10 Times WWE Characters Had Sexual Awakenings
1. Mark Henry's Fringe Fetish Festival
Vince McMahon suffered an extreme case of buyer's remorse when confronted by the fact that Mark Henry, a gigantic investment on the heels of 1996 Olympic games fever, turned out to not be very good at wrestling. McMahon was so jazzed with Henry that he offered him an incredibly lucrative ten year deal. So p*ssed was he at Henry's initial failure to learn the ropes that he subjected him to a litany of embarrassments in an attempt to make him quit.
Henry lusted after Chyna and dubbed himself "Sexual Chocolate". The Ninth Wonder of the World tricked him into receiving fellatio from a transvestite. Henry eventually disclosed that he was a sex addict in order to excuse his turncoat ways. His sexual awakening took place at age eight, when his sister deflowered him. He seemed to like it so much that he did it again years later. Henry then ran the gamut from incest to granny porn when he became involved with octogenarian Mae Young, with whom he sired a hand.
Henry eventually improved enough to become an acceptable B-level headliner in an era of depleted star power. He did this after his first ten years were up. Henry may not be the best pro wrestler, nor the most over. But he must be the most perseverant.
Proving that he is a lunatic by Einstein's definition, McMahon signed up The Big Show on a similar deal, who, as it turned out, was also re-sent to developmental and ritually humiliated.
