I Tap Out

So you have this historic Women’s Money In The bank ladder match on your $9.99 WWE Network PPV event.

I’m watching again early morning and this has the same potency as a Triple H promo in terms of curing insomnia. Not even the strong coffee with the high caffeine is getting shit in gear.

Anyway, on with the show… try to stick around for a bit.

I kid, of course. People are probably asking “I thought Buff Bagwell retired years ago.”

But nope, he’s been active on the indy scene for a few years since the last time he was a big deal on television, which was long, long ago. I could research to say when that was, but this is just a quick blurb more than anything.

Regardless, all the best to Buff and here’s to a happy post-career life.
