Buff Bagwell Reveals How He Cheated Drug Tests In WCW

While it’s well known WWE took drug testing seriously in the ’90s due to the steroid trial, WCW would also implement testing, with the death of Louie Spicoll seeing testing significantly increased. And now on his YouTube channel, Buff Bagwell, who had a very muscular physique at this time, has disclosed the lengths he went to to pass tests, revealing he used someone else’s urine.

“I had a guy that was clean that would pee for me in a cup, and this may sound easy, you know pee in a cup, go pour it in a cup, but it wasn’t that easy this guy to pee in a cup a specific cup … you now you got to go in front of the doctor and do this transition, and it’s got to be the right temperature or the whole thing’s been wasted.

So I’m doing this I get the bottle I got I do the transfer I go inside now the last trick is you’ve got to tell the doctor to turn the water on so to turn the water on the noise of the bottle when you release it you hear the air suck back so I didn’t you can’t want you can’t have him hear that so he turns the water on to block that sound out.”

54-year-old Bagwell broke into the business back in 1990, with his big break coming the following year when he was signed by WCW, thanks to his impressive look and undeniable charisma. However, despite achieving great success in WCW, once the promotion was purchased by Vince McMahon, his career in mainstream wrestling would effectively end. This is because WWE released him shortly afterward due to two poorly received matches with Booker T and an altercation with Shane Helms.
