Former WCW star Buff Bagwell recently tackled several topics in an interview on the Pancakes and Powerslams podcast. One subject was CM Punk’s debut at UFC 203, which Bagwell says was a “bad, bad decision.” Bagwell also questioned CM Punk’s popularity and ability to draw money in pro wrestling.

“I was rooting for him because it makes us all look good. We’re all pro wrestlers,” Bagwell said, “but, instead, he goes out there and gets his brain beaten out.” He added that when “you go out and get beat up real bad, that is really bad.”

Bagwell explains that CM Punk wouldn’t pass the “Walmart test” that he feels promoters should use when evaluating talent.

“Here’s how I look at it. If I was a promoter like Vince McMahon or Ted Turner, if I was trying to make money in the wrestling industry, I would judge it by having a person walk through Walmart,” he said. “If CM Punk walked through Walmart even as popular as he is, he’s not going to get noticed as much as Hulk Hogan walking through Walmart The reason why I say Walmart, is that’s our fan base.”

Another wrestler Bagwell took issue with was Samoa Joe. He called Joe a “fat, out of shape guy” who shouldn’t be in a wrestling ring. He said Samoa Joe was mad at him one time because he was in the main event of an independent show instead of Joe. “I’ve not heard or seen anyone ever draw a dollar with him,” Bagwell added.

He indicated that Joe might have also taken issue with Bagwell being named Sting’s partner in a 2006 TNA angle instead of Joe. “To the world of wrestling fans, who’s going to be Sting’s tag team partner? The options are Lex Luger, Marcus Bagwell, and Samoa Joe. I mean, who in the heck is Samoa Joe? And Luger wasn’t fit enough, so I fit the part perfectly,” Bagwell said.

Bagwell also spoke on his lawsuit against WWE, saying his lawyer found a “loophole” and the company owes him quarterly royalties from his matches on the WWE Network.

Randy Orton worked a full singles match at Saturday’s WWE house show in Springfield, MO. Orton used the RKO to defeat Bray Wyatt. Orton did take bumps but worked what was described as a conservative style.

As noted, Orton was pulled from last Sunday’s WWE Backlash match against Wyatt as he was reportedly not cleared to compete due to a concussion that happened during the SummerSlam loss to Brock Lesnar. Orton did take part in a backstage beatdown segment that night and later got physical in the ring, delivering an RKO to Wyatt during his match with Kane.

The next night saw Orton team with John Cena at a SmackDown house show but he worked a very limited role.

I don't know if you guys have seen this silly shit where Miz is negotiating his Smackdown contract and it's not going well, so the speculation is that he'll go to Raw. I hope that isn't the case because he'll just get lost in the shuffle over on Raw. They already have too much stuff going on for Miz to hang out in the main event. Whereas on last week's Smackdown when he beat up Chinnigan to join the main event he felt like he belonged. I know they're trying to make Ziggler and Miz relevant again, but the reason it's working for Miz is that promo he did and now he's been more aggressive all around. So Miz has changed where Ziggler really hasn't. Miz needs to remain on Smackdown.

Good news is that Miz will be staying on SmackDown - apparently he and D-Bry have agreed terms.
