Addiction tears at the fabric of families, relationships, and society itself, so naturally the Attitude Era had a big old laugh at it. Wrestling has had many angles dealing with alcohol and substance abuse, but Mark 'Sexual Chocolate' Henry was given a storyline where his struggles were of a spicier nature. As his nickname suggests, Henry was slapped with a sex addiction story arc that was an absolute farce.

Dealing with his sometimes partner/sometimes enemy, D-Lo Brown, Mark confessed that he was struggling with addiction. Sex addiction. What followed was a series of skits where Mark would talk to therapists about his problems, confessing that he lost his virginity to his sister at the age of 8 as part of his first session. 

Over the course of 4 weeks, Henry would speak to therapists that included two women who looked like supermodels, a gay man, and a pensioner in a series of chats that had all the sensitivity of having your genitals attacked with razor wire. The angle continued with Mark turning to The Godfather, only for Henry to turn on the lovable pimp in a match that gave Viscera control of his hoes and gave The World's Strongest Man unfiltered access to his ladies of the night on a 24/7 basis. This angle didn't stop until Henry settled down with Mae Young, who then gave birth to a rubber hand. Sure.
