He's Buff, he's the stuff and everyone in WWE has had e-f*cking-nough.

On the surface, Bagwell should've been a success in the company when they acquired contracts from the shell of WCW. He had a great look, charisma for days and name value with fans from his days in the nWo. Four months on from agreeing to join the WWF, Buff was fired for various reasons.

Jim Ross has said several times in interviews that Bagwell's mother Judy plagued WWF offices with phone calls about her son's travel arrangements and general booking. Then, there was an altercation between Buff and Shame Helms backstage that was blamed pretty much exclusively on Bagwell. Then, there were also doubts about his skills anyway.

It was only a matter of time for the former WCW favourite. His face didn't fit in the WWF, and Buff himself didn't do much to ease that by reportedly acting like he was the next coming of Hulk Hogan who could act as though he was beyond reproach.
