Buff Bagwell was one of the top stars of the WCW roster when WWE bought the company after a long war between these two promotions.
During a recent interview with WrestleZone Bagwell recalled the time and shared his experience of being in the WCW locker room the day the company was sold, among other things.
He also discussed the invasion angle which many believe was handled very poorly and talking about it; Buff mentioned how everyone in the world knew that if Shane McMahon was the owner then in the real world Vince McMahon must have bought it.
Continuing on the topic, the former WCW Star claimed that making Shane McMahon the storyline owner of the company was the reason why the angle wasn’t believable from the start:
“Right off the bat, it wasn’t believable because they know Shane didn’t go out and buy WCW, they knew his father bought it and gave it to him for an angle so it became, wrestling became fake again”
Apart from this Buff Bagwell recalled seeing WWE trucks at the time and not knowing what was going on. He revealed that Shane McMahon took a meeting after this and made things clear. You can check out his full interview at this link.
