Recently appearing on the Who The Fook Are These Guys podcast, Buff Bagwell talked about his initial stint as member of the nWo and how he ended up not wanting to be a part of the WWE Hall Of Fame with the legendary group.

Buff explained that Eric Bischoff wasn’t a fan of his at the beginning, saying,

“Kevin Nash came to me and goes, ‘do you want to be in the nWo?’ And I go ‘are you f-cking kidding me’? I go ‘hell yeah I do.’ Believe it or not, Eric was not a big fan of mine. He became a fan of mine and we became great friends, but at first, he was not a big fan of mine. I was more of a pretty boy, a prima donna. But then, what happens to pretty boys and prima donnas in wrestling, you gotta knock somebody out. I knocked a guy out at a club one night. One punch, then the Nasty Boys counted him out.”

The five time WCW Tag Team Champion also confirmed that the three founding members of the nWo – Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall came up with the material that got the group over. He said,

“Everything you saw me do cool, or anybody else do cool in the nWo, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall or Hulk Hogan came up with it. Pretty much Scott Hall or Kevin. And that goes for this, to ‘4 Life’, ‘who did you come to see tonight WCW, or the N-W-O?’ They really the brains behind the whole thing, they were.”

Buff also explained why the nWo didn’t work in WWE and what made him turn down the offer to be in the Hall Of Fame with the group. Bagwell said,

“It just, pretty obvious, pretty quick it wasn’t going to work. There needed to be a Buff, there needed to be a Nash, a Hall, a Hogan. They actually called me to do the, you know, to do the Hall of Fame thing. I was like, I’ll be honest, I said ‘I don’t want to be part of a group in the Hall of Fame, I don’t want to be like Brett Farve getting a ring because of the Green Bay Packers.’”
