Pre-Show Stalwart
I'm sure most of you are aware that Henry has wrestled in the WWE/WWF for a very long time. Through his career of various gimmicks (including the almost embarrassing "Sexual Chocolate" character, and his affair with... do I really have to say it?) he's never really shown a great deal of success.
He had various stints between 2002 and 2004, but never amounted to any serious levels of success. He then suffered a serious injury, and disappeared from TV again.
Coming closer to the modern day, Henry was given a push in the late 00s, "crushing" superstars as well as having a short stint in the main event as a monster heel, fueding for a short time with Batista before Batista's infamous tricep injury. Henry gained some serious momentum from "taking out" various superstars, but then suffered another serious injury, and lost TV time and credibility.
Another brief stint of success on Smackdown! saw Henry costing Undertaker the world title, attacking him after he'd retained his title in a steel cage match. A forgettable feud with the Undertaker came soon after, and Henry began to appear on ECW programming.
Eventually, he was actually drafted to ECW, where he became the ECW Champion in his first match as an ECW Superstar. Henry then began a dominant reign as champion, ultimately losing his title to Matt Hardy in the Championship Scramble match. Henry and his manager Tony Atlas then feuded with Finlay in another pretty forgettable storyline, which saw Hornswoggle destroying credibility the way that only he can.
Now we have the modern day. Henry went over Orton on his debut on Raw, then teamed with MVP to become a superface.
Now when his music hits, the fans go crazy, and Henry gets some of the biggest pops of the night. What does this mean for Henry? Raw is cluttered and there's only really one big story on the go at the moment, but is it possible for Henry to shine now?
To have only held the European and ECW championships in a career so long and crisped with main-event storylines seems unfulfilling. So what are your thoughts?
- Does Henry have a main event run and perhaps a world title reign still in him?
- Is Henry too popular to be denied another main even run?
- Is Henry's injury record just too comprehensive for him to be given another title?
- Or will Henry simply slink away into "Team Raw" in this Nexus storyline?
Any thoughts and opinions are welcome.
