Marcus Bagwell Addresses Recent Arrest and Sobriety Update November 2023

[@topherd1011]

I am so happy for you man. You’re looking sooo good and clear headed. 10+ years from heroin here… a day at a time is all we have. It’s all ANYONE has. We’re just keenly aware of it.

[@braindeadrichard]

Congratulations bro! 10 years is no easy feat!

[@thomass789]

Wow! TEN YEARS! Incredible, my friend! Happy for you. 💙

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

Congrats. 8 years clean myself and I know that’s no easy feat. You’re doing the work. You’re making the changes

[@KatraPlessure]

How do you contact buff ? Im a addict i keep falling off the wagon. This video spoke to me

[@kongboshi]

Around 1997 or 1998, I visited Six Flags over Georgia. Standing in line for one of the roller coasters, I could hardly believe my eyes. I walked up to the behemoth of a man ahead of me in line and said, "Excuse me, sir. Are you Marcus 'Buff' Bagwell?" He said he was and signed whatever scrap of paper I managed to find at the moment. I had purchased the pen only a few minutes earlier in the Six Flags gift shop because I had seen Sergeant Craig "the Pitbull" Pitman walking nearby. I managed to get his autograph, then "Buff's." Needless to say, I was on cloud nine. Glad to see the successes these guys are having with Steve and DDP's support. I was a big fan of Page back in the WCW days (even before the championship run), but I daresay I'm an even greater fan of his "post-wrestling" work and vocation.

[@mcbubbles2492]

I went sober with him and still going!! Back in oct '23. Messaged him and it took a couple months for a reply but it meant the world. Success!!

[@PaulBrandano]

Marcus. I began drinking when I was 13 years old. By 21 years old I was in more than 10 detoxes.. It was so freaking hard to quit because I was at the partying age and socializing was all part of being a teenager.. I almost died on 40 klonopins and Vodka. I was hardly alive. Now, im 59 years old and I havent drank in 30 something years. I thought there was no way I can go throw life feeling normal. ( my interpretation of normal ) . Brother, It really does get easier, The longer you stay away. I'm actually glad you are on youtube explaining yourself. This tells others that you really care how your percieved and thats a good thing although You don't have to proove anything to anyone except yourself. I am wishing you the best Buff, You can do it. DONT STOP TRYING.. Thank you DDP for making a difference in peoples lives. That is much more memorable than being a wrestling star. God bless.

[@Meatball2022]

He looks and sounds so clear. Good for you, Buff!!!

[@jason_1970]

This isn't aging well with the news he was arrested for drugs and a DUI

[@davidjkus]

Bro just got arrested for DUI yesterday. Lol

[@larrydeaton5452]

Congratulations man! I love to see stories of people like you (especially wrestlers whom I watched and rooted for though out their careers) getting their lives back together and DDP is an awesome guy for helping.

[@Baron_Alexander_Renfield]

Way to go Buff! It's great to see such an amazing milestone.

[@theresastewart1279]

Cheering you on. My hubby and I are praying for you. You got this. We have to do one day at a time w hubby having leukemia 11 yrs now and having had kidney cancer surgery 2020 then adrenal surgery this summer. I had two uncles that lived w us that my mom loved through and supported them. They were both successful. My uncles both had such great outcomes. Both had DUIs and one went through a convelesent hospital brick sidewalk wall. Miracle no one got hurt. You can get through this buddy. We can pray for each other..this has been a rough time w my hubby being laid off at Baker Hughes two yrs into treatment w his surgeries. You are A winner, you are a success. You can make it and you can do it. I lived w an Italian daddy..I know DDP is cheering you on and all of us are too. Im cheering my hubby on to get The DVDs to be able to exercise. Remember we got your back in prayers. We are your village. I know what it is like seeing my uncles grow through it. DDP is too such an inspiration to all of us here :). Know you got people pulling for you here like me and my hubby.

[@thomass789]

This is beautiful Theresa, best thoughts for you and your husband. Thank you for sharing this, it touched me.

[@waltbbadd]

Good for you, Buff! You've got me beat on sobriety time, am almost up to the big 365 myself. You're the man, congrats!

[@richard35charter]

13,567 days sober by the grace of God. Keep living one day at a time

[@seanmccloskey7873]

And also by your hard work and dedication and you deserve the same recognition as the guy above.

[@1joshjosh1]

Kick a** Mr.Buff. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@nmartin5551]

I appreciate his talking about the relation between being sober and then having to deal with emotions and stress. Happily I haven’t had substance issues, but stress and emotions are a challenge. Thanks for sharing!

[@memig9984]

I met him this year at Comic Con. Hes supa nice. Im proud of you keep it up

[@joemirotta1242]

I’m proud of you Marcus. Keep up the good work

[@MDMHollow1]

Keep going it’s inspirational how you keep going and staying sober despite the setbacks in life it motivates me to keep up with my own sobriety

[@justinturner5150]

Congratulations, Been working my drug free program since 10-12-2017. Days of sobriety lead into weeks follow into months, months turn into years from progress not perfection.God Bless you on your program and recovery! I'm proud of you Marcus!

[@DirtDiggersUK]

Excellent Marcus. I am very proud of you. It's nice to watch someone finally meet themselves.. be well. you got this, today.

[@boccia2409]

Been a fan since nwo days and its great to see your doing well. Its surreal to see you and ddp , snake and the late hall. Ive seen all of you but jake , wrestle several times . Thank you

[@mattwist5588]

That’s awesome! So proud of you. Stay strong.

[@kvonzwild8979]

Never been an addict. Never respected addicts who continually abusing. Do respect recovery and going clean very much. Can't imagine how hard it is to break addiction and become a better human being. Keep up the struggle and win the battle. Its important to show others it can be done.

[@jtstoud]

As a recovering alcoholic I can say, it truly is harder to deal with the problems that cause us to drink or do drugs than it is to stop using. I am a work in progress and I am trying everyday to be a better person but it is a daily struggle. All we can do is take it one day at a time. Keep up the good work Marcus!!!

[@Qurisx]

Buffs Story reminds me of my dads addiction. Im so happy to hear hes getting help. I wish my father did that.

[@lancehoward8257]

It's a amazing what you and others have accomplished with DDP. You are an inspiration. Keep up the awesome work.

[@mking9446I]

1-13-17 last time i was on the sauce. The easiest thing was not taking the drugs....because I was in rehab and under the always watching eye. The hard part...was choosing to stay. Sounds so cheesy to hear it, but it is like every1 says. I got a new lease in life. My biggest accomplishment, is adopting my son, hearing him saw I love you dad gives me everything I need to remember why that part of my life is dead and gone. Stay strong, he's buff and he's got the stuff.

[@floydraabe6959]

So proud of you! Keep up the hard work brother!

[@bara7331]

ok thank you, i will

[@gilrivera1813]

Congratulations Marcus, keep it up brother. There are a lot of people who are rooting for you and love you. 🤙 Take care and God bless 🙏

Thank you, Buff, and thank you, DDPY

[@dougbenedetto3906]

You are an inspiration to so many..I really love the fact that you are really able to see life through a clear mind now..Good on you!!!

[@MBFModernHomesteading]

AWESOME!

[@ericfortner53]

Proud of you Mr. Bagwell and everyone else who’s sober. This New Year’s I’ll have six years.

[@Qurisx]

Buff - My birthday is in August. For my birthday Id love to hear that you have successfully made it another year brother. You got this.

[@coreyyandle2142]

Best you've looked since the 90s brother I'm so happy for you! Been a huge fan since I was a kid. Keep pushing man.👊

[@Magnums_Chronicles]

Congratulations!! I just watched your Transformation video on DDPY yesterday and how you saved SCOTTY’s life. I just finished reading an article about OVERCOMING SUGAR/FOOD ADDICTION and how it’s the exact same process for getting clean from Drugs and Alcohol. There’s just less stigma because it’s FOOD and it’s available EVERYWHERE. I started a Carnivore Diet on March 15, 2023 after discovering that I weighed 528 lbs. I lost 63 lbs in the first 4 months without even trying, but then I hit a plateau and I was only losing 3-5 lbs in a month. Then my 50th Birthday arrived and I decided to have Cake and Ice Cream, and I ended up relapsing over the next 4 months. I got “sober” for most of December, and I gave myself permission to eat cookies, and candy, and mashed potatoes, corn, and stuffing over 3 days during Christmas. I unknowingly gained 20 lbs in January after adding a daily Protein Shake Smoothie into my diet. I’ve been eating mostly clean again for the last 2 weeks, except I have allowed myself to have 2 CHEAT DAYS per week. I just recommitted fully to the CARNIVORE DIET and for the next 30 Days I am going to do OMAD - Eat One Meal A Day and avoid carbs and sugar completely. Today is DAY 3.

[@audiebl48]

I’ve been watching you on TV since you started in WCW. I am so glad that you went to DDP. I am so proud of you!

[@HeyYoSurveyTime]

Uncle Buff, you're still the stuff big man. Huge congrats on your sobriety. God bless you and DDP

[@corporatemcmahon2815]

He’s BUFF…

[@MickPsyphon]

WTG, Marcus! (Buff) 😋👍 It looks like you're pointed the right way. You *can* overcome! We're praying for you, mate! Stick with Page; and you'll feel the love of true friendship. Never forget: It's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up, that's the measure of who you are. God bless Diamond Dallas Page and everyone who works with him to help others. You all make the world a beautiful place to be.

[@1joedaher]

So happy for you, NEVER give up on yourself. You made a very powerful and insightful video that should help almost everyone who views it !!!

[@MartyCone8669]

Aye Buff!!! 4 years clean today brother!! You can do it!

[@fd2blk78]

Good for you man. Motivating story.

[@jjinc1957]

Absolutely one of the best people I got to meet down at the PC in May. So incredibly excited for Marcus and excited for where he is now able to reach! Progress, not Perfection: from an Al-Anon supporter ❤

[@berkajr3685]

So glad for you, and to be that honest about it, that takes balls to do. Keep it up and be positive.

[@lesleyhandsmith4852]

I've loved this fella for about 25 years. I had the opportunity to meet him when I was wrestling in Tupelo a few times and we got to talk a little bit and I'll never forget that. Keep going on and keep showing them what you can do. ❤

Thoughts n prayers for you Buff! U got this. Keep ur head up n chest out with humility and confidence.

[@JimReuterskiold]

I hope that Marcus knows how many people are pulling for him. Him knowing that he's got a temper that is stealing his happiness is half the battle.

Buff bagwell is a legend.. props to him making positive changes, recognizing his issues and owning up. He’s crushing in sobriety. Hell yeah, man. Good dude.

[@TricksterBloom]

Still Buff, still The Stuff!! My dude you look amazing - you ARE amazing, thankyou for being you and well done for every single accomplishment! You got this man, and I'll always be cheering for you

[@Kelorien]

Buff Bagwell is an amazing person in and out of the ring. I have met him in person and will always support him. I am on a fitness journey and I am taking it one day at a time and I have reached my first of 8 weight loss goals.

[@MarkDaMak]

Good to hear Marcus, keep up the good effort. I met you at comic con this past October 2023. I have a name u never seen spelt that way. Happy thanks giving, Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you too Macus. I'll personally congratulate u at comic con 2024. Always love hearing stories about how people on your side see things. I'm considered a lame in some circles but I don't care what people think. I function and live for myself or if I don't nobody is there to pick me up. Been like that since I was very young.

[@tyriffic16760]

Congrats Buff, Keep taking it one day at a time! The best is yet to come!

[@Ken-dk8ev]

Awesome to hear. Rooting for you MB.

[@JadedMax]

Holy shit. I cant believe how much better you look. Holy fuck crap

[@dethaddr]

Buff, keep up the GREAT work man! I know from experience that the temper thing can be a real buzzard, but I too, conquered that, as I know you have the ability too as well. The first step is to think before you act instead of just reacting. That's when you realize what you've been seeing in retrospect, and instead of saying "I COULD have handled things better" you'll be able to say "I COULDN'T have handled things any better". Hang in there, we're cheering for you!

[@GlennTeague]

Wow it's crazy I met you back in probably 2007 you worked a show in Ardmore Oklahoma it was a pleasure you were kind to me I was just somebody nobody trying to make it your strength to overcome what you have is awesome I like your story I'm a big fan now!

[@bl00sub]

Glad I found this video! Good stuff, Buff! Keep it up!

[@BlackAdder1970]

Great job! Keep it up! My Dad died from alcohol related diementia. He tried rehab 6 times but sadly never got away from it until he had to go into a "home" because he wouldn't stop. My mother was dealing with health problems and just couldn't look after him any longer. His mind was already going by then. It was a tough decision, but my Mom and I agreed it would be better for my Dad to be placed in a "home" Stay safe stay sober

[@loretta3201]

Marcus, I'm so proud of you . when I interviewed you at LPW show a year ago you were still accepting all this. I see a different you now. Keep it up and congrats on your sobriety. ❤❤🎉❤

This makes my soul happy to hear, one of my most favorite wrestlers when I was growing up.

[@TheJames-Edward]

I can tell by seeing you recently doing some wrestling and this video here that you've cleaned up. You look great man, congratulations on everything you have done. Thank you to DDP as well for everything you've done and do for other people.

[@TrunksXV]

I saw Buff over the weekend. He’s got some mobility issues at the moment, in ring days are over, but I think he has the right people around him now. I told him to keep on the right track and keep trying. He’s got some issues, but he’s really trying now. Keep trying Buff, we are rooting for you.

[@nxtsolidx]

973 Days Sober from Weed… doesn’t sound like much but big difference mentally

[@michaelsantini7396]

That’s awesome and so glad you are clean

[@lionhearted7450]

Remember meeting this dude at Hara Arena which is in Dayton, Ohio. It’s now closed and was closed before the tornado tore it apart, but nothing is cooler when your a 7-8 year old with your 6-7 brother with you and he signed my Nike hat and 8 X 10! Hope you continue your journey!

[@Kevin-hh5oc]

You're The Man Buff

[@TheHannibalTV]

Hope this helps others

[@TheStuport]

I've got Ten years and 4 plus months....but....the most important concept of my sobriety has always been about staying clean and sober TODAY! It's the second thing I'm grateful for everyday. The first thing I'm grateful for is to be allowed to open my eyes in the morning and be allowed to stay another day to play on Our Lord's Big Blue spinning Marble. Yes, it seems as though the world is off it's Axis, but my sobriety keeps me grounded and grateful and thankful. Stay strong everyone and Keep Strutting and Smiling! 👋

[@Devildog1979]

Proud of you brother, went thru it too!!! Sux for a while, but we're men and we can handle anything cuz God made us that way!! God Bless you man n keep grinding!!!

[@MikeLavin]

Buff, you look and sound great Very happy for you

[@Dman216]

Congrats buff keep it up man and live it at 90%

[@notta3d]

Damn I could see immediately when he started talking that Marcus was different. The last few videos I watched of him on podcasts were hard to watch, but he looks and sounds fantastic! Good for you Marcus. Like you said there will be bumps, but just hang on and get through it. I'm happy for him.

[@TheOfficialDJHits]

Reply from Buff about his reported DUI, strange timing with this video though ''Still sober despite the reports - unfortunately whenever I get a violation in the DUI Court Program it lists my original offense from 3 years ago 😞 I did serve 24 hours for losing my temper Thurs-Fri and I’m working keeping my cool every day.''

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Congratulations Buff! You got this. 💙
