13) Marc Mero: Marc’s story goes viral
Mero went through some rough times during his pro wrestling career. Marc turned to drugs as a way to cope with depression, and this ultimately lead to 3 major overdoses which almost saw Mero lose his life. His mother unfortunately got it the worst. Mero would always neglect his mother who would always try to help him throughout his struggles with addiction. One day Marc received a phone call no one ever wants to get, he was notified about his mother’s passing. Instead of hitting rock bottom and suffering from a worse depression, Mero changed his life completely.
