It should be noted that WWE chose him to be in their first "WCW" match, to test the idea of keeping the product going.
They had plans for the guy, and he stunk out the joint so bad they not only shit-canned him, but a lot of what they were going to do with the WCW in general.
Oddly enough, the other candidate for said "WCW" match with Booker T was someone else who should have made the list... Lance Storm. Ah, what could have been.

Honestly, Bagwell was never stellar in the ring. He just had "the look" and was insanely over in spite of his premature balding. (He also fit with the "throwing him out of the building" spot at the end) It only made sense they chose a guy who would get a huge pop as opposed to the guy who would have an excellent match and could have been pushed as the only guy who won so many titles in WCW, he was giving them away.
