Fightful is sad to inform fans of the passing of Judy Bagwell.
Bagwell is the mother of former WCW star Buff Bagwell and appeared on WCW television on multiple occasions alongside her son. Judy was infamously involved in the "Judy Bagwell on a Forklift" match at New Blood Rising 2000 and was briefly a former WCW Tag Team Champion alongside Rick Steiner following Halloween Havoc 1998.
Rebuilding Buff, Bagwell's podcast, first told fans of the news of Judy's passing, which occurred on Friday, November 5.
It is with a heavy heart we must announce that this past Friday the matriarch of the Bagwell family has passed away. Judy Bagwell was blessed with three amazing children, a loving husband and so many great memories over the years. Thank you to everyone that has asked about her
