As Johnny Badd, Marc projected the role of a “flamboyant” and “free-spirited” man. People got drawn to his character in the ring. And it wasn’t long before his fights led to his success, becoming a multi-millionaire. Hence, he achieved his dreams as a little boy and bought everything he wanted.

Downward Path
For 14 years, Marc lived what he called “a crazy lifestyle.” Amidst success, his life revolved around drugs, alcohol, and pills pleasures.
Then in 1996, the World Wrestling Federation finally recruited him to join them. So, another dream was unlocked in the wrestler’s life as he stood in the arena of Wrestle Mania. But despite the limelight, Marc’s life got way out of hand when his marriage ended in 2004. That’s when he hit rock bottom.

One day, feeling fed up with his situation, Marc decided to end his life. So, he took his handgun, walked into the shower, and planned to pull the trigger toward his temple. Then suddenly, a picture of hell flashed into his mind. Following that vision, he pointed his gun away and cried.
Marc fell down on his knees, weeping, begging God’s forgiveness. And the next thing he knew, he was never the same again.
“I just accepted Jesus and my whole life changed,” the former professional wrestler remarked.
