Champion of Choices with Marc Mero

Marc Mero — WCW's Johnny B. Badd, former WWF star, Golden Gloves boxer, and one of the most unexpectedly real conversations you're going to hear on this podcast — pulls into the Krazy Train and holds absolutely nothing back. Jasmin St. Claire and Mero swap locker room rib stories involving the Iron Sheik and Owen Hart before the whole thing takes a sharp left turn into the kind of territory most wrestlers never talk about on camera. Mero breaks down how Boris Malenko trained him, how Dusty Rhodes discovered him, and how the glitter and flashbulbs of the Johnny B. Badd era were covering up a decade-long cocaine addiction that nearly killed him — multiple overdoses included. This isn't a highlight reel. This is the wreckage and the rebuild, told by the man who lived it. Because the man who bottomed out in front of a mirror at Gold's Gym is now the man filling school auditoriums across the country with a youth speaking program that went viral thanks to Diamond Dallas Page's crew and turned into one of the most-booked anti-drug, mental health programs in America. They get into smartphones destroying an entire generation, fentanyl wiping out kids who don't even know what they're taking, WWE's schedule changes under TKO, XWF memories with Mr. Perfect, and why Marc Mero at a convention might be the most real human being in the building.
