Former champion wants to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame (Exclusive)
Former WCW Tag Team Champion Buff Bagwell has revealed that his long-term goal was to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
While Bagwell's WWE career might not have panned out the way he would have liked, as he worked just a few months for the company in 2001, he was immensely successful in WCW. During his ten-year tenure with the promotion from 1991 to 2001, Buff Bagwell became a five-time WCW Tag Team Champion. He also became a member of the New World Order.
While his post-WWE career has seen him wrestle mostly in the indie scene, Bagwell aims to become a part of the Hall of Fame. Speaking to Mac Davis of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Buff Bagwell said his goal is to be inducted into the Hall of Famer was "logical" and "attainable."
The 53-year-old added that he also wanted to show people that he still has plenty left in the tank by competing again inside the squared circle.
"My long-term goal is, of course, to be in the Hall of Fame. I want to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. I think it's a logical, reachable, attainable goal but a very hard goal but still very attainable. But I really want to work again, man. I want to get back in the ring and show people I can still do the Buff Bagwell strut and execute the Blockbuster from the second rope. I want to be Buff Bagwell in the ring," said Buff Bagwell. [1:46 - 2:10]
