10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About The Dudley Boyz

3. Attacking Mae Young

OK, so we've already covered the Dudley Brothers' disturbing fixation with powerbombing so-called WWE divas through a table, but this particular incident deserves an entry of its own, for no other reason than it seems, frankly, insulting to the risk Mae Young took to lump her in with everyone else.

Let's put this into a little bit of context: Young (ironically) was just a few years shy of 80 when she was powerbombed off the Raw stage by Bubba, making her perhaps the oldest person in history to take such a high-risk wrestling bump.

Can you imagine if anything had gone wrong here? The company would have had a lot of explaining to do, and "she volunteered to do it" (though likely true) probably wouldn't have satisfied those leading the charge against them.

There's another layer to the embarrassment associated with this too, because it also came slap-bang in the middle of Mae's relationship with Mark Henry - the same one that led to the birth of their "hand", in one of the most ridiculous WWE segments of all-time.
