On his Hall of Fame podcast, WCW Legend Booker T revealed that he turned down an appearance on season 5 episode of Dark Side of the Ring on Buff Bagwell, which aired on March 12, 2024.
Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer said:
“Dark Side of the Ring reached out to me to be part of some of these series and episodes, but I declined because anything that happened with Buff Bagwell and I, anything I have to say about Buff Bagwell, it’s private.
It’s something that’s internal, something that he and I know, and I’m not going to expose it or put it out there.
I don’t think the world really needs to know what happened with Bagwell and I, and that night.
The way it’s written is the way it’s going to be told from here on out. I won’t have anything to say about it.”
During this episode, Bagwell alleged that “Hurricane” Shane Helms called him a drug addict during a training session, leading to a physical altercation where Bagwell claims to have slapped Helms.
Bagwell further asserts that Helms retaliated by striking him with a frozen bottle of water, resulting in Buff needing 24 staples for his Monday Night RAW debut.
Buff suggests that his WWF release stemmed from being blamed for instigating the confrontation with Helms.
Responding to criticism on Twitter, Helms refuted Bagwell’s version of events, stating that witnesses present during the altercation would dispute Bagwell’s claims:
“I didn’t either. Buff is a lying POS. Always has been. There were witnesses there and NONE agree with Buff.
He used to blame Jim Ross too. Blamed everyone except the man in the mirror. Nothing wrong with failing at something, but accountability is key. Everyone associated with that episode of Dork Side can suck a$$.”
A fan tweeted:
“I’m not justifying anything he’s done. He was recently on an episode of Busted Open when DDP was a co-host & Buff sounds like a changed man & accepted responsibility for sh*t he’s done. I think with that said we should stop with the negativity towards him when he’s trying to change.”
Hurricane replied:
“He literally just went on a show and told a bunch of lies. No more second chances from me.”
