Infinit Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Just read that Sunny is wearing her WWE Hall OF Fame ring in her upcoming adult film. I wonder how Vince will feel about that lol.
JRGoldman Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 .oh god, I just can't stand the damn slow counting and those shitty sounds the fans make.. Barbaro Cavernario is the best! <3 I'll take random air horns going off over fans chanting 'we are awesome' every day of the week and twice on Sundays. We are agreed on the second point. 1
stro Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 The only thing that ever topped "We Are Awesome" in terms of "Jesus Christ this is why I hide being a fan of wrestling" behavior was "We deserve it". Followed by the Full Sail crowd trying to shit on this giant moment for all the people they've been watching for 2 years because they were greedy and childish fucks.

RandomAct Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Mark Henry had a really, really good match with Terry Funk in 98 on Raw. Don't have an exact date, but worth tracking down. 1
GOTNW Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I know early Henry gets shit on but I liked him a lot as a guy that just did slams and splashes. Terry Funk was the best worker in 1998 WWF.
Jiji Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Mark Henry had a really, really good match with Terry Funk in 98 on Raw. Don't have an exact date, but worth tracking down. This is like 99% Terry Funk being a senile bastard. Holy crap! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xw6rtc_1998-06-01-kotrqm-mark-henry-vs-terry-funk_sport Vince does his best to ruin the match but Funk AIN'T HAVIN' IT. 5 minute mark...
mattdangerously Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Mark Henry had a really, really good match with Terry Funk in 98 on Raw. Don't have an exact date, but worth tracking down. It's on the Network, and yeah, it's a blast. Funk does an Asai Moonsault that's about as graceful as you can imagine 54 year old Terry Funk can pull off.
Web Conn Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Here's another early Mark Henry match I found that was fun and high impact and the brawl at the end was fun too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxZwRKT36nY

That match was way more fun than I had even hoped. Henry is green as gooseshit but Funk leads him along well. I popped for the "Al Issacs Sucks" sign at the beginning as well. 1
Hagan Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Watched the Resurrection of Jake Robert doc. Pretty heartwarming story and the physical transformation of Jake and Hall is wonderful to see but the movie is a little infomercially at times and there's a sense of the performative about it. Basically, it's exactly what you think a DDP documentary would be.
clintthecrippler Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 What the hell ever happened to Al Isaacs anyway? He seems like someone that might make for a fun podcast guest if anyone could track him down, even if just to get to the bottom of who kept feeding him the "Yokozuna's joining the Hart Foundation" rumor.
Curt McGirt Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I still have that Raw taped somewhere. Terry completely nuking his hip/legs on the rail is just insane. That year he was 53 years old, and he's still wrestling eighteen years later. Incredible. Poor Terry's luck with people catching him on his moonsaults. Cactus, Onita, and some others didn't in FMW which he bitched about in his book, and then the Wall did the same thing. He must've forgot about Mark.

He's a touring stand up comic and teaches improv somewhere in New York. He sold Scoops in the late 90s/early 2000s and ekind of quietly left "the scene".
BurningBeard Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 The Angle series in '06 is the first time I remember thinking that Henry was really good, and then he had that '08 that put him over the top and the Hall of Pain run that's probably my second favorite main roster run for anyone outside of Daniel Bryan in the last seven or eight years. He was trained by the great Leo Burke (from the Maritimes!) IIRC, so it's no shock that he eventually got it and became awesome. In retrospect, that match against John Cena at MitB for the WWE Championship is probably his swan song in terms of great matches. Man, it was so good. My WWE MotY for 2013. This. I'm amazed that run didn't establish him as a bona-fide main eventer from that point on but I guess with constant injuries niggling away and wanting to quit a long time ago it makes sense why he wasn't.
RIPPA Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 In regards to Mark Henry - I know for me that the ultimate "Holy Fuck I love this guy" moment - was when he came out and was supposed to rip the cage door off except they forgot to gimmick the door/chain. So everyone was all LOL!!! LOOK HOW STUPID HENRY LOOKED!!!! and I was all "Umm... motherfuckers - he ended up legit ripping the door off" 5
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Yeah, it LOOKED stupid at first, but he ripped a fucking chained door cleanly off! Never fuck with Mark!
Buy Me a Burrito Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I'd rather watch Henry's retirement promo/angle thing with Cena than any CM Punk promo or match ever. 11
RIPPA Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 I would like to see a gif of this if possible. The VQ is terrible but here is the video. See the description and comments to reinforce my point http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11k2r_mark-henry-fights-a-steel-cage_sport 1
Brian Fowler Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I vividly remember that, and the same thought process: Why were people joking about this, he tore it open legit! That brief run hanging with MNM was a blast. The battle royal where Angle won the belt after Batista forfeited it was incredible, and Henry was reason 1A.
RonL21 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Weren't Rocky and Mark the first devopmental guys? I seem to remember them both telling stories about how the WWF/E put them in apartment together in NY or CT and they pretty much just trained everyday.
Big Fresh Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Even though the joke was overplayed here, the air bill line was when I turned around on Henry. Actually, as an altogether package, I bought into him due to his shit talking more than his matches, which did get good later.
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Oh, I mixed 2 accounts of Henry and a cage door together.
