WRESTLER OF THE DAY: MARK HENRY


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

The best heel trash talker ever? Probably.

My favorite Mark Henry heel moments:

1) He did an in-ring interview with JR. At the end, he wrapped JR's tie in his fist and started choking him and said something like, "This is the part where you beg for your life!" So awesome.

2) He came down to the ring during some Prime Time Players match and whipped Titus O'Neil into the barricade while everyone else fled. "Grown folks is gonna talk."

3) Him referencing "Men's Warehouse" around the time he did the awesome fake out on Cena.

I think maybe the most impressive thing about Henry, on a list of impressive things, is that he's really the guy who wrote that poem about Owen Hart years ago. He's that guy but he can portray such a character. It's not like Ric Flair who's basically Ric Flair.

So we all fondly remember the Cena fake-out moment and that feud. It was a truly awesome segment.

But what I thought showed more skill was when Henry turned face after that feud ended. The skill he showed in that was insane. The crowd was giving him a "You tapped out!" chant. "He'd tap all your asses out, too." Beautiful work in getting back in the fans good graces.

What amazes me about Henry is that he looks like the baddest motherfucker on the planet in-ring and the cuddliest dude in the world when he does personal appearances. He toes that line brilliantly.

The night after Mania 29, him and Punk tore the house down with a match that was, basically, a hybrid of ROH, WWE main event style, and Sting vs. Vader.

The no dq rematch a couple of weeks later wasn't nearly as good by still worth seeing. Should be both on the network
