Nothing Vince does suprises me.
When he was doing his "national expansion" in the early-mid 80s, he would sign top stars from regional organizations, and then tour that area. He signed wrestlers not because he wanted or needed them, but because it would hurt his opposition . Vince HAS done some nice things he doesn't talk about, tho. In the mid 80s, when Ken Patera(who was a WWF headliner in the 70s) was sentenced to two years in prison, McMahon sent weekly checks to Patera's family, even though Patera didn't work for Vince during the time the crimes were committed, or the time he was convicted . |

Ok new question: Category - "Trashed storylines"
Somewhere in the late 90's to early 2000 Mark Henry was running under an ultimate lover "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. After a romance with elderly wrestling legend, Mae Young, Mae became pregnant. After nine months Mae is taken to the emergency room to give birth. What confusing item did Mae Young "give Birth" to that made this gimmick forgotten and never spoken of by WWE ever again? |

Sorry, that isn't right Sportsnut69... that might be out one of the many times something got pulled out of someone's ass because WWE is classy.
Anyone else or shall I give the answer? |

|
A hand. My only question: Why A hand?
|
|
|
|
Ok I got no response and I'm getting out of here soon so I'll give the answer.
A Plastic manikin Hand: That's right... a Hand! It was so confusing that the whole angle was scrapped and forgotten about the very next week and WWE will deny it up and down. I actually think the writers thought it was dumb once they saw it on camera. |

Interesting fact.
Under a mask as the Punisher in Texas, Undertaker had his first match with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin was about a year away from becoming "Stunning" in WCW. Undertaler's first match against Kane actually took place in August 1995 at Smoky Mountain Wrestling's "Superbowl of Wrestling" show in Knoxville, TN. Kane was wrestling as "Unabomb", this was about a year before "Kane" debuted in WWE. |
