In an update on former World Championship Wrestling superstar Marcus “Buff” Bagwell, a report from entertainment website TMZ notes that Bagwell is finally breathing and eating on his own after speaking to Bagwell’s wife Judy.

Judy noted that the former WCW superstar had been hooked up to breathing tubes as doctors scrambled to treat major injuries to his face and spine, however the breathing tube was removed on Wednesday and that he is talking and eating solid food and that the doctors were really shocked that he was communicating so soon.

Judy went on to say that several former WCW friends including Sting, Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner and Diamond Dallas Page have been in touch, in addition to many others wishing Bagwell a speedy recovery stating that it has really helped him along that he’s been contacted by them.
