    Buff’s story was equal parts horrific and miraculous at the same time. I’m so glad he was alright because he gave us all quality entertainment for years. Thanks, Buff.

  • @maxxpower3d6
    @maxxpower3d6 Рік тому +30

    ONE OF Vince McMahon's most laudable qualities is his total willingness to make an ass out of himself on live national TV for the sake of his product, and we're about to see his greatest moments over the next year or so of Reliving The War.
    Also, hearing Buff Bagwell talk about nearly getting paralyzed has me dreading the moment we see it happen to Droz. That's going to be a tough one to revisit.

It is a book about the life of Bret Hart written by the man himself. So far an excellent read. Very cool to have the neck injury explained by Buff Bagwell himself. So glad he was ok and able to recover and I was happy to hear Sting and Luger rode with him and cared for him in that ambulance ride.

    It's the little things they used to protect the story, character, mythos and the business.
    edit: Also it would have been cool to sell that the Devastating Chokeslam has been nullified due to the injury.

    Just as we get the news that Vince McMahon is demanding to come back in power before the current upcoming TV deals. He literally is his on-screen character.

    Well, I have now seen every episode of Reliving the War so far. I never thought this day would come, and now I am forced to wait until Thursday every week to see more. My blood has run cold.

    damn the stuffy buffy was on. thats cool dude. im not into wrestling anymore but I do remember the monday night wars. your content is like reliving my late teens again. we used to have the tv in my dads room (wwe) and my room (wcw) on at the same time. we would always run back and forth to see what was going on. good times
