10 WWE Character Traits That Humiliated Wrestlers

5. Mark Henry = Sex Addict

Mark Henry was/is a team player.

Back in the late-90s, someone decided that the former Olympian should suddenly reveal that he'd been addicted to sex since childhood. In fact, as Henry revealed during mortifying "Sex Therapy" sessions that were so daytime TV they hurt, he'd once had relations with his very own sister.

This infamously led to Henry's run as 'Sexual Chocolate'. He hooked up with pensioner Mae Young, and the WWF proceeded to pretend that big Mark couldn't get enough of the good stuff - he was so horny that he didn't care where sex came from. Just give him that lovin', damn it!

The sister admission was particularly regrettable. 'Sexual Chocolate' might've worked (it was the 'Attitude' era, after all) without the thought that Mark Henry traded weightlifting sessions for getting freaky with his own flesh and blood back home. That was just unnecessary.

Who booked this sh*t? Oh, Vince Russo. Never mind.
