Early Life, Education, and Career Beginning

Rise to Fame and Breakthrough Moment

• Madden’s notable moment during this time came during an interview with baseball legend Hank Aaron, who was working for the Atlanta Braves at the time and was informed by Madden of the employment of “Cowboy” Bill Watts by World Championship Wrestling, then a sister company to the Braves via their common ownership by Turner Broadcasting System.
• Madden had informed Aaron about racist comments Watts had made to the wrestling media before being hired by WCW as head booker and president, leading to Aaron to push for Watts’ removal.

Media Affiliations

• Starting in early 2000, he started featuring on WCW television regularly, replacing Bobby Heenan in the commentary booth on WCW Monday Nitro & WCW Thunder, as well as the pay-per-view events.
• Primarily a heel during this time, Mark’s wrestling persona would be similar to his radio talk show persona in Pittsburgh. He did see some in-ring action against Okerlund, as well as being unprovokingly attacked by Tank Abbott who started randomly attacking people until Bill Goldberg answered a challenge that never was resolved on WCW television.
• During his run as a color commentator on WCW, Mark started wearing Hawaiian shirts at the insistence of Vince Russo. Mark, who didn’t like wearing a shirt and tie, liked it so much that he continues to wear them today on his radio show and as a panelist on a Sunday night sports show on WPXI.
• Shortly before Vince McMahon purchased WCW in March 2001, Mark was fired for making disparaging remarks about the company, lobbying for the return of the fired Scott Hall, and disclosing information about the sale of WCW.

• While Page has offered to feature on Madden’s show, Mark declines each time. While Mark gave Page credit for turning around the lives of Jake Roberts and Scott Hall, he cited Page’s use of TV cameras to film the progress of their rehabilitation in Page’s home, which he felt was unnecessary and more or less was used to fuel Page’s ego.
• By 2020, however, Mark and Page had made up at a Starrcast event, at the encouragement of Sean Waltman. He is also known for his long-running feud with Jim Cornette, which reportedly started after Madden was offended by racist comments Cornette made towards Madden’s mother.
