Buff Bagwell, Crazzy Steve make appearances on TNA Impact
Both former WCW star Buff Bagwell and former TNA Digital Media Champion Crazzy Steve made surprise appearances on Thursday’s TNA Impact.
From our Joseph Collins:
“Gia Miller interviewed Buff Bagwell in front of the live crowd. Buff thanked God for being with him every step of the way on his journey, which has included getting his leg amputated last year. Bagwell apologized for his behavior over the last twenty years, and promised that if the fans get behind him, he would walk to the ring and wrestle for TNA one more time.
Frankie Kazarian came out to mock Bagwell “walking” to the ring. Kazarian said Buff was “half the man he used to be” while Kazarian was “twice the man he ever was.” Elijah appeared to chase Kazarian off, and offered to walk down to the ring with Bagwell.”
Bagwell wrestled four times for TNA back in 2002, even appearing on their very first show.
The clip of Bagwell’s return can be viewed below.

Crazzy Steve’s return came during a filmed segment with Rosemary and Allie, seen below. It’s unknown if he has re-signed with TNA or if this was a one-off appearance.
Steve hadn’t appeared in TNA since April 2024, but has remained active on the indies since then in addition to a brief NWA run. He made his AEW debut in a January 2025 dark match, but never appeared in the company again.
