How 8 WCW Mega-Stars Fared In WWE

4. Buff Bagwell

Buff was never really a star in WCW, but he seemed to have a knack for rubbing elbows with the best of €˜em. His one-time appearance in WWE proved just that. Just a few months after the purchase of WCW, the WWE put on a WCW-themed main event for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in which Booker T defended the title against a debuting Bagwell. The sight of Buff on RAW was a welcomed dash of WCW flavor on WWE programming, but ring performance is where the two brands seem to go their separate ways. Almost immediately that night, it became clear that Bagwell wasn€™t cut out for the big time. It fact, it was odd to see sharing the same screen as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Booker T, and Kurt Angle. Bagwell almost looked giddy to be placed in such heights. We never saw him again. In fact, WWE even wrote an article about the night the match took place, in which they assure you Buff Bagwell ruined their main event. They call it, €œThe Most Awkward Match Ever€. Hot stuff, Buff.
