6. Mae Young

You can remember the late great Mae Young in a variety of ways. Most will remember her from her time in WWF during the Attitude Era, where she took a host of brutal bumps and gave birth to a hand. Others may know her from her rare modern day appearances, where she would randomly turn up and be overly flirtatious with a number of stars.

Mae Young is the oldest competitor in WWE history, and the only one to have wrestled a match over the age of 80. Most historians agree that she is the only individual to have competed in nine different decades, which is a stat that is as unbelievable as it is impressive.

She initially retired in 1991 in order to become a Christian Evangelist and take care of her mother. Mae eventually renounced her evangelism, which I assume happened somewhere around the time she gave birth to a hand.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
