10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: Buff Bagwell
7. He Almost Lost His Legs
Before he was having his back, sack and crack handled by Judy, Buff was weighing up the possibility of losing his legs. Bagwell wanted to have the best body possible, so he got some calf implants shortly after joining WCW. They caused immense pain, so then-tag partner Too Cold Scorpio had to carry Marcus to the bathroom and back.
Buff's body then rejected the implants so badly that doctors have him a choice: Have them whipped out or face the thought of having his legs amputated. Incredibly, Bagwell actually hesitated over this decision before finally seeing the light and taking the implants out.
Oh yeah, and he still has them.
Buff keeps the rejected implants in a box at home. Something tells this fan that known-collector and podcast guru Conrad Thompson won't be tripping over himself to add those to his collection of wrestling artefacts. Or, maybe he'll take them to Starrcast. Who knows?
