Buff Bagwell recently spoke on the Cheap Heat Productions Podcast, where he revealed he once spoke to WWE’s Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis about making his return to WWE.
“I even offered Laurinaitis, when he was running things, I offered him, I said, ‘Look, bring me in for a month, bring me in for two weeks, bring me in for a week,'” said Bagwell. “Whatever you wanna decide to bring me in for, bring me in for.’ I said, ‘I’ll wrestle it for free.’ I said, ‘Pay for my trans[port], but I’ll wrestle it for free.'”
