20 Most Horrifically Stupid Things That Ever Happened In WWE

2. Mae Young Gives Birth To A Prosthetic Hand

It's another one of those moments where WWE thought it was really going to be funny and they went ahead with it anyway. Mark Henry was booked like a fool that had a sex problem. He ended up falling in love with Mae Young, who was in her late 70s by this point. They were shown in bed together. Soon after that, it was announced that Mae was pregnant. Of course she had the baby early and it was shown on Raw because that's how WWE did these things. She ended up giving birth in a room in the back, which was shown on the February 28, 2000 edition of Raw. The sight of the birth was crazy. Mark Henry was there along with an EMT and there was also her best friend Fabulous Moolah, Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco. The "doctor" ended up pulling out something from Mae that was simply a prosthetic hand. Brisco started puking while Henry was smiling and the others were clapping. Once again it's hard to explain the logic by WWE this angle. Somebody must have thought it was hilarious, but it really was one of those segments that makes people embarrassed about being a wrestling fan.
Years later, WWE went back to the joke on the 1,000th episode of Raw and had Young show up with her "hand son" as a way to poke fun at their own stupid joke.
