Though he made a name for himself in boxing and professional wrestling, Marc Mero found his life purpose as a motivational speaker. For almost 10 years, the former WWE Intercontinetal Champion has been in front of crowds in America, Canada and even Russia sharing his message. Speaking at schools, churches and corporate events, Mr. Mero shares his life story, in hopes of inspiring everyone from children to adults.
Early on in his life, Marc was a successful amateur boxer. Professional boxing beckoned. Unfortunately, 10 days before his first professional fight, an injury derailed him and the fight never took place. Instead, it put him on a negative path that included drugs and alcohol. Some years later, Mero found his way into professional wrestling and rose to fame in both the WWE and WCW.
In 2007, after professional wrestler Chris Benoit reportedly killed himself, his wife and son, Mr. Mero told mainstream media audiences, including Nancy Grace, about the negative aspects of professional wrestling and the lifestyle that surrounds it. Around that time he got into public speaking, telling people of his mistakes in hopes of inspiring them not to go down the same path. Marc says he is on pace to do 275 speeches this year, through his Champion of Choices Tour.
Earlier this year, the former boxer and wrestler had successful open heart surgery. He says he feels better than ever.
