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.
Mark Henry revealed that X-Pac broke down crying after learning about the cultural history behind DX's blackface parody of the Nation of Domination, saying Waltman had no understanding of what he was participating in at the time. According to Henry, when Waltman was told the segment resembled a minstrel show and learned about that history, he became emotional and insisted he wasn't racist. Henry clarified that while he didn't consider Waltman racist, the situation itself was deemed racist, and Waltman simply wasn't aware of the historical context.
Mark Henry revealed that The Rock was opposed to D-Generation X's 1998 parody of the Nation of Domination, which included blackface, from the very beginning. 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.
