In a recent appearance on the “Going Broadway Podcast,” Marcus “Buff” Bagwell shared his insights into if wins and losses really matter in wrestling due to the pre-determined nature of the business.
Initially drawing comparisons to life in general, Bagwell delved into being instilled with the mindset of always trying to be a winner. He said,
“It’s all about winning and losing, man. I mean, in anything you do. I mean, since I was a kid, I mean, it’s about winning and losing. It’s about you’re out; you’re safe. You won; I lost. I won; you lost. I was first; you’re second. I mean, that’s how my life was as three boys growing up in a house, and there was no gray area about winning and losing.”
Buff Bagwell then proceeded to make his stance clear on the subject, also adding that wrestlers that portray that they do not care about wins and losses are either not being true to one of three – others, themselves or the wrestling business itself.
“But, people go, including ‘the boys,’ they go, ‘Well, you know, that’s crazy to complain about winning or losing. I just wish I was under contract. I’d never bitch if I was under contract. I’d never complain if I was under contract.’ Bullshit. You are gonna complain under contract because if you don’t, you’re the only one that don’t.”
