Other Facts: -Son of WCW personality Judy Bagwell
-Brother of pro wrestler John Bagwell
-Was a male stripper right out of high school.
-Discovered by Missy Hyatt. They lived in the same apartment complex. Initially, Marcus approached her to find a way to get his brother in the wrestling business. It was her idea for him to become a wrestler.
-Trained by Steve Lawler
-Competed for a time as Christian. He is not to be confused with Christian Cage.
-As Fabian, he used the nickname "The Fabulous"
-Appeared on an episode of "Vanity Insanity". He had gotten calf implants and his body was not accepting him. He asked if it was possible for him to keep the implants in and was told that that would require the amputation of his legs. He actually considered that for a brief time.
-One of the first former WCW wrestlers to sign with WWF. He debuted on July 2, 2001 against WCW World Champion Booker T, but the match was so bad that WWF scrapped all plans for WCW as a separate brand. That match, plus allegations of Bagwell faking an injury a day later on the Smackdown tapings, an altercation with Shane Helms and Bagwell's mother Judy calling the offices trying negotiate time off for him to heal AND complaining about his travel arrangements, led to Bagwell being released from the WWF.
-Appeared in the movies "Day of the Warrior", "L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies: Return to Savage Beach", "Terror Tract", and "4:GO" as well as episodes of "Charmed", "Living the Dream", and "Burke's Law".
