Every Wrestling Rookie Of The Year: Where Are They Now?
32. 1991: Johnny B. Badd
Using a vaguely passing resemblance to Little Richard as his entire gimmick, Badd's early WCW work ages rather horribly, but at the time, he was an athletic stud with a distinct brand of charisma - hence why he was projected for stardom.
He made the jump to the WWF in 1996, and worked a superb match with Steve Austin at King Of The Ring - but by the time Austin started to get hot, Marc Mero's gimmick was anachronistic. Boxing shorts-wearing protective husband didn't get over, either, and he never did end up working Austin again. He ruined his main event prospects by selling for Sable in 1998.
These days, he espouses the power of positivity through his Champion of Choices non-profit.
A decent bloke by industry standards, it would seem.
