Marc Mero Recalls How Dusty Rhodes Created The Johnny B. Badd Gimmick

Pro wrestling veteran Marc Mero appeared on The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, where he discussed various topics, including how Dusty Rhodes came up with his Johnny B Badd gimmick.

Mero said, “I remember Dusty Rhodes said to me, ‘Did anybody ever tell you, you look like Little Richard?’ And I’m thinking, I thought he was talking about a wrestler. So I said, ‘I don’t know who a Little Richard is.’ He goes, ‘You don’t know Little Richard? A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop, A-lop-bam-boom?’ And I thought, ‘Oh, the singer?’ And he goes, ‘Yeah.’ And I said I never heard that before.”

On Terri Runnels giving him the look:

“He goes, ‘Oh, I think I got a gimmick for you…Next thing I know, Terri Runnels…the makeup artist for WCW…I remember she put me in this chair and next thing you know, with the makeup and the eyeliner and everything, all of a sudden, she spins me around the chair, I’m going ‘Oh my gosh, I look like Little Richard.’ And that’s how it took off.”
