‘This Generation Missed You’: Fans And Bully Ray Pay Tribute To Female WWE Legend, Who Got Powerbombed at 77 Years of Age

WWE Attitude Era was at its peak and one female wrestler was at the top during the time. It was none other than the legendary wrestler who revolutionized women’s wrestling, Mae Young. On 14th January 2014, the world lost her and the entire wrestling community shed tears. And this year, it has been 9 years since her death.

But the world will never forget her. Even WWE honored her by starting the Mae Young Classic and giving many women wrestlers a platform. It also led to the introduction of many marvelous women wrestlers like Rhea Ripley, Xia Li, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, and Kairi Sane, among many others.

After 9 years, the man who had the most arguable viral Attitude Era moment with Young, Bully Ray, honored her on Twitter. The Dudley Boyz and Mae Young had many amazing segments that made them pop out of the bunch of Attitude Era wrestlers.
