Buff Bagwell didn’t spend much time in WWE. In fact, his stint from July 2, 2001 to July 9, 2001 was so small if you missed a couple of weeks of television you would never have known he was with the company.
The former WCW performer is currently on his “farewell tour” and sat down with Cult of Whatever and talked about his short stint with WWE.
“What people don’t realize is that they put Booker T and myself on as the main event of Monday Night Raw for the WCW World Title in Seattle, Washington with all of the odds against us. A week later WWE were going to be in Atlanta, Georgia, why could they have not waited seven days and put Booker T v Buff Bagwell for the WCW World Championship on in Atlanta which was the home of WCW instead of seven days earlier in Seattle where we got booed out of the building. My honest opinion is that it was set up for us to fail, it didn’t work and we knew we shouldn’t have been in the main event, we knew there was something wrong about it but you don’t ask questions in this business you just go and do what you’re told.”
When asked to describe Vince McMahon, Bagwell called him Satan. But he had plenty of good things to say about his former boss, Eric Bischoff.
“I thought he was the best, he was the best to me, I’ve heard other people say different things about him but in my opinion, he was the best.”
