5 WCW stars who didn't get over in WWE

#2 Buff Bagwell

Buff Bagwell - His WWF career was over before it started

Buff Bagwell is a curious case indeed. One of the top upper mid-card acts in WCW, and a focal member of the group's premier act, the nWo, and with the looks and personality that usually ensure a wrestler achieves success in Vince McMahon's company, his tenure in the then WWF lasted all of eight days.

Bagwell debuted for the WWF on July 1 2001 in a house show, and appeared on television for the first time on the July 2 2001 edition of Raw, wherein he faced WCW Champion Booker T in the main event, in a bout billed as a "WCW match".

The match was a disaster, as a partisan WWF crowd who for years had been conditioned to believe the enemy WCW was an inferior product, abandoned the match in droves. Thousands of fans poured out of the arena on camera as the match was in progress.

Adding to the negativity surrounding Bagwell was perplexingly his mother. Despite being 31 years of age at the time, Bagwell's mother Judy continually bombarded the WWF office with phone calls complaining about her son's travel arrangements, and excusing him from non-televised shows due to unspecified injuries.

Feeling Bagwell was not worth the hassle, particularly after his disastrous bout with Booker T, he was cut and never returned to the company again.
