Early career (1992–1993) After a career as a
bodybuilder,
World Championship Wrestling (1993–1997) In 1993, Czawlytko signed a contract with
World Championship Wrestling. He was sent to the
WCW Power Plant for seasoning. Later in the year, he debuted on WCW television under the name Big Bad John, making appearances on the promotion's secondary television shows
Saturday Night,
Main Event, and
Pro. In 1995, he was repackaged as a
heel under the ring name Max Muscle and became
Diamond Dallas Page's
bodyguard, where he consistently helped Page cheat in
arm wrestling contests. However, Muscle's alliance with Page ended by 1996, as Muscle broke away from Page and briefly
turned face. During the 3rd August 1997 episode of
WCW Worldwide, Czawlytko wrestled his final match in a tag team match for WCW against
the Steiner Brothers .
Retirement After leaving WCW, Czawlytko took a two-year-long hiatus from wrestling. On March 11, 1999, Czawlytko competed in his return match, then under the tweaked ring name Maxx Muscle, where he and Corporal Punishment wrestled to a no contest for
Maryland Championship Wrestling. On April 8, Muscle lost to Punishment in a rematch. Following losses in both singles and tag team matches, Czawlytko left MCW in mid-October and wrestled his final match on January 29, 2000, when he resumed his Maxx ring name as he defeated Felony in a match for
Xtreme Pro Wrestling. In 2008 he returned to wrestling working for IHWE in Texas. Then he retired in 2009. ==Death==
