Former WWE star looks unrecognizable as he backflips into a lake… but can you guess who he is?

WWE fans are used to their favorite stars undergoing drastic transformations both during and after they have finished starring in the ring.

But the latest new look that may surprise long-time wrestling fans is being sported by a former Intercontinental Champion.

He enjoyed the heights of his career during the 1990s and, along with featuring in WWE, he also starred in WCW, X Wrestling Federation, and eventually retired in 2006 with TNA.

The former superstar in question shocked fans when he recently shared a video of himself celebrating his 63rd birthday and performing his patented finishing move – modified version of the Shooting Star Press – at Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia.

So, are you able to guess who it is?

WWE fans had a hard time recognizing Marc Mero in his birthday video.

Mero signed with WCW in 1991 and won the World Television Championship three times.

He went on to join WWE in 1996, winning the Intercontinental championship just months after his debut. 

He eventually returned to WCW in 2000 and worked with X Wrestling Federation and NWA-TNA before retiring in 2006.

In his Twitter post celebrating his birthday, Mero wrote: ‘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.’

While he doesn’t look the same as he did in his wrestling days, Mero is seemingly still fit for his age, performing back flips into the water.

He also underwent a heart surgery procedure in 2016. 

Aside from his wrestling acumen, some fans might also remember Mero due to his previous marriage to former WWE star and playboy model Sable, and Mero eventually reveled that she cheated on him with fellow WWE talent Brock Lesnar.

Over the last 10 years, Mero has become nearly unrecognizable as his physique has changed

‘I remember thinking, ‘When I find out who this guy is, I’m going to kick the living tar out of this man!” Mero said. 

‘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.’ 

He remarried in 2009 to a woman named Darlene Spezzi but they also ended up divorced.

Mero has taken up motivational speaking in his post wrestling career.
