10 Best WWE Gimmicks That Were Only Used Once
7. Older People Have Sex
Right.
Before this turns into an "all the things they did with Mae Young in the Attitude Era" list (but after your writer adds that to his iPhone notes), this is not a call for another character to give birth to a hand, or have prosthetics attached to her chest in order to facilitate a way to get naked on a pay-per-view.
But - and please, take this leap just as Bubba Ray did back in 2000, back when we were all still happy - was her character actually progressive?
WWE's presentation of it categorically was not. It was thought disgusting by pervert-in-chief that a woman in her mid-70s would want to be held to the same standard as her peers in bikini contests and the like, no matter how satisfied Mark Henry was with their sex life.
Vince McMahon's complex relationship with his own ageism was and is part of the problem. He'd almost certainly want to be portrayed as a "genetic jackhammer" well into his hundreds if and when he makes it, but he'd presumably view a female being cast the same way with the same disdain he once shared with CM Punk about women's MMA.
This sort of sh*t has never been more hypothetical. The world is an impossible cultural shift away from WWE touching anything like this, but there'll come a point where that over-50s demographic they've managed to lock down might want more than they're getting, on and off screen.
