Mark Henry may have just stumbled on a brilliant gimmick
 
"In a recent interview, WWE superstar Mark Henry says he travels alone on the road because if he were to get pulled over by the police for some reason and they found drugs on someone else he would get blamed for them too. "


Mark Henry would be a alot more entertaining if he just went around hating on white wrestlers like in a shoot kinda way. Like actually be a black racist gimmick. Kinda like Nation of Domination, but Henry would go around saying shit like in that qoute above. I think it'd be fucking amazing.

SammyG 07-15-2007 10:09 AM

rofl, that is a genius idea

Afterlife 07-15-2007 10:14 AM

No, the black racist thing is lame and played out. If he wanted to act all pious, THAT would be interesting.

He could claim that everyone is on steroids except him, and that even his natural strength is superior their medicated bodies and their "filthy systems". That would be unique and a new angle for Henry.

Racist Minority? Gimme a break.

Londoner 07-15-2007 10:15 AM

^ yeah i agree, lol@ the steroids gimmick. Haha.

RP 07-15-2007 10:20 AM

RACIST MINORITY IS STILL REAL TO ME DAMMIT!

Afterlife 07-15-2007 10:28 AM

Well, think about it. A steroids-based gimmick is one I don't recall them using, and now is a great time to throw it in the media's face. If the reporters want to make out like the company is the Steroid Devil, then let's throw the cynicism right back at 'em with a character bragging about being clean in a more obnoxious way than Mr. Punk.

And let's make it the World's Strongest Man, just for laughs.

a racist steroid gimmick...

Afterlife 07-15-2007 10:36 AM

I'll kill you.

Kane Knight 07-15-2007 11:09 AM

There are no drugs in pro wrestling, because the Wellness Policy Works!

Blue Demon 07-15-2007 11:15 AM

YA...GO WELLNESS PROGRAM!

IC Champion 07-15-2007 12:23 PM

Nation of Domination.

Mr. JL 07-15-2007 12:27 PM

On the topic of Mark Henry... what the hell is a SILVERBACK? I hear Cole every week calling him the Silverback.

Kane Knight 07-15-2007 12:37 PM

Silverback is a gorilla.

He's calling Mark Henry a big fucking gorilla. Which he is. He's big, strong, and not on the same branch of the evolutionary scale as the rest of us.

Afterlife 07-15-2007 01:30 PM

It's also a name they stole from Ryan Reeves.

Kane Knight 07-15-2007 01:32 PM

It's not exactly a new description of big guys. Especially if they're black, and therefore clearly inferior.

Afterlife 07-15-2007 01:38 PM

Yeah, except Reeves was white, not exactly tall, and the only TE contestant I"ve ever seen to come in AND go out with a nickname. Hell, he even had "The Silverback" T-shirts.

Kane Knight 07-15-2007 01:59 PM

It's hard to say he stole it from him, though.

BigDaddyCool 07-15-2007 02:56 PM

There is a gimmick for him. Mark Henry could start being up other animal, then take on the WWF.

I want to see Panda take a Mark Henry bump through a flaming table.

Not if you try.

Kane Knight 07-16-2007 08:52 AM

Not if you try to be incredibly linear minded.

You know what? Simon Dean would be perfect.

He joined the roster to promote his Simon System, right? So have him return, saying that his company is pulling out their sponsor of WWE because he doesn't want the bad image of steroids tainting the reputation of his all-natural, drug-free system. Who needs "performance enhancers" when you have "physique engancers"?

Have some noble, Americana propaganda face like, i dunno...um...Fuck, Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Sure, Hacksaw comes out with the ol' "you think you're so great, then why are you leavin'?" shtick. "Prove you're a man and put your money where your mouth is," genreic pride stuff. Dean says he doesn't have to prove his system works, because it talks for itself. That's when Henry comes out.

Mark Henry: Spokesman for the Simon System.

Bring back the Gymini, and you've got the physically largest stable I can think of, and the whole thing is a reverse-face storyline. You have the guys that are bragging about being steroid-free beating on all the guys they also claim need enhancers to "stay in the game".

From there, Dean re-signs his sponsorship on the condition that he gets air-time every week to display the high quality of his system -- by having his goons beat on alleged "Juicers".

The WWE rarely uses a polar reversal, and I think having Simon Dean return as an anti-steroid fanatic would be amazing, especially with the irony of The World's Strongest Man as his go-to guy.

"Liner" as in "time line"? 'Cause....Reeves was there first.

YOUR Hero 07-16-2007 10:16 AM

I have a feeling once the controversy dies down a little more, the 'creative team' will use such angles.

Afterlife 07-16-2007 10:28 AM

Now is the time!


...Oh....I see your point.

road doggy dogg 07-16-2007 10:49 AM

I would rofl so hard if Mark Henry picked up a racist gimmick.

Afterlife 07-16-2007 11:03 AM

...Why? I'm legitinately asking, here. So many people bitch and moan about Creative kicking the horse's corpse with repeats and do-overs, why would ANYONE want to see a big black guy calling white people bad names?

He is not fat! He is the WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN!

Y2Ant 07-16-2007 07:44 PM

Have him come out eating a bucket of fried chicken and some watermelon, and he can spit watermelon seeds in his opponents eyes to win matches. And he can form a nig nog stable with Cryme Tyme.

Also, bring back Steve Blackman and have him form a Hindu stable with Daivari.

mrslackalack 07-16-2007 10:03 PM

haha

El Dandy 07-17-2007 01:19 PM

bring back D'lo Brown. They're great together.
