Mark Henry Reveals Origin Of His Sexual Chocholate Character In WWE

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.

The Rock Was Never On Board With DX’s Nation Parody

According to Henry, The Rock made it clear he didn't like the segment and only participated to avoid backstage problems, telling others "I don't like people dressing up like us. I don't like people putting blackface on." Henry, who initially viewed it as "part of the work," now acknowledges the segment was "distasteful" and that everyone involved learned a valuable lesson from the controversial Attitude Era moment.
