You might remember Buff Bagwell from his time in WCW, where he is a 5 time World Tag Team Champion. He also worked for the WWE back in 2001 after WCW was bought out, followed by brief stints in TNA. His name has also been in the news recently for his lawsuit against the WWE based on WWE Network royalties. In an interview with the Pancakes and Powerslams Show, Bagwell spoke on a wide variety of topics.
One of these topics was Samoa Joe, who Bagwell RIPS:
“Samoa Joe, to me, I’ve never got that. I know he’s very popular. I know he’s very good in the ring, I think he’s a great wrestler, I like to watch him. But when you’ve got a chance to do a storyline, to the world of wrestling fans, who’s going to be Sting’s tag team partner, and the options are Lex Luger, Marcus Bagwell, and Samoa Joe. I mean, who in the heck is Samoa Joe? And Luger wasn’t fit enough, so I fit the part perfectly. I really don’t know where [TNA] were going with that, except maybe a push for Samoa Joe? Me and Samoa Joe haven’t spoke 10 words together. He was on one independent show with in Cleveland, and he got mad because I was in the main event and he wasn’t. To me, Samoa Joe is a fat, out of shape guy who looks like he should not be in a wrestling ring, and I’ve not heard or seen anybody ever draw a dollar with him” (Source: Pancakes and Powerslams).
