In 1996, Mark Henry was someone Vince McMahon considered a shoe-in to be his next top babyface. Unfortunately for McMahon, times had changed since 'American Heroes' were the most over at the top of the card. This led to a situation whereby the company didn't really know what to do with the man, who had signed a bumper 10-year deal with the promotion. After a spell, he turned heel and joined the 'Nation Of Domination'. Following that role, he was aligned with Mae Young on TV and re-dubbed 'Sexual Chocolate'. This was eyebrow-raising for many fans, because the organisation told everyone that Henry had an addiction to sex. He was also pretty kinky, and liked older women, hence the relationship with Mae. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVN3Awfs6Sc Inspired by Barry White, his 'Sexual Chocolate' entrance song was so bad that it was almost good. In a comical way, the tune was embraced by fans, who likely couldn't believe what they were seeing. Looking back on this time of his career, Mark is very upbeat, saying that he had a lot of fun working with Mae Young and doesn't really consider the character to be embarrassing. Even so, it must have been interesting to walk out to that music. The WWF had the gall to put the song on their 'The Music Vol. 4' CD.
