Buff Bagwell Speaks On Shooting His Father

Former WCW star Buff Bagwell is working on an autobiography entitled Gladiators Don’t Cry.

“I’ve got a story that is completely off the chain. It’s crazy, literally, it really is. […] I shot my father when I was 18 years old for beating my mom up. So, way beyond wrestling my life’s been crazy. He’s still alive and now we’re best friends,” Bagwell said. “I’ve led a pretty crazy life outside of wrestling, but that too. In wrestling it was just wide open.”

In an interview with the Coshocton Tribune, the five-time WCW World Tag Team Champion also revealed that he has stayed busy, sold his Jaguar and motorcycles, and has been earning his living working indy wrestling shows.
