Marc Mero (born July 9, 1960) is an American retired amateur boxer and professional wrestler, as well as a motivational speaker. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) under his real name and with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) under the ring name Johnny B. Badd. Today, Marc Mero contributes much of his time to the nonprofit organization he founded in 2007, Champion of Choices.

Mero was heavily pushed as a mid-carder as “Johnny B. Badd” in WCW during the early 1990s. He won the promotion’s World Television Championship three times during the course of his career before departing the company due to creative differences in 1996. He would then compete in WWF under his real name, making his debut at WrestleMania XII and briefly held the Intercontinental Championship. He would then feud with his wife Sable for the next two years before departing in 1998. Mero’s last mainstream appearance was in TNA, where he wrestled sporadically in the mid-2000s.

Mero was born in Buffalo, New York. His parents divorced when he was eight years old, with his mother supporting him and his two siblings by working two jobs. At the age of 12, Mero began playing hockey, eventually becoming his league’s Most Valuable Player. In 1973, Mero’s family relocated to Liverpool, New York, where Mero played for the Mid State Youth Hockey League. At age 15, Mero began playing for the Syracuse Stars Junior Hockey Team.

Mero began playing football in his senior year at Liverpool High School, with his team winning the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Title under the tutelage of future University of Central Florida coach George O’Leary. In the same year, Mero began training as a boxer under Golden Gloves coach Ray Rinaldi. Mero went on to win four New York State titles, including the New York Golden Gloves tournament. Mero intended to become a professional boxer, but his career was sidelined after his nose was broken in an accident. He briefly pursued a bodybuilding career, placing third in the Mr. New York State bodybuilding contest.

In 1992, Mero married Rena “Sable” Greek, adopting her daughter from a previous marriage. The couple separated in mid-2003 and divorced amicably in 2004. Marc married for the second time on July 11, 2009 to Darlene Spezzi. Mero is a Christian.
