Pro wrestling Legend Buff Bagwell, under the knee leg amputation


The Pro Wrestling Legend Marcus “Buff” Bagwell, at the age of 55 due to complications from a car accident from 2020, subjected an amputation over the knee. After years of operations, infections and a long, exhausting recovery, his struggle has now become deeply challenging.

The crash of 2020

The 2020 accident occurred in Cobb County, Georgia, when Bagwell lost control of his Chevrolet Tahoe while navigating a curve. According to the Cobb County police authority, the vehicle crossed a median, struck through a metal fence and collided with a toilet at a transit bus station station.

Bagwell suffered critical injuries and was taken to the hospital. This was not his first brush with danger. He was also in a serious car accident in 2012 and emphasized the physical tribute that his body suffered.

A legacy of strength

Steve Stasiak from Buch Pro Wrestlers announced the news in a Facebook post and celebrated Bagwell's permanent spirit: “We share this photo with a heavy heart today, but also with deep respect for a man who is still big in the spirit. Buff has this business, body, his body, his energy, his charisma and he has fans for a lifetime for a lifetime.

“Everyone processes such messages in their own way. But if you have a good memory of buff when you have ever smiled when you hit the ring if you just wanted to send something.”
