WCW star is facing another health crisis. Bagwell revealed on his YouTube channel that he has to have his leg amputated due to the car crash he was involved in years ago. It was an above the knee amputation.
Bagwell credits the knee injury with driving him to become sober.
“This has been a five year long journey. I have tried to save my leg…On this one I wasn’t able to fix the problem for the first time and instead of fixing it I continued to go into my addiction and then got sober. I was so angry at what happened instead of continuing drinking and drugging I wanted to get sober,” said Bagwell in the video with his fiance.
Bagwell credits Diamond Dallas Page with helping him enter rehab and get sober.
Bagwell’s friend Steve Stasiak wrote: ““I’ve known Buff a long time. I’ve seen him in the spotlight, I’ve seen him behind the scenes, and I’ve seen him fight through things most people never even hear about. This one … this is hard. For him. For everybody who knows and loves him…“He gave it everything he had to avoid this outcome, but that fight led him here. And now begins a whole new kind of battle. Buff was one of the brightest stars of a wild era in wrestling. He made you look. He made you care. But it’s who he is as a person — past the lights, past the persona — that I hope people think about today.”
