WWE Hall of Famer and former WCW President Eric Bischoff recently took to his 83 Weeks podcast, where he discussed a number of topics such as his decision of putting Buff Bagwell in the nWo and how there could have been a great backstory.
Eric Bischoff said:
“I think putting Riggs into the nWo and because of the backstory with Bagwell and his relationship with Lex Luger and Sting and the Steiner Brothers who were at that point in time were definitively WCW guys, right. Much like Ric Flair would have been smarter really would have been. Putting Bagwell in the nWo checked a couple of boxes. But, absolutely you’re right and there could have been some great story there between Riggs and the nWo and Buff as he was WCW flag waving you know cheerleader for the WCW brand it would have been a much better choice no question about it.”
Eric Bischoff also discussed how Buff Bagwell was a better heel than a babyface.
Eric Bischoff said:
“He walks to the ring and he’s subconsciously he’s a heel the minute he comes through the curtain whether he wants to be or not to a certain segment of the audience.”
