Mark Madden (born December 29, 1960) is an American talk-show host from and based in Pittsburgh. He is best known for his work as color commentator for World Championship Wrestling.
A 1982 graduate of Duquesne University, and member of Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity, Madden wrote for Pro Wrestling Torch from 1992 to 1994 before beginning work as a TV color commentator and magazine writer for World Championship Wrestling. Shortly before Vince McMahon purchased WCW in March 2001, Madden 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. He spent several years as a regular columnist for Wade Keller's Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter. He currently writes occasional Editorial's for the Wrestlezone.com website, having previously featured on their Chair Shot Reality, weekly discussion show.
Madden has also worked within mainstream sports journalism, including fifteen years at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, where he primarily covered high schools for the paper's suburban sections, as well as stints at the now-defunct Penguins Report and the weekly Pittsburgh City Paper. He subsequently appeared as a featured guest on Action Sports Sunday on WTAE-TV, a half-hour sports discussion show. The Post-Gazette reported on November 17, 2006 that WTAE-TV dropped Mark Madden as a freelance sports commentator on its Sunday night sports show. In 2015, Madden joined WPNT for a nightly televised sports talk show, an edited replay of his radio show.
Madden has been writing a weekly column called "Monday Madden" for the Beaver County Times, a Pittsburgh-area newspaper, since May 28, 2007.
