Thought I'd share this story from Bob Holly's book

Bob Holly wrote:

Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah are two of the sweetest ladies you’d ever meet. All the boys respected the hell out of them and everybody rolled out the red carpet whenever they were on the show. By 2000, they’d already got over 100 years of in-ring experience between them, so that tells you how old they were. But they would still get in the ring now and then when they were given the chance. On one show, Crash and I were booked to do a tag team match against them, so we sat down in catering together to go over the match. Out of respect for them, I took myself out of the equation and told them we would do whatever they wanted to do. Mae planned a spot where she would be in the ring with Crash and I’d sneak in behind her. She would turn around and I’d clothesline her. I said to her, “Mae, I’ve got all the respect in the world for you but if you’re asking me to clothesline you, you need to know that I lay it in there.” She said, “Sure I know that, I want you to clothesline me.” I said, “No, you don’t understand – when I clothesline somebody, I try to rip their head off. It’s TV, I don’t want it to look bad but I don’t want to hurt you.” This nearly 80-year-old woman just looked at me and said, “Bring it, motherfucker.”

In Gorilla, just before the match, I gave her a hug and thanked her in advance for the match, then asked if she was sure about the clothesline. She said, “If you don’t bring it, when we get back, I’m going to kick your ass.” Hell, I didn’t want to get beaten up by an 80-year-old woman, so I was going to do what she said and lay that clothesline in there nice and snug. We started the match and I locked up with Moolah, grabbed her in a headlock, and took her over. I landed right on top of her. I was 235 pounds at this point. She was 77 years old and she was taking everything I could throw at her. Unbelievable.

The time came for the spot with Mae. She had her back to me as I was getting ready. When she turned around, I charged – she didn’t have time to prepare for it and I threw that clothesline from left field like I was hitting Bradshaw. I ripped her head off so hard that the poor lady cut a flip. I felt so bad! I asked her if she was alright and she said, “Yep, I’m fine,” and carried on. When we got to the back after the match, I went over to thank her and asked, “Mae, are you okay?” She patted me on the chest and said, “That’s how you lay a clothesline in, right there,” and kept on walking. Why the hell can’t some of the boys be like that?! That match was great fun and good entertainment.

I loved that small exerpt from his book when I read it, still makes me laugh even now

Bob couldn't help but be stiff even to an old lady. Never liked Hardcore Holy.

^ Did you read the same story I read?

I think so. The one where he hit an old lady like she was a massive bloke.

and she asked him to do that or else she'd be pissed?

And then praised him afterwards for it.

Only because he said thats what he was going to do if she wanted a clothesline. The guy was renowned for being a bully and stiffing people. Although it was funny what happened when he tried it with Lesnar.

If she didn't want it, she would have told him she didn't want to do it and she wouldn't have praised him for it. o_O
Bob Holly did a lot of bad shit, this wasn't one of those things.

Fuse, this is the same Mae Young that was set to be put through a table by Buh Buh/Bubba/Brother/Bully Ray, and Ray asked her the same question:

"You sure about this? Make sure you tuck your head in when I do it so you don't get whiplash."

She simply told him this:

"You put me through that table as if I were one of the boys."

He did what he was told and the rest is history. Hell! After that, she wanted to get powerbombed through a table....from the top of a steel cage!!! I'd like to see you call Ray a bully, no pun intended.
