TimLivingston Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That Goldberg match was fucking fantastic. And Goldberg worked that on a broken ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 There was a match on Raw against Terry Funk that Henry had really early in Henry's run -- I think he was still in The Nation -- that was very good from my memory.Henry is one of the ultimate "What If?" guys in wrestling. There's no telling where he'd rank on the all-time list if he wasn't so injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanWaco Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 He had a lights out match with Michaels that year on Raw. Â Think about this. Â I'm complimenting a post-comeback Michaels match.... Â Also really enjoyed his series with Booker T, which didn't produce a great match, but produced several really fun sprints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRV Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The only way a Henry/Usos team would work for me is if Henry carries the Usos to the ring on his shoulders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no telling where he'd rank on the all-time list if he wasn't so injury prone.  I'm not sure how much more he would have been allowed to do anyway though. As much as Vince loves his big giants, their purpose has always been to squash midcarders before jobbing to the all-American top babyface to prove his strength.  So, a few short title runs and a few big main events. That's all there was ever going to be in the WW.

DJ Hero Morganti Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Mark Henry should be the angry god that the Haka summons. The Uso's do the Haka: "Somebody gone get they ass whipped" blares over the speakers, Henry enters the arena, and the Crowd goes wild. Â There is your Summerslam entrance WWE. Â Book it!

Tromatagon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Usos do the haka, then Mark Henry kills them. Then he kills all the Shield, then he kills all of you for thinking he needs partners. Nice knowing you, gentlemen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Henry is taking the Usos under his wing for daring to splash him. See, forget the fake retirment speech, that was the best Mark Henry moment this year. "NOBODY SPLASHES ME!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The one where Mark doesn't catch Terry when he does the Asai moonsault? I swear that was on Shotgun Saturday Night though. Â Only bad I can say about this Raw is 1. Orton starting, 2. RVD/Jericho being sad as hell until they picked up halfway through (also: RVD's hair is thinning which I don't think anyone else mentioned -- it's not just the shitty haircut) aaaaaaaand that's about it. Maddox came across as a great personality with legit acting skills which I was surprised by. They even got the Divas working great!

Big Rob Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The one where Mark doesn't catch Terry when he does the Asai moonsault? I swear that was on Shotgun Saturday Night thoughI gave this a watch yesterday, it was definitely Raw unless they did the same in a Shotgun match as well. It certainly wasn't a good showing for Mark as a big man, he instantly got taken down with a neckbreaker with no struggle from Funk. Not really a good showing from either guy.

Curt McGirt Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It might be Raw, whichever it is I've got it on VHS somewhere. Terry complained about not being caught in his book. I remember him nuking his thighs on the guardrail pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him nuking his thighs on the guardrail pretty bad.  Terry hit his legs on the guardrail every time he did the Asai moonsault during his 1998 run. I couldn't believe he kept doing the spot to the side of the ring instead of towards the entrance way. The Henry match was definitely on Raw, though. It was a KOTR tournament match.  If you want a surprisingly decent Mark Henry attitude match, check out him vs. Owen from, I wanna say, February 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 By then he was a little over middle aged and way more than crazy. If he'd hit those potato-looking knees of his doing that he'd be in a wheelchair by now. I can see his reason for not doing it without anything to cushion his fall period, however. If he did the Asai to people that wouldn't catch him on the ramp side, like Mark and The Wall in WCW failed to, he'd just faceplant and end up suffering worse damage. Best to not moonsault at all, but now we've come full circle to my first sentence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick32 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Just catching Raw now after coming home from the in-laws on UHD. RVD looked like the old RVD in that Jericho match. The hit spots, the missed spots, he looked like it was 5 years ago. That senton off the top rope was pretty swank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto19788602013 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 All urs truly is going to say on WWE Raw : 07/15/2013 is this : WWE Summerslam is going to be totally awesome with matches like : Punk vs Lesnar, Cena vs Bryan for ............... WWE Title, Henry & Usos vs Shield [ An Big Possibility ], & ......................... Dolph vs Big E. That's exactly what i'm thinking is going to happen. Going to see tonight's raw & watch what occurs.
