Did he have the same thing as Flex Wheeler?

It said he was tired of experiencing pain in the leg from a 2020 car wreck.  So chose to have it snipped.

Amputation is always an option. That's what I tell my wife when she complains of headaches.

Wrestling is fake. This is all part of a storyline.

Buff lost his leg in a pec vs leg match with Scott Steiner. He will win the leg back at SummerSlam.

You’re all a bunch of marks.

"Buff Bagwell" never heard of him. Sounds like a gayporn actor name, but he is / was a wrestler

From what I read he was DUI when he crashed into a mall?
Dumb idiot, and of course after the crash he started drinking even more. What a cliche guy

"He has an impressive 32,000 followers on YouTube" hahaha

I used to see him around at the Main Event gym in Marietta and the Powerhouse Gym in Alpharetta.  Mostly talking and laughing.  I never saw him working out much.  (This was long after WCW closed and the WWE had fired him after one match)  I posted about it before, but he had the damn skinniest legs I have ever seen in my life.  I don't mean the usual "wrestling is an upper body sport so don't work legs" kind of mentality like Rude had.  But just genetically, they were like popsicle sticks.  Now this was after he had that disaster with the calf implants.  Where he had implants put in and then shortly afterwards had to have them removed because his body rejected them and developed an infection.  This could be why he had horrible legs later on.

He did independent shows for a while and then worked as a gigolo.  He had some tv expo about his time doing that.

Training legs uses more energy and needs more recovery and they used to be wrestling and travelling almost every day.

yes i think there´s some truth to this but you know exercises like Zercher Squats would have been beneficial for them

I believe it were injuries from a car crash, back in 2018.

Buff got done dirty when he got fired WWE.  He and Booker were set up to fail.  Though apparently Buff was really disliked by a lot of people and that was part of the reason he got canned.

I saw an interview clip were Buff said he didn't train heavy to avoid injuries.  Kind of ironic now.  Dude did have a hell of a physique in his prime though.  Once saw him described online as having "a back too big for his body"  ;D

Ric Flair and Chris Benoit did hundreds of bodyweight squats every day which they learned as a habit from their time training in Japan.

The Zercher squats look like a good exercise for the lower back strength as well.

He would have to basically run the wood chipper and amputate everything from everything to cure his ills.

Perry Saturn will be the next one I bet.

When he first hit the scene as Marcus Alexander Bagwell and was a baby face novice, his back was great.  Later after losing some baby fat, his chest and abs looked good.  But it always seems like he had super flat triceps.  Not much mass at all there.

I heard the reason the WWE cut him was not just because of the match, but because his mother was constantly calling in making requests for him to have time off.

He is in a wheelchair and undergoing surgery after surgery in constant pain. If he just got the amputation he could get a artificial leg and be walking around tomorrow just like Anakin Skywalker/Dark Vader.

buff is just a prime example of a pro wrestler once there career was over could not accept the fact he needed to get a real job,he has always had drug and alcohol problems.

he is lucky he didnt kill anyone when he had that crash of course he lost his leg in the process and has no way of ever doing anything meaningful again.

It would be very difficult to get a normie job after being famous, humiliating in fact. Like in The Wrestler.

Only a few go on to other top jobs in show biz, like Gary Linekar going from football into match of the day presenter for years and the bbc's top earner.
The obvious thing would be to save up while in the top spot but we know these guys live like Kings and blow all the cash on partying and women etc
Being at the top in sport doesn't last long for most, even in fake sport like wrestling unless they have the charisma to keep their character resonating with the fans

The rock went to Hollywood

Triple H became an executive

Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper made some movies

Cena and Batista also went the movie-route

Some veterans go on to become backstage agents that help other younger wrestlers enhance and establish their character.  Arn Anderson is a good example.  Though Buff wasn't a great character on his own, so no real reason to put him in this position.

Sold their souls to the jews. Cena and Rock, remember them wearing skirts? It was a humiliation ritual. Just like Arnold in Junior
