Old School Beefcake: Marcus Bagwell

Don't expect to see any Buff Bagwell pics here. I was not a fan of how WWE turned Marcus Alexander Bagwell into a ridiculous cartoon character (something they do very well with charismatic wrestlers). Instead, here's Bagwell in his earlier days as The Handsome Stranger and as one-half of the tag teams Stars and Stripes and The American Males. Read about him here. Watch Bagwell as The Handsome Stranger go up against hunky Al Perez here. (To watch more of The Handsome Stranger's matches, just type "The HandsomeStranger vs." in the YouTube search field.)



As The Handsome Stranger





With Too Cold Scorpio



Stars & Stripes: with The Patriot (aka Tom Brandi)

The American Males: with Scotty Riggs

  1. You are spot on about what the WWE did to Bagwell. They were even worse to Terry Taylor, a charismatic face from southern wrestling that they turned into the Red Rooster. It was pathetic, and It basically destroyed his career.

    1. What they did to poor Terry Taylor was a travesty.
