10 Real-life WWE Incidents that might surprise you

#2 Buff Bagwell punches a WCW roadie over a carpet

Buff Bagwell didn't conduct himself as a professional during the fading days of WCW.

Back in 2000, the World Championship Wrestling promotion was feeling the heat from the WWE, who had finally turned around the ratings-war and were rapidly drawing fans from Ted Turner's product.

Understandably, tensions ran high in WCW as the wrestlers began to fear that they might lose their jobs. Perhaps this explains Buff Bagwell's shoddy behavior backstage.

After a WCW Nitro show, Bagwell hung out with several other wrestlers backstage. It's unclear who else was present, other than the fact that Miss Elizabeth and Lex Luger were there. We know this because of the police report which was filed with those two listed as witnesses.

A roadie carrying a rolled up carpet politely asked Bagwell to move aside so he could get through. Bagwell responded with an insult, and when the poor fellow tried to move past with his burden Bagwell punched him in the side of the neck. Witnesses said Bagwell's hand imprint was left behind by the heavy blow.

Bagwell would be arrested but wound up serving no jail time. It's not hard to see why Buff didn't last long in WWE with this attitude.

Another interesting fact about Bagwell is that he was one of the first superstars to be offered a WWE contract from wrestlers belonging to WCW's locker room.
