Buff Bagwell Appears On TNA Impact, Says He Hopes To Return To The Ring

Buff Bagwell made an appearance on this week’s episode of TNA Impact and said he wants to return to the ring. Thursday night’s show saw the former WCW and WWE star appear in an interview segment with Gia Miller on the stage. Bagwell praised TNA’s growth and thanked his faith for helping him get through his difficult experiences, discussing his leg leg amputation from last year.

Bagwell then apologized for his behavior over the last 25 years, and said that if the fans get behind him he will walk down to the ring and wrestle for TNA on more time.

That brought out Frankie Kazarian, who mocked Bagwell and said that he could maybe hop down the aisle but isn’t walking anywhere. He said he loved the Buff from 20 years ago but said this is pathetic and Buff lost some stuff. Kazarian said he would love nothing more than to take Buff apart right now, but Buff is half the man he used to be, and Kazarian is twice the man Buff ever was.

That brought out Elijah, who said it was Buff’s night and no one is going to stop that, and when the day comes he hopes Buff will do him the honor of walking with him. You can see the segment below.

Kazarian and Elijah will be on opposite teams at TNA Sacrifice as Kazarian and AJ Francis will battle Elijah and The Home Town Man. That show airs Friday night on TNA+.
