10 Things You Didn't Know About Marc Mero

1. He Still Has The Badd Blaster

Shooting confetti out into the crowd, Johnny B. Badd carried a cannon with him to ringside during his stint as a babyface. Known as the 'Badd Blaster', the prop was designed to entertain and endear Marc Mero to WCW fans. It was pure show business. 

To this day, Mero still has the item in his collection. Upon leaving WCW in 1996, the wrestler decided to bring the curtain down on that chapter of his career by throwing out a lot of his costumes. Placing most of his robes and flamboyant clothing into big bags, he hurled most of his Johnny B. Badd outfits into the trash.

This is something that Mero regrets, because he now realises it was stupid to chuck away so many items that have memories and sentimental value attached to them. He was never going to use them in the WWF, so he figured they had to go. Somehow, the Badd Blaster survived, and it's still in his house today.

For the record, Mero doesn't use it as part of his presentations in schools!
