Before he was injured he was making up the numbers on whatever brand he was on. His (baffling) monster push ended in January.
Henry has never been relevant. Not even when he was world champion. He'll return in a mid-card role and do absolutely nothing of interest.
He wasn't relevant as world champion? How do you figure that? I'm pretty sure once you are world champion you are by default relevant. You're on every PPV and one television at least once a week otherwise. Most of the time the main angle of the show revolves around you. It certainly did during Mark Henry's WHC title run.
I doubt that Mark Henry will be relevant again. He's boring and I still cannot fathom why so many posters here enjoyed his run last year.
Probably because it was the best monster heel push this side of Umaga. He took out giants like Big Show and Kane and was morphed from a fairly harmless wrestler to the biggest threat in the WWE. What's not to like?
The man can get heel heat when needed, but goodness his matches are boring and he is an absolute JOKE.
No Dagger,
you're an absolute joke. I know I'm not alone when I say that Henry's match with Punk on Raw was one of Punk's best matches this year, arguably in the top 3. While he doesn't exactly electrify with his matches, he always puts on a very satisfying performance. I assure you, the crowd loved Big Show vs. Mark Henry at Survivor Series.
His entire career he had been booked to be a joke, other than the Royal Rumble matches when he mysteriously transforms into A THREAT TO WIN, and last year WWE expected us to believe he was World Championship material? I don't think so. I never took him seriously and I still won't when he comes back.
You're stupidity knows no bounds. You do realize that even before his WHC run he had an ECW run where he was booked as unstoppable and wound up winning the ECW Title. After that he was neutered when he became a face, but when he went back to his heel ways he was immediately a threat again.
And you didn't buy him as World Heavyweight Champion? Beating the Big Show in a one on one match and then injuring him didn't drive home the point for you? What about taking out Kane the next night? And then Vladamir Kozlov? And then being able to beat Sheamus on PPV. And then he beat Randy Orton CLEAN for the belt.
So tell me, Dagger, what part of that build makes it impossible to buy Mark Henry as World Heavyweight Champion?
Why is he not going to be relevant again? He can't work an entertaining match, has had very few angles worth remembering, is a joke as a face, is BORING as a heel, and cannot be taken seriously. I spent half of his world title run laughing at him and the other half fast forwarding.
Well thankfully the WWE doesn't use you as a measuring stick for wrestling because you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. The Hall of Pain angle breathed life into a Smackdown that was suffering with nobody to carry the show. It was the best Smackdown angle of 2011, and everyone I know loved it. Well, except for you, but you suck.
I feel sorry for anyone who gets stuck working a world title feud with him as the title holder again.
CM Punk, Sheamus, Orton, and Big Show have all put on very solid matches with him. I feel sorry for people who
don't get to work with him as he's probably the best SHW the WWE has going for them right now. He could do wonders for guys like Ryback or Brodus Clay.
In conclusion: Mark Henry was easily one of the best wrestlers of 2011, the Hall of Pain was easily one of the best angles of 2011, and you have no idea what you're talking about. I feel sorry for the people who read your posts.
