Buff Bagwell Surprises Fans With His New Look

Life hasn’t been easy for Buff Bagwell in recent years, with him having to deal with legal issues and requiring surgery. However, it now appears he is back on the right track, having mastered his drug and alcohol addictions. And now the former WCW star has gotten social media talking after revealing a vastly new look during a recent YouTube video , due to him having stopped dyeing his hair and adopting a style that has been likened to both Don King and Johnny Bravo in the comments.

54-year-old Bagwell broke into the business in 1990, initially using the names Fabulous Fabian and The Handsome Stranger. His big break would then come the following year when, thanks to his impressive look and undeniable charisma, he was signed by WCW, with it appearing he was headed to the main event. Yet while this didn’t happen, he would have great success as part of multiple tag teams, holding championship gold alongside 2 Cold Scorpio, The Patriot, Scotty Riggs, and Shane Douglas.

Still, he would have a notable singles run, which saw him pick up many big wins against established stars like Bam Bam Bigelow, Curt Hennig, and Diamond Dallas Page. However, once WCW was purchased by Vince McMahon, his career in the mainstream would effectively end. This is because he was released by WWE after two poorly received matches with Booker T, with it claimed to be because of a perceived attitude problem and an altercation with Shane Helms.
