Legendary wrestler and actor Marcus “Buff” Bagwell has been lighting up our screens since the early nineties. During his formidable career with the World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Bagwell held the World Tag Team Champion title six times. For over a decade, Bagwell excelled as one of the most popular and loved wrestlers in the world. From appearing regularly on NITRO to the NWA, Bagwell has left a lasting mark on the industry. Born and raised in Georgia, USA, Bagwell was a standout baseball player and athlete during his high school years. After working for his family’s lumber company and becoming a certified therapist, Bagwell made his break in the wrestling business with the Global Wrestling Federation. The rest is history. Now a seasoned television and film actor, Bagwell’s star will continue to soar.
Over the years, Bagwell has had some spectacular triumphs on wrestling’s theatrical stage. From becoming an instant fan favourite after his appearance on Clash of the Champions XVII to taking on Terrance Taylor at SuperBrawl II, Bagwell is a showman through and through. As Bagwell took on more significant challenges and joined the New World Order (NWO), he developed his signature muscle flex and his canny compliments to himself. From competing at the New Japan Pro-Wrestling to feuding and defeating Lex Luger at the Starrcade, Bagwell is nothing but memorable. With other notable appearances over the years, such as facing Booker T in ‘Raw is War,’ becoming a World Wrestling All-Star and forming The American Males, Bagwell is in a league of his own.
Beyond the ring, Bagwell has featured in a wide range of television and film over the years.
