The 2017 WWE Mae Young Classic: Where Are They Now?

The 2017 WWE Mae Young Classic: Where Are They Now?

A year ago, I wrote a "Where Are They Now?" on the participants of the WWE's 2016 Cruiserweight Classic. Since that time, the WWE has done several tournaments and one of them was the Mae Young Classic: a tournament for women from around the world much like how the Cruiserweight Classic was for cruiserweight wrestlers and named after a WWE Hall of Famer. Well, a year has gone by and with WWE about to do a second one, I figure it would be fun to look back at last year's tournament and see how little came of it by seeing what became of the participants with some having been under contract only to be released while a lot of great talent was not picked up.

I don't own the picture.

When last I left off, I looked at well known fighters who came close to coming to the UFC but never did. Now, I figured a good follow up would be to look at fighters that did make it but people may have forgotten. With this being the 25th Anniversary of the UFC, it's safe to say that UFC has held hundreds of events and thousands of fighters have come through. Many fighters had long careers while others came and went. Some of the fighters who didn't stay long are known but others aren't or have been forgotten. Here is a list of fighters that competed in the UFC that you may have forgotten about.

Mark Henry: An Overrated Legacy and Biggest Waste of Money in WWE History

Mark Henry: An Overrated Legacy and Biggest Waste of Money in WWE History
July 1, 2018
By Ryan Porzl

For 22 years, a fixture of WWF/WWE has been "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. Originally a powerlifter who made it to the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, Henry signed with the WWF in 1996 and shockingly has had a two decade tenure where he seemed like a failed experiment for most of his run before enjoying praise in his twilight years and has since earned a backstage position as well as an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. For some strange reason, it seems like people have giving him more praise in recent years despite the limited success among other things. With his recent induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, it seems like people have continued to paint a rosy picture of his career. This article, I will pull back the curtain and remind people that while Henry is a likable guy who tried, his legacy is overrated and that he's been the biggest waste in WWE history given how little they got out of him despite the long tenure.
