Potentially unpopular opinion: I always thought Giant was a terrible nWo Black and White member - he should have been WCW through and through and teamed up with Lex Luger for a lot longer. Who are your least favourite nWo Black and White members or guys you thought just didn't fit the bill? Brian Adams, maybe? Miss Elizabeth? Curt Hennig? Kyle Petty?
Buff didn’t fit! Brian Adams and Curt Hennig were logically fine.
if you were NWO, you had to be a former WWF guy, simple. Hogan, Nash. Hall, Sixx, Ted Dibiase
@@ADAM_COLLECTS Not necessarily true, it's only logical that a few WCW guys (that were never in WWF) were going to jump ship to the heel group to add unpredictability to the storyline, it made it way more exciting for the fans at home to think ANYBODY could jump ship that night instead of knowing in advance that only former WWF guys were eligible.

Perfectly said.
Thank you for saying this. A lot of people dissed those additions but failed to make that connection.
That's really the only time I would accept them in it, as long as they are his sidekicks again like they were in the WWF.
True, but they should have been gone as soon as he was.
His reaction to David Flair being NWO was the exact same as mine was at the time.
Lmao. Same w me. They really screwed it up. They just ran out of good ideas. Crazy cause they had so much talent. Got weird
@J P you mean aside from him joining the wolfpac for a bit after using a taser when he turned on his dad at superbrawl 9 🤷♂️
Lol Buff didn't even remember David Flair in NWO

@@ethanlarson9029 Well, how they all turned out 20+ years later is irrelevant. The nWo worked, and he was part of it. I don't know why he doesn't wear the shirt when when he's doing signings.
People who should had never been involved with the NWO: Michael Wallstreet, Big Bubba, Horace Hogan, Brian Adams, Curt Henning, Masahiro Chono, Jeff Farmer, The Giant, Miss Elizabeth, Lex Luger, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Bret Hart, Disco, Harris Bros, Dusty Rhodes. You could start your own promotion with the names of people who shouldn't had been involved.
Vincent and Ed Leslie were the only two "lackeys" that could had worked.
Unpopular opinion here but I actually liked black and red Wolfpac Sting
Jeff Farmer was there to mess with Sting so he definitely fit in but should have disappeared after Sting beat him. Brian Adam's was a good big guy like Stevie Ray that was great for taking losses instead of one of the main guys.
You're wrong about Disco. He was the perfect NWO stooge
On Masashiro was it the case he was in the NWO cause New Japan was also running a NWO storyline too and he was part of the japanese faction?
Wow!!! The Disciples was Brutus dammm that is 🔥🔥
Buff Bagwell comes to mind.
It seems like Buff Bagwell didn't have to explain why David Flair wasn't a good fit for the nwo
He would've fit in the Wolfpac with his red, rosy cheeks.
the main difference was that David did what he was told, while Shane forced his dad's power and put himself in matches on PPVS that people didn't want to see him in. Survivor Series 2016, 2017, & 2018 come to mind.
"Virgil get the fuck away from me!" Lol that was awesome
"I got more black friends, than white friends"...saw that one coming LOL
Spoken like a true closet racist.
5:35 sure you do, Buff lol😂
Buff answered with 20 min answers for questions that required 15 seconds
Man, all of us 90’s kids are getting old. Fuck man…where did the time go?
I think "The Iron Sheik" and "Bob Backlund" would have made great additions to the NWO.
😂😂😂
Harley Race
First ever wrestling show I watched was WCW when I was in primary school. Marcus Alexander Bagwell v Vader was main event. Sting rescued him at the end lol
I'm here for the comments, I want to see how many say "Bagwell" on their list first... Never thought much of him, he was a decent mid card heel but when you get to the "fight" with Hurricane I'm curious what version he tells this time.
....??
Agreed he thought of himself as a top guy but like you said he was mid-card .
@@AlBundyPolkHigh. Wut
@@uncledrosselmeyer6480 Wut lol
Totally. I never thought Buff or Norton as anything but NWO fill ins.
It's always better when Buff is drinking during his interviews
And that's ALL his interviews.
If I had to do the job these wrestlers did and it still do a majority of the 365 days of the year and do shoot interviews? You damn right I'm gonna drink whenever I feel like drinking after it's time to hang up the boots or whenever outside the ring after the match is over. Not encouraging everyone to do the same to each it's own
This has made me so happy seeing Buff on the channel
I mean.... he's one of em lol
I hate to admit but I didn't think Buff belonged there either. In hindsight he definitely got himself over but not enough to leave the midcard. Buff is talking down a lot of people who were definitely not as over as him here but the nWo really should have had a higher bar than Buff could pass too.
Anyway what's even wilder is that Bret Hart was only a satellite member of the nWo for a long time, until the nWo elite, which IMO doesn't count because that was the version of the nWo that killed it off completely.
the nWo Elite. it happened. fuck off.
Agreed

Guys like him ruined nWo
It's makes sense because he was a wwf guy and nwo was supposed to be the wwf invading wcw
So Brutus belongs because he had that cool Virgil character vibe… but Virgil didn’t. Got it.
You didn't listen to him right. He basically said it was just about how Brutus looked
@@ReanimatorsMutilations Virgil fit more than either of them
@@djdarq6311 how?
Virgil was good in the role of being a goon sent in to get his ass kicked but that was it.
@@derek-64 Anyone can get their ass kicked. Syxx could've fulfilled that role AND looked good doing it. Virgil had no charisma or look, he was just an old bum from WWF wearing an nWo shirt.
I’m glad buff is doing better. Thanks too DDP once again a life saver
Did anyone else find it pathetic that Buff would tell Virgil to get his table away from Buff's because he didn't want to potentially lose out on a $60 signing???
The pettiness in that statement shows the depths of modern day Buff Bagwell.
Yeah, 100% trash statement. But that's an average wrestlers mentality. I worked independent circuit in Florida 15 years ago and the amount of ego and pettiness in a locker room is astounding.
Buff is a very petty guy
Thats how it is in the business
So if somebody hired you to paint a house and I drove by and saw you painting. Then I stopped and painted the front door and tried taking a portion of the money. You wouldn't get upset?
@@robosteveo horrible analogy
He must have used a new sharpie for his goatee. His soul patch is crooked though
Shoulda Kept it small; Vicious and Delicious were perfect and shoulda gotten a bigger push and been tag team champs eventually like in 1998 after the Outsiders became almost exclusively solo wrestlers.
Issue is ..keep it small? everyone says one guy gets in and someone else doesnt.. NWO red was a bad bad idea.. meaning..all you need is WCW vs NWO (50% good guys- 50% bad guys)
Buff sounds like he's getting better.
People who belonged in the nWo:
Hogan
Hall
Nash
Savage
Dibase
Syxx
Buff
Scott Steiner
Henning and Rude
That should of been it
Chono too
7:33 the reaction about David Flair 😂😂😂 but, to David Flair's defense, them red ass puffy cheeks matched the wolpac nWo shirt he had on. 😂😂😂 his cheeks probably red af from doing the wolfpac howl. 😂
Agreed NWO got way to water down, Hulk, the outsiders, Scott Stiner, Buff & maybe a couple more (2) would have been perfect.
Virgil is one of the mainstays in the nwo. When the red faction came out, the nwo gimmick was done but so was wcw. The giant,booker t,Stevie ray, big boss man, crush, were what watered the nwo down
Whenever I saw any and everybody jumping into the nWo I knew it was growing stale. Same could be said for the Wolfpac. Some of the new editions barely bothered to change their look. Only thing they did was change the color scheme of their attire and slap the nWo logo on their a$$.
Bagwell was steiners hype man
I hope Bagwell gets the help he obviously needs.
What kind of help does he obviously need ? There is nothing wrong with him , he is just getting older !
@@antonycuff4512 Well he sounds like he smokes 4 packs of cigarettes a day and suffering with COPD.
@@jrsmith1998 People who yap their mouth for a living combined with GETTING OLD strain their voices , Vince McMahon's voice is getting gruffer and he doesn't smoke but that wasn't what kW music or other people mean when they say get help ! He already is working with ddp doing yoga full time , I doubt he is smoking all day with dp . you wouldn't be able to do yoga effectively with your lungs compromised !
Damn Buff! A long way away from the American Pie days on Roswell Rd Sandy Springs in the 90s. Well, at least your still with us..
Hahaha!! That's some old school Atlanta reference right there lol.
nWo should've been at most 10 guys: Hall, Nash, Hogan, Dibiase, Giant, Syxx, Savage, Steiner, Hennig, and Rude.
So no Mr PErfect vs Scott feud? PErfect was nobodys bitch..Perfect was a leader not some follower ...
Google Bash at Beach 96...Savage never got any revenge for it...and Syxx left..Perfect(as i call him)Bret, Savage were meant to be WCW saviors ...not hogans pawn men....
Holy Shit! Did Buff draw his facial hair on with magic marker? Just look at that shit.
Buff didn't belong either 🤷🏻♂️
Really ? He and Scott Steiner carried the load when Hogan ,Nash and Hall weren't around. Don't take my word for it , you can do some research
Buff got himself over huge in 1998..he was one of the most over people on the show ..he defo fit in the nwo
Of all the lower members of the nWo Buff stood out the most, he always knew who to stand beside and make his presence felt with his personality.
Nah he was a good addition.
Buff daddy had great energy in the nwo
I didn't even watch the video yet and I feel what you're saying... Buff bagwell got the nerve
“ you gotta realize
that you do need a black guy in the group to make it cool “lolllllllll I love
buff bagwell
He didn't name himself?
Typical buff bagwell
Literally YOU were 😂😂😂
After the forth member it went down
no it blew up the entire wrestling business
@@masterfulsky no Hogan, hall, and Nash did the rest was just coattails
You missed Scott Norton. He wasn't a mic worker but he was solid and respected, well respected in Japan... He wasn't so "cool" as such but he was fearsome, like a more intimidating, bigger, and serious Anvil Neidhart. I say Scott Norton was most underrated NWO member, and his N. Korea tales are awesome ha...
NWO = best Heel Stable of all time
Norton was another "bodyguard/bouncer" type for the nwo. The guy you'd have to face before wrestling nash or hogan...
Virgil was awesome. They chanted his name when he joined! Highest rated segment in the Monday night wars on either side.
No he wasn’t, he was a disgrace to his race and always has been
Buff reminds me of that guy when you’re having a party and someone says “are you going to invite him” and you say “might as well he’s going to show up anyway.”
Disco Inferno was the worst.
Kermit the frog was a jabroni
Buff is a legend in his own mind.
He is a legend in his own right. Most wrestlers from the golden era are. I mean, you’ll never be remembered for anything; correct?
@@jakeh6980 I’d rather be remembered for nothing than be remembered as Marcus Bagwell.
chasesutley7277 You rather be remembered for nothing instead of being remembered as a popular wrestler of the 90’s, who will always be remembered for being entertaining, with a great physique that was over and made a really decent living? Oh don’t worry, you surely will be remembered for nothing 😂
@@jakeh6980 Good.
As I've said time after time a wrestling faction should be only four to five guys anything more is over kill.
The NWO was great when they first started out but each time another member was added the whole thing was starting to fall flat
"There's 30k here, there's 20 million there. I'm going for the 30 million". Gotta love Buff.
Buff still looking great. He sounds like the old buff too. Good to see him out and doing some wrasslin interviews.
Be honest with yourself.... Does buff look sober in this particular video?? Absolutely not
😂 don’t lie
@@raventalks2776 well if u see my other comments on other vids I say the same, but I m not going to point it out in every comment. Doesn't change the fact that I find he looks good for a drugged out 50 something year old man smart ass.
@@russellcampbell3500 so what is it... You said he looks great and sounds like the old buff.. then called him a rugged old man...
Can't have it both ways...
I think he's truly trying and he wants to be and sound like the old buff but coming from experience... This is what makes addiction a disease! You want to be clean but your mind and body aren't in sync with your wants
@@raventalks2776 first your stupid. Second it's a typo and it's drugged. U asked I answered grow up moron.
Bagwell been eating some of those poppy seed bagels.
Buff Bagwell is like a real life character from a Will Ferrell wrestling movie. Some of the stuff he comes out with is beyond hilarious.
Buff watered it down bad
Nope
Buff Bagwell didn't belong there Either . He belongs at the local bar 🍸 getting drunk 🥴
Buff needs to add himself seriously 😂
Buff on some stuff
Lol
The fact that even Buff Bagwell accidentally called Horace Hogan.."Hugh Morris" says all you need to know about him..😂
Buff forgot to name 1guy... Himself !!!!
No it made perfect sense, the nwo was really Hulk Hogan and his league of Jabronies to make him look stronger. The outsiders were just a distraction from the main theme, Hogan, Hogan and Hogan
Really? This is who they got to choose this list? He’s on it for sure, he’s like a disco inferno
If Buff doesn’t include himself on his list, it’s not a very accurate list.
Buff is the Stuff
How many somas this dude take?
lost all credability when Buff didnt start the list with himself
He was nothing before the nWo. It brought out his character/personality. Went from Stars and Stripes/American Males to a superstar. Bad take.
NWO was supposed to be the guys that came from WWE. It should’ve stayed Hall, Nash, and Hogan. When Bret went to WCW - he became a member when there was too many. He should’ve been the fourth, after if they had the pay per view match, and something could’ve happened as an interruption like Sting coming in to help Bret, but then Bret, and Hogan beat down on Sting making Bret part of the NWO (something like that). No more members unless they came from WWE.
I agree ☝️
The nWo had been going on for a year and a half by the time Bret got there though.
Eric chickened out when he got sued . he changed the story from an invasion to disgruntled wrestlers who didn't get pushed .
@@NoMercyFederation1 that’s what I mean, Bret should’ve been the fourth member.
Nobody ever wanted a Buff autograph!!!
Rick steiner did not fit in as well.
But Rick was never in the nwo they teased like he was going to join.
