Oh man:( Prayers and thoughts go out from my end.

Wow, you never know when it'll be your time to go.
Very sad. |
Hopefully her hand son will be there to give her a low five before she joins Bobby Jaggers and Vicky Venom.

Awwwww damn. RIP Mae Young.
|
This one kid in Sri Lanka was like, "I need confirmation that Mae Young passed, omg, she was taken off life support and I RIP'ed her"
The hell. I hope she farts on him in the next stage of existence |
RIP to one of the toughest women to have ever lived.
|
Wow. RIP
|
R.I.P. Mae Young
|
I met Mae Young at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame induction a few years ago. She was very nice and funny also.
RIP :( |
Really makes you think about your own mortality.
|
She was so "young" though. RIP and shit
|
She certainly lived a full life. RIP.
|
This sucks, Mae Young and Mark Henry's sex/hand birth angle is one of my favorite wrestling moments/angles of ALL time. WWE needs a new crazy old lady...
|
This is sad. Mae Young was always a delight to see. At 80 years old she took bumps that Hogan and Flair wouldn't take. Up until last week I truly believed that she would have a segment with Stephanie's oldest daughter in about 10 years.

They’ll probably edit in at least a little still picture memorial for SD! this Friday. Maybe not. Anyway, it’d be nice if they made time on Monday to do some sort of small video tribute package. Doesn’t have to take forever, just think it would be a nice gesture to a woman who was one of the last great female wrestlers still alive from the (ironic considering last Monday’s RAW, I know, but...) “old-school” days of the sport. Professional wrestling has lost a true icon and Mae Young will be forever missed and loved by millions of fans around the world. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WOkG5WxBe-U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> (see 18:32-24:00) |

unRIP then
|
lol she's hard as fuck
|
It is like these ppl want her to pass away, like they hate her.
I say leave her to be at peace, but if you think she'll go down without a fight then you haven't been paying attention Product Placement http://media.northerner.com/media/ca...black_lc_1.jpg Nice |
Leave it to Mae Young to kick out of death.
|
RIP if she's dead.
"You go girl!" if she isn't. |
You can't have just one pinch, it's great
Cope |
ROFL I can just see her ready to fight with doctors who want to keep her admitted. Hope she pulls out of this one!
|
I'm afraid I have some BAD NEWS: The internet is full of misleading reports that cannot always be trusted.
|
So Mae Young is no-selling death. Jesus, this woman is tough.
I posted that because although he's not an official source by any means, he was the one that everyone seemed to trace back to her being taken off of life support. But hey, we all make mistakes. |
Remember guys, its not real until its posted on WWE.com!
|
Can a mod add the phrase "Citation Needed" to the title of this thread?
|
"Fuck you, death. I'm gonna see who wins this Goddamn Royal Rumble."
|
We ARE talking about the woman who yelled at Bubba Ray Dudley for giving her what she considered to be a sub-par powerbomb, right?
|
Still alive, by the way.
|
|
She didn't listen to anyone who said rest in peace, you A-holes wanted her to stay down.
|
in our defense all of the original reports were titled "Mae Young Passes Away"
but once again, we all must check our sources. "EVERYBODY CAME HERE TO SEE.... MY PUPPIES!!!!!!" vomit!!!!! |
This thread was better when it was Citation Needed.
|
|
We'll all look back on this and laugh when Mae gives birth again at WrestleMania 30.

Just another reason as to why internet wrestling reporters are NOT reporters to begin with.
|
So she is gonna be at WrestleMania 30?

Yeah to like "Mae Young is Gravely Ill???"

Is she still alive or what?
|
Some wrestling "reporter" tried to kill her off, but she has been spotted @ Denny's so no, she is alive and doing things

Matt Hardy is envious of Mae Young

So, who's gonna be Mae's opponent in 10 years?

No, she actually wants to have her last match when she turns 100.
|
Jojo?
|
heard she was about to be fired.

Which ever mod changed the title- I love you.

Totally unrelated, but I think Aurora is a beautiful name. Up there with things I'd name a daughter with Roshan.
|
All jokes aside, the main page said Stephanie McMachon has tweeted Mae Young has passed away.
|
It's also on wwe.com now.
This might be legit now. |

Sad to hear about her passing, RIP :(

RIP

The person with the most attitude from the attitude era. RIP.

RIP

RIP part deux
|
At least she got all of the praise before she died because of the false report.
|
Poor hand. Without his mother.

RIP Mae Young. Always seemed indestructible. As evidenced by:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/kRrUPF1uGvM?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> - WWE has posted a longer tribute video for Mae Young, as seen above. - Here are some reactions on her passing from around the wrestling world: Jim Ross: "The legendary Johnnie Mae Young has passed. The Oklahoman lead an amazing life. Her mental/physical toughness is an inspiration to all. RIP" Natalya: "I'll always remember Mae Young. We shared wonderful memories of my grandfather. She made me want to fight. There was no one like her." MVP: "Every time I saw Mae Young, EVERY TIME, she would greet me with a BIG smile & hug & then say "Now what was your name again?" & laugh! RIP" Mickie James: "A fighter until the very end! Forever in our hearts,memories, & fighting spirit! A true HOF legend! #RIPMaeYoung" Todd Grisham: "Rest in Peace Mae Young. One of the greatest female wrestlers ever. She was always very nice to me and was forever smiling." Triple H: "#RIPTheOneandOnlyGreatMaeYoung Thank you for your example to my girls on how to get all you want out of life! #pioneer #legend #whatarun" The Rock: "She's a wrestling pioneer. I truly had deep affection & respect for "Aunty Mae" Young. RIP. #IMissUMae" |

That tribute video brought a tear to my eye

I'm not going to say it was a ground breaking loss, but a heart breaking one never the less. One of the toughest people, regardless of gender, to lace up a pair of boots has passed away at the age of 90.
We'll remember you, Mae Young. Rest in peace. Thank you for the memories... except the hand thing. And seeing you get thrown off the stage through a table by Bubba Ray Dudley at 80 years old was disturbing. Or you telling the world they paid to see your "puppies." Pretty sure I've seen you do a bronco buster before... ugh, need mind bleach.... You know what- for the last 20 years I've never wanted to be caught by a non wrestling fan watching whatever you were doing. |
RIP :(
|
She was truly one of the toughest male or female to ever lace a pair of boots.
I can overlook the attitude era stuff she did as she likely had fun and was getting a paycheck. I do think it was reckless and irresponsible of WWE to have an 80 year old woman get power bombed thru a table. Bubba probably took care of her but still... |
I think given the losses in recent years this was one of the few or the only that springs to mind that United most wrestling fans and professionals alike in grief and tribute. For example when Henning and Eddie passed away it was under tragic circumstances I.e. Result of drug abuse. Benoit obviously less said the better. Macho man of course incredibly sad but he polarised opinion amongst wrestling celebs. I don't recall mae young ever actually being hated and unlike most stars who went into retirement or moved on from the wwe she remained loyal until the very end hence why she was loved so much and perhaps why her tribute video felt more heart felt than macho mans.
|
Wasn't there the story of how mae young berated bubba for not going tougher on her? She certainly left her mark on the wrestling business and the odd novelty raw or spot on a ppv will seem that little emptier.

RIP :'(
