10 Wrestlers Who Have Become More Inspiring Since They Retired
4. Marc Mero
If there was one thing wrestling fans could accurately say about Marc Mero, it was that the guy really knew how to be flamboyant. Whether as the 'Tutti Frutti' Johnny B. Badd, or the 'Wildman' Marc Mero, the man embraced the more colourful side of his personality, something which only helped him during his in-ring career.
Since retiring in 2006, Mero has worked as a motivational speaker, and also remains firm in his arguments against the dangers of steroid abuse, or even general use. Another born-again Christian, Marc forgoes simply discussing his own personal religious choices during talks - Mero does talk about God, but he also says that he respects those who choose against religion.
Embracing individuality and learning to love yourself seems to the crux of Mero's work, and videos exist online of the former Intercontinental Champion reducing a crowd to tears by talking about how he wished he had spent more time with his mother before she passed away, rather than selfishly living in his own muscle-bound fantasy.
