A FORMER WWE superstar looks completely unrecognisable these days as he shared a snap of himself celebrating his 63rd birthday.
This star had a long career in the wrestling business and first shot to prominence in 1990.
He then penned a deal with World Championship Wrestling in 1991 and won the company’s World TV Title on three occasions.
Competing under the name of Johnny B. Badd, WWE boss Vince McMahon soon became a fan and moved to snap him up in 1996.
Within months this star, who was previously an amateur boxer and won the New York Golden Gloves competition, had claimed the prestigious Intercontinental Championship.
But soon it was his real-life wife that began capturing the headlines as she became a huge star after debuting on our screens.

Then our mystery man made a brief return to WCW in 2000 before going on to work for X Wrestling Federation and NWA-TNA before retiring in 2006.
The wrestler we are talking about is, of course, Marc Mero the ex-husband of Brock Lesnar’s now-wife Sable.
The veteran celebrated turning 63 on Sunday in Gainesville, Georgia and still looks in great shape – although he has ditched his long hair and facial hair.
And he recreated his Marvelocity finisher – which is a modified version of the Shooting Star Press – and other impressive moves at Lake Lanier, which you can watch in the video above.

He captioned the video clip with a tweet that read: “I did it in my 30s, still doing it in my 60s! Having an amazing day at Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Ga on my 63rd birthday! #birthdayweek #joy #birthdaycelebration.”
Mero, who underwent heart surgery in 2016, was married to former WWE Superstar and Playboy model Sable and they appeared on-screen together on WWE television.
They split in 2003 and divorced the following year and she now has two sons together with Lesnar.
Back in 2019, during an appearance on The Steve Austin Show, Mero revealed that Sable cheated on him with Lesnar.
He said: "I remember thinking, 'When I find out who this guy is, I'm going to kick the living tar out of this man!
"And then, I found out it was Brock Lesnar. Steve, this gives forgiveness a whole new meaning. Our marriage was over. We ended up getting divorced, but God bless them! They got married. They have kids."
Mero, who is now a motivational speaker, married Darlene Spezzi in 2009 but they divorced a year later.
