8. There’s Another…Interesting Family Story!

It'd take a psychiatrist to wrap your head around the Bagwell's family dynamic, and stories like this show why. Not content with getting gifted drugs from his father or literally shooting him, Buff also liked to get into the bath tub so his helpful mother could grab the BIC razor and shave his balls.

That is not a joke.

Judy became Buff's personal assistant at the height of his career. One day, former WCW referee Slick Johnson (be quiet, please) walked into the room to see mum going to town on Buff's stuff. Explaining, Judy said that she was willing to help her darling boy in any way she could. Evidently!

Everyone on the doc just kinda rolls with this stuff as though every family does it. What? You haven't shot your dad in the hand then hopped into the tub for some Manscaping action from mother? You haven't lived. Seriously though, none of the talking heads seem troubled by any of this family stuff.
