Vince McMahon went out of his way to honor the legacy of Mae Young

Mae Young was quite a popular figure among fans, courtesy of her hilarious segments on WWE TV back in the day. She was also involved in a bunch of incredibly disturbing segments with Bully Ray. Fans still remember Ray powerbombing her through a table on an episode of RAW.

Vince McMahon held two Mae Young Classic tournaments in 2017 and 2018 to celebrate the legacy of the late wrestler. Kairi Sane was the winner of the first Mae Young Classic, while Toni Storm won the second edition of the tournament.

Mae Young's most infamous WWE moment came during her on-screen relationship with Mark Henry. The angle saw Mae getting pregnant and eventually giving birth to a hand. Henry later recalled asking Vince about the angle and didn't exactly get a convincing answer.
