Mark Henry Reveals Origin Of His Sexual Chocholate Character In WWE

TLDR

Mark Henry revealed that he created his "Sexual Chocolate" WWE character himself during a late-night car ride with D'Lo Brown after the Nation of Domination broke up. Henry pitched the idea directly to Vince McMahon, who initially rejected it because WWE had invested in building Henry as a serious powerhouse, but McMahon agreed to let Henry try it once in a match against Shawn Stasiak. During that match, Henry bodyslammed Stasiak, then left the ring mid-match to flirt with a woman in the crowd, demonstrating the character's mix of strength and comedy that would define the gimmick.
