10 Most Ridiculous Things Wrestling Expected You To Believe

WWE turned Mae Young's pregnancy into a joke years after the fact. However, the promotion willingly shoved some absolute tripe out on screens in 2000 by revealing that pensioner Mae had given birth to a human hand live on air. It was as thrilling as it sounds 22 years on.

Nobody knew what the hell to make of it.

Some were already having a tough enough time with the thought that 'Sexual Chocolate' Mark Henry had gone from sleeping with own sister to having a stable relationship with Young (who was anything but), so it hit everyone like a Triple H sledgehammer when Mae birthed five fingers on Raw.

In typical fashion, the then-WWF produced shock TV for the sake of it and didn't even try to follow up. Mark Henry had impregnated Mae with a human hand, and everybody was just gonna have to deal with it. Christ, they could get away with anything during WCW's dying days, eh?
