Former WCW star Buff Bagwell recently discussed getting inspiration from ex-WWE star Maven. The former wrestler now has a very successful YouTube channel.

Marcus "Buff" Bagwell wrestled all over the world, including in WWE, but spent a decade with WCW. During his time with the company, he won the World Tag Team Championship five times. Bagwell shared the ring with wrestling legends like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Sting, and Steve Austin, and was a member of the famous New World Order (nWo).

During an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda's Dr. Chris Featherstone, Buff The Stuff mentioned that he came across Maven's YouTube channel and was inspired by the former WWE star:

"A guy named Chase Brogan came to me and showed me a Maven clip and he goes, 'Hey, this guy right here makes a couple of hundred thousand dollars on YouTube.' I said, 'Do what?' I was shocked. But it was really a great channel. It's not easy, he's got half a million subscribers. That's a big deal."

Bagwell mentioned the channel quickly grew to 18,000 subscribers in just three months. He explained how his good memory helped him recall all the events that happened throughout his career and he shared it with his listeners:

"In our first month, we made money and with our first three months we had 18,000 subscribers. So that's a great, incredible start. God blessed me with a great memory. So my memory along with 33 years of travelling on the road. I came up with a lot of great stories and great memories over the years. From that, I go out and tell them. I'm really transparent with my stories. I tell the truth about everything, it just comes across really well. It's been a great time and a lot of fun." [From 04:10 to 05:07]
