to answer your question johnny b badd is not black his real name his marc merowitz who is of jewish heritage i thought he was italian at first when we discovered his wwf wrestlemania 12 name todd pettingill marc maaro instead of pronouncing marc mero right
Yeah, unlike Van Hammer, he really knew how to play Guitar. He called it Norma Jean. Course when he came to WWF, they didn't let him use the Maxx Payne gimmick because it was too similar to The Undertaker. So they gave him a tye dye guitar player gimmick which compared to all the crappy gimmicks in 1995, wasn't really that bad.
@JasonL77 So many reasons..I don't know which are true, one rumor was that he was recording wrestler's conversation without permission, others say its lingering injuries and a drug problem, some would probably say The Kliq, whatever the reason, he was released sometime in 95.
game took his name a lawsuit was held a few yrs back and ended in a settlement. Since Darryl Peterson aka Maxx Payne, Max Payne, Max Pain, Man Mountain Rock etc. trademarked his names except MMR which was given to him by WWF
maxx payne was one of my favs at this timewcw should have got behind guys like him foley and austin they had plenty of talent back then without hogan savage ect 1 or 2 wwe guys would have been ok but not he whole early 90s roaster
looking back now the maxx payne gimmick was great. i was so caught up in guys like, sting luger, flair etc i never paid much attention to the midcard guys. shame bischoff buried him after the brian knobbs thing. vince should have used him in this same gimmick instead of the man mountain rock thing.
at superbrawl 94 maxx payne did a belly to belly suplex on knobbs and broke his shoulder afterward bischoff yelled at max payne and payne made some kind of sarcastic remark
and after that the character was doomed and then he was off to wwf as man mountain rock.
Actually I heard in a shoot interview from Shamrock, that he had problems with both the Nasties, they harassed his friend in a bar and made vulgar gestures at his Fiance. He went to their hotel later on that night and they beat the crap outta him. Years later he confronted Sags at an airport and said something along the lines of "Im gonna fucking kill you!" But Sags wussed out and Billy Gunn had to keep Shamrock from killing him.
Maxx Payne loved the gimmick,,,he and Louie Spicolli couldve been a great tag team if they kept him as MaXX and left Louie as Rad Radford in the WWF

The Z Man also used the "super kick."

What Max Payne did Johnny B. Badd was awesome, or should I say MARVELOUS!
On a side note I liked Max Payne more than Man Mountain Rock, and the Z-Man always sucked.

If you think about it, if Max Payne and Abyss would team up, they would be a powerfull team of destruction.

He's the real Maxx Payne (I want to see that documentary, too).
