That is awesome! His response to Mark was especially great. And the Apollo comment could have gone the opposite way, if directed to a guy like EC3 or Ryback but of course Buff went right along with it.
I'm sure Nyla would appreciate the support and with DDP's past (not sure if still going on) with AEW maybe it will get a Buff appearance on a major wrestling program, which has sure been a while since that happened.

Sometimes nice, feelgood things happen in wrestling. Good to see Buff getting himself together and seeing him try to put good vibes out into the world.

It's not impossible. He did say he feels he has a few more matches in the tank, but obviously, I imagine his recover process is his priority right now. Still, his stepping away from wrestling didn't seem to be due to his body, so I guess it makes sense he'd feel it wouldn't be off the table.

Still, his stepping away from wrestling didn't seem to be due to his body, so I guess it makes sense he'd feel it wouldn't be off the table. I would like just an in ring acknowledgement rather than a match. It will be good for him to have a small moment in front of a big crowd as opposed to the small crowd backyard show he did some years ago or when he did the WWF match he was embarrassed. My only concern would be, would he get a Brian Christopher reaction? I know Buff he is pretty famous, for being infamous, to the fans and AEW fans I think are slightly more appreciative of the older school guys but I Don't put it past a crowd of fans to not know who someone was who was famous 20 years ago. I personally loved the Tribute to Memphis and I know it was in the early days of AEW but it seems like the legends got a minimal reaction.

The more years tick by, the more you realize the WCW/ECW Alliance were the heroes all along.

Glad to see the positivity from him on Twitter. Hopefully his recovery is going well.

There's an easy way to confirm. Text him on the number he gave out when he did the video explaining the his cameo with black eye. I sent him two messages of encouragement over a year and he responded so the number is still active.
With Heenan, it was a guy in his late 60s, early 70s who probably wasn't of the internet generation and was in the last few years of his life with serious illness. It was difficult to sign his name so probably difficult to do any kind of typing. Buff is only like 50, probably is pretty fluent in technology and has always seemed interested in getting with his fans. Still, it's been done before, people pretending to be wrestlers. With Buff I think it's less likely though def. still possible.

twitter.com/Marcbuffbagwell/status/1508550456670269440Buff thanking fans, confirming it's him, etc. It's been interesting. He's definitely not someone I expected this big redemption for, but I can't say I mind. I wonder if losing his mom and his legal struggles last year gave him the moment of clarity he needed or what, but hopefully, it sticks.

Buff is out there trying to one-up Kevin Nash on the "cool retired wrestler" scale. Seriously, though.. let this be a lesson that sometimes good people get in self-inflicted bad situations and do bad things. With the right work on their end and a good support system, anyone can turn it around and earn and deserve forgiveness.

Also, wrestlers and celebrities in general. You want good will? Just be a sound lad and everyone will think you're awesome! Buff's gone from a joke to a guy everyone's rooting for in a week. PRs not hard, just be nice!

Self-awareness and a genuine desire to be better is a massively attractive trait for anyone in the public eye. Or real life.
