Wrestler Buff Bagwell has its right leg amputated after 2020 car accident

Marcus “Buff” Bagwell recently got the leg amputated after a car accident in 2020.

On one video Published on Youtube on Friday, July 18, world champion Wrestling Star, 55, revealed that he had an amputation over his knee on his right leg due to injuries he suffered in a car accident in August 2020.

With his fiancé Stacy Brown in the video, Bagwell reminded the event and stated: “I had been drinking, but only a few beers … I go down the road with a diet coke, and I’m gone … it was like a dream.”

“I remember cars, saw faces look at me like“ What are you doing? “… (and) somehow I went from the wrong exit and I ended up behind the mall, and somehow, that’s where everything came to the end, where I drove through a bathroom for men and women, he continued.

Photos from the crash were then shown in the video. A brick building had collapsed and Bagwell’s vehicle could be seen destroyed.

Bagwell said the effects of the crash caused the dashboard on his vehicle to meet him “in my right patellar tendons”, which destroyed his kneecap.

“It began all this five -year journey to try to fix my leg,” he explained further and also added that no one else was injured or died because of the accident.

After the crash, Bagwell said he stayed in the hospital for “several weeks” and had 39 to 40 operations for knee change, flap operations and repairs of extension mechanism.

“It led me into the deepest, darkest (alcohol) addiction that I have ever been to,” he recalled. “My leg doesn’t heal, and so I was super depressed.”

Bagwell said he then went into rehabilitation to drink in August 2022. Shortly thereafter he encountered more health complications, and he had a last high button for the right knee extension mechanism, but it “became infected” and “led to the amputation.”

Despite his injuries, Bagwell recently credited as “the best years of my life”, where I say, “I’m not angry with it in any way.”

Bagwell also said in his video that he plans to eventually return to the ring after his surgery.

“I will be able to run, and I will be able to run better. I want to get back in the ring, hit the ropes, have a match,” he said. “You don’t have to give up on anything like it … I will show the world that you can have as good life with or without legs.”
