Dusty Bake Activate
Fukk your corny debates
I’d have to say so. He wasn’t a jobber, but WCW tried to push him for an entire decade and it never worked.
He started off as the young promising Marcus Alexander Bagwell, who spent 5 years as a WCW Saturday night mainstay competing for and never winning the TV title as well as competing for and winning the tag team title with partners like the Z-Man, 2 Cold Scorpio, Erik Watts, The Patriot in Stars and Stripes, Scotty Riggs in American Males, Jim Duggan, Johnny B. Badd and Alex Wright.
After half a decade of mediocrity, he joins the NWO, one of the earliest indicators that the NWO was becoming a joke. Now “Buff Bagwell,” he teamed with Scott Norton as Vicious and Delicious and they never won the tag team title together.
He got injured and returned months later in a neckbrace to be ridiculed and pushed out of a wheelchair by Hoegan. Instead of this being a perfect face turn moment, he later swerves and stays with the NWO and teams with Scott Steiner for a while.
He spent the next few years doing a lot more nothing with the NWO Wolfpac and The New Blood.
He finally got another reign as a tag team champ with what has to be at least his 10 tag team partner, Shane Douglas which is laughable in itself, only to be stripped of his half of the titles due to punching a Black WCW assistant and calling him a racial slur.
After almost now a decade of mediocrity, he’s given a new role as backstage TV announcer, at which he is awful and generates nothing but change the channel heat. Then finally he’s put in yet another tag team with the only veteran left on the roster who’s as cold as him: Lex Luger. At WCW’s last PPV Sin the pair were double-pinned by Chuck Palumbo and Sean O’Haire in about a minute-long squash match.
I don’t know what he did in WWE but I know it flopped. I also know you didn’t remember most of anything I typed. This guy had no memorable moments ever despite being given a lot of TV time, angles, tag team partners and faction memberships. I can’t think of someone with a decade + career with as many opportunities have less of an impact.
