Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 Billion, and practically broke the internet. Almost everyone had something or the other to say about this purchase, and not all were positive.

Here is why Musk purchased the social media platform – he wants to enable free speech so that no one’s ideas or thoughts are restricted or limited. This was something Twitter followed prior to the purchase as a part of their regulations’ implementations.

Following the purchase, some criticized Musk for his mission toward free speech. They believe enabling free speech could backfire in terms of hate speech or misinformation. However, The Tesla CEO assured people that he wants to curb the restriction of free speech which goes beyond the law.

Will Elon Musk enter the pro-wrestling industry?

When the criticisms continue to pour, Musk stopped thinking about explaining free speech and posted a tweet about purchasing Coca-Cola. This gathered quite a bit of attention considering the nature of the tweet.

Keeping this in mind, WCW Legend Marcus Bagwell urged Musk to purchase WCW, and well, a time-machine too.

This essentially means maybe Musk could go back in time with the time machine and purchase WCW before Vince McMahon got his hands on it. But, since, what’s done is done, The SpaceX and Tesla CEO could revive the wrestling promotion by purchasing it.

Marcus Bagwell refused to be in the WWE Hall of Fame

No one is saying Bagwell, who was known as Buff Bagwell in WWE, is against WWE. However, nobody is denying it either.

It so happened that WWE wanted to induct him to the Hall of Fame, but Bagwell refused because he was never a core part of The nWo.

“They actually called me to do the Hall of Fame thing,” Bagwell claims. “I’ll be honest with you I said ‘I don’t want to be part of a group in the Hall of Fame.’ I’d be like Brett Favre getting a Hall of Fame ring because of the Green Bay Packers.” H/t Sportster

However, Bagwell and WWE did have a brief issue from 2016 to 2017 over royalties from Bagwell featuring on WWE Network. But, the issue was dismissed in December 2017.

No wonder he wants the revival of WCW!
