To think he was only 23 or 24 when he left, to be that good that young, imagine how good he would've become as he got older and more experienced. He was only on the main roster for about 8 months and people still talk about him to this day, just shows what an impact he made. Glad to see him doing well, seems like such a cool, down to earth and humble human being.

    This is one of my best friends when I first started a Ovw along with Johnny Jeter, Chris Cage, and Nova and Kevin, Fertig and Travis Tomko and Renee Dupree and Mickey James. Mark is not lying about how good he was at Ovw‘s gimmick they had for him at the time called “this year‘s model Mark Magnus“ they honestly could’ve put that on television the next week for raw/SmackDown and we would be seeing a very different story about him today and wrestling history in my opinion. They also screwed the pooch royally on Johnny Jeter! That everybody and their mother could see was one of the best selling baby faces and high flyers that we were all comparing to a modern day Ricky Morton at the time. And that’s no hyperbole! These guys were really that damn good! And they both busted their ass for years without a wrestling contract, but kept up with everyone of us that were under contract until WWE finally, signed them both.

    I would love to see him in the Performance Center teaching promo classes or something. He was a natural on the mic. He had great instincts, and I think he could be a great asset working with the young guys and girls. His story would be very effective in getting them to listen. No new wrestler has ever gotten a character over to that degree so quickly. He could really be valuable as a teacher in professional wrestling. He is more than qualified.

    I'm so glad to hear that he liked his own theme song. Many wrestlers surprisingly don't like their own theme music. I have liked that theme song so much, since day one. That bassline is a crusher, and the vocals are perfect. I still don't know the translation of the lyrics yet (I might search for them)😅.

    It is a travesty how Marc's career in wrestling was derailed because he was handed a character that he played extremely well! WWE really dropped the ball with him. Crazy how his run was less than 7 months!
