Mark Henry Recalls Working With Mae Young, His Favorite Segment With Her

– Speaking at Monopoly Events’ For The Love of Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry discussed his on-air angle when he was in a relationship with Mae Young and recalled his favorite segment with her during his career. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Mark Henry on his Valentine’s Day segment with Mae Young: “The most fun I ever had in wrestling was the Valentine’s Day special with Mae Young in the hotel. The guy that was producing that segment, everybody knows Bruce Prichard, Brother Love. Bruce almost died, like he was laughing so hard that he started hyperventilating and went to his butt. He fell back and he was against the wall … laughing at him pass out, was funnier than everything else.” 

On Mae Young standing up to a disrespectful wrestler: “We used to ride on the road all the time, where during that time men used to mistreat the women wrestlers, they disrespected them and she told some wrestler that was really popular at the time, if you’re going to be disrespectful to a woman, you could at least zip your pants in front of everybody. He bent down to zip his pants, she kicked him in the balls and stomped him.”
