Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 15, 2014 Be it bad taste or not, and some of the skits she was involved in were cringeworthy, it's not too much of a punt to suggest Mae made more cash in the past 15 years than in the rest of her life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh easily. Jerry Brisco made a lot more money rolling around in his skidmarked pants and having garbage brawls (in both senses of the term) with Crash Holly than he did through being a Hall of Fame tag wrestler. Duthty made more money in his two-year run "wiff dee polkee dots" than he did through 15 years of headlining in Georgia and Florida. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 15, 2014 My opinion on the Mae Young thing is..... I thought all the stuff was funny at the time. Many people did. I think a 77 year old woman has the right to decide how she wants to spend her "retirement" (or non-retirement) and if she wants to get power-bombed through a fake table by a big guy probably at least twice her weight and one third of her age, and give birth to a "hand"........... and bare her breasts live on pay-per-view television at one of the WWF's "big four" events, the Royal Rumble, that's her choice and I don't think she was "humiliated" at all because she knew it was all for laughs. If you found the hand thing hard to watch, well, that was the point. It was shock/gross-out humour. A bit near the knuckle, definitely but it's not like they did that every week. That's all.

Channel 4 didn't see the funny side of her bearing her 'breasts' (they were actually prosthetic), they opted there and then to terminate their contract to air WWE programming. Well done Vince! Personally I just found the Mae Young stuff sad, puerile and desperate, another example of Vince having people demean themselves simply because he can. Exactly how did the sight of an elderly woman giving birth to a mannequin hand, showing her puppies etc benefit WWE in the long run??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dean1991 116 Posted January 17, 2014 Do you remember Val Venis being circumcised by a Japanese mob using a Samurai sword? That made Mae's tits seem like a walk in the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR976evil 909 Posted January 18, 2014 Do you remember Val Venis being circumcised by a Japanese mob using a Samurai sword? That made Mae's tits seem like a walk in the park. Not really, for one you couldn't actually see anything, and furthermore it was revealed the following week that Kaientai had been 'foiled' courtesy of Venis' 'friend', everyone's favourite wife-beating porn star John Wayne Bobbitt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie vick was the pinnacle of McMahon's debauchery , i heard while they were filming that a funeral was going on next door . When it comes to trying to select the most repugnant or just downright tasteless segment or storyline that McMahon has produced, you really are spoilt for choice. For starters there's the Big Boss Man mocking the Big Show's supposedly dying father, the Muhammad Hassan character and related segments (the hooded 'terrorists' attempting to garrotte the Undertaker was surely the low point), the shameless exploitation of Eddy Guerrero's death, Kurt Angle threatening to rape Sharmell, Trish Stratus being forced to strip to her underwear and bark like a dog (Linda McMahon's political detractors had a field day with that), Kerwen White, and most recently, CM Punk and Paul Heyman mocking Jerry Lawler's near-fatal on-air heart attack.
