Mark Henry Explains How WWE Really Came Up With Mae Young Giving Birth To A Hand

TLDR

Mark Henry revealed how WWE created the infamous Mae Young hand birth segment, explaining that Vince McMahon refused to tell him the storyline's conclusion despite Henry asking multiple times about the pregnancy angle's purpose. On the day of the segment, Pat Patterson told Henry the plan and had him mix leftover catering food with slime in a plastic bag to create the "birth" material, while keeping it secret from Gerald Brisco due to his weak stomach. Henry said the segment was "the best thing that I ever did in wrestling" and that Brisco reacted by getting sick as predicted when the hand was revealed.
