Terrible Contract Signing #5: Buff Bagwell
In professional wrestling, sometimes it takes more than a chiseled physique and good looks to get ahead.
Marcus Alexander Bagwell was hired by WCW early in its inception and for some reason was treated like a major future star. Bagwell had a great look, but in terms of wrestling ability he was adequate at best.
Still, he had some success in WCW, reigning as world tag team champion with Scotty Riggs before joining the NWO and essentially being drowned out by the bigger names in that stable.
His terrible contract signing was actually with WWE after WCW folded. Bagwell was one of the first WCW stars brought in, but his lackluster in-ring performance and bad attitude backstage quickly led to his release. These days, Eric Bischoff uses Bagwell as an example of why not everyone can be in the main event.
Bagwell's first televised match in the WWE with Booker T has often been lambasted by critics as one of the worst matches in WWE history.
