Mae Young's passing last night marked the loss of one of the industry's giants. WWE recognized her massive influence with the above tribute video. The clip is a shade under three minutes in length, and it heavily highlights Young's time as a semi-active WWF/E personality, a time when she seemed more the target of laughs rather than a member of the chorus. However, as ingrained as she was in the business, she seemed not only to take it in stride, but revel in it. I guess to be a carny, you need to have the thickest skin, but at least her repayment was absolute adoration from everyone she met. Godspeed, Johnnie Mae Young.
