I'm not

They did this already with his feud with The Undertaker before WrestleMania 22

Why is he angry all of a sudden? since moving to Smackdown! I need a FILL ME IN. Last time I saw him he was smiling with Yoshi Tatsu on RAW. I liked him better as a smiling fat black guy

...Dude, Mark Henry is reaching "that" level where only Undertaker and Triple H have been in the WWE longer than he has...he's been there since 1996, I think...that's 15 years!

The Naitch

06-25-2011, 01:55 AM

wasn't he released for a few years and then came back though? I swear he wasn't around for 15 years straight. Unless tyou count injuries.

I DUNNO

The Naitch

06-25-2011, 02:13 AM

why do they keep him? Is he a good worker? Loyal? Surprised he LASTED so long for a guy who isn't a draw and to me is a POOR MAN's Big SHOW

just like this thread is THE POOR MAN's Anybody Thrilla thread

Aguakate

06-25-2011, 02:23 AM

...I have no idea how he's stuck around for so long while producing so little...

...maybe he's just a genuinely nice guy that Vince likes.

Mark Henry will go on to unify both the WWE and World Heavyweight titles at Wrestlemania.

There was this backstage video of his (probably after he was drafted to smackdown) where tears started coming out of his eyes. I so wanted to hug him.

Another month, another Mark Henry thread...

He still sucks. He's boring and never does anything that interests me. After 15 years I'm still waiting to see what's so good about the guy.

But he seems like a nice guy in real life. :)

06-25-2011, 11:04 AM

Hes pretty much the same as Big Show/Kane/Khali etc for me, a big guy who looks imposing but you know he's just there to put newer guys over between squash matches. Too many stop/start pushes and turns for me to really buy into as a legit main eventer.

06-25-2011, 11:26 AM

Nope, he does not. Seen this push before and it failed then. Lets just hope he doesn't injure someone else this time.

Rammsteinmad

Does anyone know an exact number of Mark Henry pushes we've seen? Would be interesting to know how many times he starts up a push and then gets dropped.

Maybe that's the better word for me as well. I don't groan when I see him on TV anymore.

I worked at a music store in the mall and he came in. He was looking for a discman, and I showed him a few different ones. He said thanks and left. The end.

Honestly, I don't think his latest pushes were meant to propel him into superstardom.

Always have been a fan of Mark Henry, and always will be. He just needs to be pushed the right way. He works better as a face, but not a jobbing sorta face.

Tom Guycott

06-26-2011, 03:48 AM

Nope, he does not. Seen this push before and it failed then. Lets just hope he doesn't injure himself again this time and then come back and get pushed as a face.

fix'd.

Okay, on to my opinion.

I am very interested in Mark Henry right now.

Disclaimer: I didn't watch this week's Smackdown! yet. About to do that now.

With that said, I've stated before that I love this type of heel Mark Henry- hurting people "because he can". I wouldn't be adverse to a World Title run like this. He runs roughshod over would-be challengers, then comes face to "newly turned" face (a-la Lex/Yoko... only without the damned bus) with Sheamus. Seriously, the man is overdue. They finally pulled the trigger on a Christian heel turn, so why the hell not? Either that, or an "underdog" that's not Rey or Cena*. Someone who can believably take that next step and bests an overconfident WSM.

*not important that Cena is currently on RAW. Point was "Cena Wins", even though he's always somehow billed as the underdog.

DAMN iNATOR

06-27-2011, 02:58 PM

I'm actually fine with him as he is. He was AWFUL when he was the "big black Mr. Rogers" always smiling like :D guy. He's at his best when he's angry and kicking serious ass.

Also, I know he didn't really say it, I just misinterpreted it, but a week or two ago on RAW (I forget which since the last 2 were both 3-hour cross brand shows...), but it definitely sounded like as he was leaving he said "My blood don't pump kool-aid!":lol:

As long as he keeps beating the shit out of Orton, I'm ok with him being on my television once a week.

I dunno. I guess maybe I'm just one of a "dying breed" of fans who likes big huge monster guys beat the ever-loving fuck out of one another. You don't get many big man vs. other big man programs these days in wrestling and I think it's kind of a shame, because it can be great when done right.

Ermaximus

06-27-2011, 03:23 PM

That's because most of their big men are past their primes, always injured, not entertaining at all.

Taker-Pretty much done.
Kane-Nearing his final days, but will still go.
Big Show-See Kane.
Khali-You can't be serious.
Zeke-Potential.
Mason Ryan-He's green as shit, clumsy as fuck, and not really entertaining.

Taker it Easy

I like what is going on with Mark Henry. Hopefully they will take it seriously, yeah right, and let him be a threat like his is now and should be.

He has some of the best entrance music and his body is scary. What he can do to you is scary. Few reasons he should not have a belt if he can continue doing well on the mic.

He could be like a black Vader.

Yeah, his theme is one of the best right now...I can remember when he had one of the worst entrance themes:

Also, I kinda marked out when Big Show got put through the cage. It was pretty bad ass. Mark Henry is good right now.

Henry vs. Big Show at MitB. Your thoughts ABT?

It might be a decent smash mouth brawl if they keep it short and have another big spot planned that will outshine the cage spot on Raw.

The problem with Mark Henry is the WWE starts a major heel push for him, then drops it for no reason. Just like when he attacked Batista in the steel cage and destroyed him. After Batista surrendered the World Title, Mark Henry didn't even get a shot at it. Now, he's putting Kane and Big Show through tables, throwing technicians off the stage and even pinning Orton in tag matches. Most logical ppl would think that would lead to a title run. But, apparently logic isn't a factor here. On SD yesterday, he was RKO'd by Orton outside the ring and counted out. After the 3 weeks of dominance, WWE effectively killed whatever momentum he built up in his attacks.

Granted Mark Henry isn't the most talented person on SD, but WWE needs to decide whether to push him properly or release him. I'm sure most fan like me are tired of seeing push after push die then be subjected to yet another period of pointless wandering with no direction...

Anybody Thrilla

07-03-2011, 12:57 PM

I thought it was pretty cool when he tossed the technician off stage. I've marked out for him twice in the past two weeks, which is probably more than I have throughout his entire career.

well then there's history now. Makes more sense to have them reallign with eachother

Teddy is being bullied backstage, being called a HOMO so he calls up his old friend Mark Henry to BACK THE MACK

Hell, might as well bring back Red Dogg RODNEY MACK, wherever he's at. Hell, might as well bring John Cena along as well.

You want to use Mark Henry right and make people give a shit?

Have him walk in during any title match that takes place. Anywhere. Have him do this for all the titles, except maybe the Divas, but I think doing it to the divas title would just make it fucking hilarious on top of everything else.

What does he do? Lays everyone out. Takes the belt, walks off. When people call him out, have him dare people to take the titles from him.

Have this culminate during a WWE Championship match, where the guys have seen it happen enough times to the other titles and be "ready for him." Have interference from the other guys who have had their titles stolen from them, and a big massive beat down occur from which Henry actually comes back and destroys everyone, but the champ (maybe Miz would fit in here) runs off with his belt.

Have the "police" get involved and the titles taken from him. This could cause all sorts of chaos. Royal Rumble hits near the end of this angle, and Henry is the first entrant.

Yeah, even Henry could draw.
