Although his amputation was not directly linked to wrestling, it seems that the pro wrestling lifestyle claims a lot of people in personal tragedy.

Good wishes in his recovery,

He is lucky the hospital did not kill him to collect a chinavirus2019 bounty.

Those who happen to be physically gifted, but are on no-options in life tend to be attracted to professional wrestling.

I’m sorry to hear this news. In his prime, Bagwell was making a name for himself and earning some pretty good money in WCW. When Vince McMahon bought out WCW, Bagwell was one of the wrestlers brought over to WWE. However, he was quickly let go because of some backstage incidents that did not sit well with management. From that point on Bagwell’s career never got back on track. He wrestled overseas and on the independent circuit, but never made it back to the big time. He suffered from substance abuse problems along with run-ins with the law. It’s a shame. He had the potential to be a franchise player for one of the major promotions, but his personal issues prevented that from happening.
