Bagwell contracted a staph infection quickly after, much of which he spoke about on his YouTube Channel. I'm Getting My Leg Amputated!

Buff Bagwell, a former WCW wrestler from 1991-2001, said Friday he plans to return to the ring after having surgery to amputate his right leg.

Bagwell’s decision to amputate his right leg came after he suffered an infection from another procedure on his injured knee following his 2020 car crash.

Marcus "Buff" Bagwell had his right leg amputated after a five-year span in which he was unable to bend his knee, the result of a car accident in 2020.
