Rick Steiner breaks Buff Bagwell's neck - 4/22/98

[daviduklevy]

First of all Scott Steiner did botch helping Buff get the pin (it was his neck that was injured not his arm) duh if you look at the video Scott Steiner clearly rushed. It was nothing to do with Buff Bagwell being injured. Secondly Buff Bagwell was better as a rookie in terms of attitude you misunderstood my point.

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

@daviduklevy yea but Marcus Alexander Bagwell would be shit because rookies are shit and if they dont improve into soem kinda character they will go no where. Buff Bagwell was better.

[guitarsofthegods]

buff bagwell actully broke his neck before the match, deep throating gigantic cocks.

[uc95nu51]

I need that beard

[daviduklevy]

The biggest botch was by Scott Steiner. As you could see he was suppose to ensure that buff bagwell's arm was covering Rick Steiner, but he rush so much and messed up. It looked really silly seeing two wrestlers with no pinfall cover and the referee countiing to three.

On a separate note I remember the days Marcus Alexander Bagwell was a rookie in WCW and his image was better than the stupid buff gimmick. When he swings his arms he looks like a immature guy. I like silly gimmicks not that one.

[bworth69]

@daviduklevy I think the pinfall looking that bad was more a result of Bagwell's injury than Scott Steiner botching it.

rick has the best beard ever

This was on my 21st birthday. My buddies & I were getting ready to go out to a bar for my first legal drink & I was just about to turn the T.V. off when Buff hit the mat. One of my buddies said "What's going on?" & I said, "Let's wait a few minutes before we take off. I think Bagwell's hurt for real." Sure enough, when they got back from commercial, Bagwell was being loaded onto a stretcher.

I never really understood why WCW's referees wore bowties.

[bworth69]

@Crymson1 WWE's did too until around the mid 90s

[ONEWAYLEEWAY]

"lol" at lugar making it look like hes checking on rick stiener but hes really checking on buff

[BROO666]

i remember this like it was yesterday

[unsleep]

i thought if you break your neck you die instantly...

[Nemesisangel19]

@unsleep No only if you sever the spinal cord which is encased in the vertebrae of the spinal column.

[Sanchez417]

@thecsxguy you are a moron. D-Lo brown broke Drozs neck. Running powerbomb. A moron thru a drink in the ring and Brown slipped accidentally dropping Droz prematurely/incorrectly. I was there. D-Lo was never the same after that. When he left the ring there was so much sorrow and fear in his eyes.

[mink31]

DeLow put Drox out of action with a running power bomb, not Rick. If you watch Bagwell doesnt bump flat so he runs in to RS hip breaking his own neck.

[totallykyle111]

@mink31 *Droz

[TheCSXGUY]

Same Move top rope Bulldog.

[TheCSXGUY]

Rick also put Darin Drozdof in a wheel chair for life. So buff's Neck was not the first Rick Broke.

[AlcoholicMB]

Lex Luger was all biceps and chest. He had no depth, absolutely no width, and was the skinniest "muscle guy" in the business.

[methodus4287]

jump to 7:20 for the good stuff

[razoramon989]

lol at the sign at the end 'Buff is on the Stuff'

[shaheed79]

Buff is probably the best unintentional heel in history.

[sugarlanskee8]

@shaheed79

Marcus Alexander (Buff) Bagwell and Scott "Flash" Norton were the two most under-rated wrestlers OAT.

[wogacelli]

2:13 faaarrk epic pec bouncing

[09Brant]

I remember watching this live. Scary stuff. Any injury to the neck is scary.

[crescentfallen99]

they both won or lost

[inc2000glw]

[SandManChannel]

He didn't even pin him Lol!

[realguile]

[GregorywithaG]

lmao @realguile

[XavierXDN72892]

@realguile WHY WOULD YOU THINK THATS FUNNY..ITS NOT

[all028]

Another accident (or stiff as they call it in wrestling circles) was when undertaker pile drived hogan. He slipped cus hogan was too sweaty and to this very day, hogan cannot feel the tips of his fingers

[DiabloMercy]

@all028 u kidding..

[all028]

@DiabloMercy nope

 I read it in hulk hogan's biography that he wrote himself

[DiabloMercy]

@all028 more like the side effects of overconsumption of vitamins and roids LMAO

[all028]

I remember this....it was all over the internet and EVERYONE was talkin about it

[1968DartS6]

was this real or scripted (i know logic would say scripted)

[pooman2278]

@1968DartS6 It was real, Bagwell was almost killed.

[Derek70388]

@1968DartS6 Very real. Scott Hall said Bagwell almost died on the operating table.

[fatmanfiftythousand]

@Derek70388 I would figure so. I mean, you take a move forehead first into the mat and see how you feel. Tsk tsk.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

@Derek70388 I remember reading that on an issue of WCW Magazine.

[nWoNitro]

Buff Bagwell suffered damage to several vertebrae and developed spinal shock syndrome after this botched Top Rope Bulldog.

[jelloleggedjedi]

@nWoNitro So he got whiplash from landing wrong pretty much..

[joekoe97]

@jelloleggedjedi whiplash? He broke his damn neck for real.
