Anyone else psyked that Mark Henry is champion? [Archive]

It's definately something different. We like to critique everything WWE does, and although it has taken 15 years, he has been booked perfectly, and the courage it took to put him over so cleanly against Orton has made things even more interesting in my opinion.

Am not going to say too much though, with HiaC just 2 weeks away, it might not last long.

I didn't really want Henry to take the title heading into NOC, but watching the match, I started pulling for him, and I marked (no pun intended) out when he won. I really dig the clean finish, too.

Mr. Nerfect

09-21-2011, 04:44 AM

They put Henry over Orton strong and clean. He's officially a main eventer in my eyes, now. Not that my eyes mean shit. But it's certainly a defining career moment for the man, and while I am not the biggest mark for the guy -- I have really gone to appreciate moments of his work. Certainly a feel-good story for a man that used to be universally panned as a useless waste of space and money.

If Henry loses the title back to Orton at HiaC, I will lose all faith in WWE's ability to book properly.

Christian's first title reign=2-5 days.
Christian's second title reign=1 month?
ADR's first title reign=1 month

The whole let's change the title from new guy A back to Cena/Orton is getting old.

Xero

09-21-2011, 10:39 AM

Yeah, there is no fucking way they can have Henry lose at HIAC. After the two promos he's cut so far, it would absolutely destroy his credibility.

And Henry is fucking awesome. He's a big reason why I try to keep up with SmackDown!. I'm also looking forward to someone actually being able to take the big man down. It'll get them over huge. Essentially, they have the tools in Henry to make two new legit main eventers - himself and whoever ultimately beats him.

Ermaximus

09-21-2011, 10:40 AM

Then again, this IS the WWE we're talking about Xero. WWE likes to build guys up (see Kingston, Kofi) and then just drop them out of the blue.

Xero

Well, yeah, that's true. I'm always open to ball dropping with WWE.

i think he okay.

Jordan

09-21-2011, 11:13 AM

I really dig the new story and like all of you I really hope WWE keeps the belt on him for a good run. I could however, see at HIAC Henry dominating until the lights go off and we see the fire and pyro explode to see the return of KANE who then rips the door off the cell and takes out Henry and Orton both, maybe putting them in the hospital so we don't have a winner and we have a real Survivor Series 3 or 4 way if the decide to add Christian, that would be a great match that could help define the new "Suvivor Series". Whoever won that match would be a true Survivor. /dreams

Ermaximus

09-21-2011, 11:18 AM

If WWE was smart, Henry would hold the title until AT LEAST Elimination Chamber. There you could have Henry, Orton, Sheamus, Christian, a returning Kane, and let's say Sin Cara for shits and giggles. From here it wouldn't matter who won, I'd prefer Sheamus or Christian, but whatever. Then at WM, have whoever the title holder is face Danielson.

Xero

09-21-2011, 11:24 AM

I still say he should hold it into Mania because it would add to the epicness of whoever beats him.

Innovator

09-21-2011, 11:29 AM

Yes I'm psyched. Very psyched. Mark Henry finally reached his potential and found a believable angle to come from. The 15 year vet who got shit on finally figured out he's an angry, big, strong black guy. That's a believable guy.

And he still has an amazing theme song.

Xero

09-21-2011, 11:32 AM

Unfortunately, I don't think he'll make up the millions they spent on him all the years he was a complete joke.

09-21-2011, 11:48 AM

I'm not but don't get me wrong I'm still pleased that WWE finally recognized all his years of service by finally giving him a real monster push like they did his reign is gonna suck though I just know it.

They should Mark Henry defend the belt in the Rumble match, come out at no.1, and eliminate every single motherfucker after him.

Agreed, if built up properly it could get Bryan over amazingly well as the one guy who managed to beat Mark Henry. Although they'd have to make it believable that Bryan won somehow, which would be difficult as Big Show, Kane, Sheamus, Orton and whoever else from now til then wouldn't have been able to topple Henry.

09-21-2011, 01:44 PM

I don't mind Henry as the champion. However, I do not want him going into Mania as the champ. He should hold it until the Rumble and lose it to someone there. It will probably be Orton or Sheamus.

Personally, i think a Bryan v Henry match at Mania for the World Heavyweight Championship would be terrible.

Xero

09-21-2011, 01:50 PM

It doesn't even need to be Bryan. He could just drop MITB beforehand. It could be someone they bring up or want to push to the top. There's plenty of time to do something with someone that hasn't wrestled Henry.

I don't think Bryan vs Henry would be terrible. It wouldn't be a technical masterpiece, but Henry can play the big strong man perfectly, and Bryan can play his speed, strikes, aerial and submissions against the monster. It would require them to actually give Bryan a mean streak from at least the Rumble, but it COULD be buyable enough, and very entertaining.

This match is going to be the throw away main event anyway so it won't matter if Henry still holds it.

im excited about it because they have built it up to make it seem like he could easily have a dominating title reign. i just find it funny, i remember not to long ago a huge concensus of the forum would lol, or make fun of people who asked, or said mark henry could be champ. now it seems like everyone is all for it.

I don't expect this to change anytime soon. What with "SmackDown! being booked around Orton".

C'mon, you know that man is Orton.

Xero

09-21-2011, 02:54 PM

I said they had the tools, not that they'd use them. Honestly, yeah, it'll probably bump back to Orton before Mania. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it happens before the year is out.

Emperor Smeat

Not super excited but also somewhat happy that he is champion because they managed to build him up really well leading up to the title.

Similar to his run up to the ECW title reign, they actually booked him well enough instead of just the usual monster style push and then sudden stop like countless times in the past.

A bit shocked at how dominate he was made for the title match more than him actually having a reign.

I don't think they'll let him hold it until Mania. I still believe the push is more of a "thanks for so many years of good service" type gesture and less of them finally seeing something in Henry after 15 years.

I still can't buy Mark Henry as champ. He seems too... Mark Henry-ish. We've seen him come "close" to getting it a few times, and used as a "monster" who the other guy beats (but just barley). He took out two guys who were a little higher on the food chain than him, but used for the same thing (Big Show/Kane), and all of the sudden he's no longer filler...

Mark Henry needs to hold the belt for 15 years. He can lose it at WM43 against John Cena for his 121st title reign.

Fox

09-24-2011, 04:04 AM

They will kill his push by bringing back Mae Young, who reveals they have been having an on-again/off-again relationship ever since 1998, and that "Mark doesn't call anymore" since he won the World Title. She will distract him from his vicious focus as of late, and cause him to lose the World Title to Christian. On Smackdown he will go backstage and find his old Sexual Chocolate uniform lying on top of a mannequin hand, and later that night, will return to the ring as Sexual Chocolate and win back the World Heavyweight Title, Hulk Hogan circa 1999 style.

100% agreed, TL. His promos were good. I actually hope he is giving a good dominant run with the WHC. Glad to see that after 15 years, he made this accomplishment. Just hope they don't go with the same formula as they did with Christian. AND, I don't see why not having William Regal become WHC for his services would hurt anything...:drool:

Hell in a Cell: Mark Henry pins Orton to retain the World Heavyweight Title (perhaps with some Cody Rhodes interference) and Sheamus defeats Christian to become the new #1 Contender.

Vengeance: Henry pins Sheamus, but then a familiar promo hits, and Kane is back to get a piece of Henry.

Survivor Series: Randy Orton, Sheamus, Kane & Big Show team to face Mark Henry, Christian, Cody Rhodes & Wade Barrett. The faces win, since it can build them up as challengers to Henry.

TLC: Orton takes the World Heavyweight Title from Henry.

Royal Rumble: Henry gets his rematch against Orton, but is pinned cleanly with the RKO. Henry then enters the Royal Rumble and looks like a beast, but is eventually tossed by Kane.

Elimination Chamber: Orton defends the World Heavyweight Title in an Elimination Chamber against Mark Henry, Christian, Kane, Sheamus and Cody Rhodes. Or something of the like. Orton successfully retains.

WrestleMania: Daniel Bryan defeats Randy Orton to become the new World Heavyweight Champion while Mark Henry faces Kane.
