Jim Ross Reveals Why Buff Bagwell Was Fired From WWE In 2001 Posted By: Ben Jordan Kerin on Jul 25, 2021
On the latest episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross discussed WWF’s Invasion pay-per-view from 2001 and why WWE released Buff Bagwell shortly after his debut in WWE: Buff had a higher opinion of his work than Vince did. I’ve become the bad guy because I’m the middle man. I’m the guy that delivers the bad news, or the good news at times. I don’t hold any animosity to this day on Marc Bagwell whatsoever. I saw where he had a car wreck, and it was involving, I think drinking, maybe. Something here the last few months. He just wasn’t a good fit. That partying lifestyle, we’re trying to distance ourselves a little bit if we could. Vince just didn’t see the money in Marc that Marc saw in himself.
You wouldn t know going off his appearance but Finn Balor has just turned 40.
In a recent interview back in February with SportsBible.com Balor discussed coming up to 40 and how he has no plans to retire anytime soon. It feels like just yesterday when I started in the business. For me it s all happened so fast and I ve had such a great time. Yeah, 40 in the summer - 20+ years in the business and [I ve] enjoyed every day. I feel better at 39 than I did at 29 so I m excited to see how the future s going to pan out. I ve still got the passion, still got the desire, still thankfully got my health. At 29 I was banged up; I was sore and I was tired. I didn t think I d make it to 39 in regards to wrestling in the ring.
