It was only a matter of time before Mae Young appeared on this list. A true lifer of the pro wrestling business, Mae was well into her 70's by the time she was regularly showing up on WWF programming from 1999 onwards. In 2000, she formed an onscreen relationship with Mark Henry, who was said to have a real fetish for older women. The relationship was played for laughs, although it also provided a fair few horrors into the bargain. One of those moment was when Mae gave birth to a human hand covered in disgusting goo. Later, the promotion would make light of the idea, even having a man dress up as a hand for the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw. Back at the turn of the millennium however, fans recoiled in disgust over the angle. When the fake doctor pulled the bodypart from Mae's body, there were likely those rushing for the bathroom. For some, this passed the line of entertainment, and was simply sickening instead. When fans were tuning into the cartoon-like WWF of the early-90's, did they ever think that less than 10 years later, an elderly woman would be booked to birth a hand?
