The real reason WWE had to hire Tony Atlas

[CM Crünk is teh 'CRAP!]

The main reason WWE brought in Tony Atlas is not because he is mentoring Mark Henry but to travel with Henry.The reason of this is because Henry travels alone and eat's a lot of fatty foods.So Tony's main job is to keep Henry in good condition and keep him in good weight by using diets and other techniques.

...Not doing a very good job, is he?

So they thought Tony was George Foreman

[Next Level was WRONG]

Could they stick Dreamer in with them?

[Trip Fisk a.k.a. Foley is Good]

It's all lies. Henry has been racking up a huge cellaphone bill so they called upon Tony to help lower his bill.

There's Dreamer with the chair... cause he's fat...

[chunkylover53]

Did Mark Henry ever eat on camera or even during a match? Why does Tony Atlas have to accompany him there?

[Andrew is Good]

That's what happens when you travel with Tommy Dreamer.

And two people came in before me anyway. Everytime I think of fatty foods, I think of Dreamer. I think everyone thinks of Dreamer.

Sounds like Newz make up by Newbs on NewzUCantUseCuzUCantCMe.Com.

Even Mike Rowe would say "No thanks" to that job.

[Push R Truth]

I don't believe it. Seems newzy

[icansleep]

Did anyone else get a whiff of that smark bait?

[The Immoral One]

It makes sense I guess, cause i dont really see any other reason to hire him besides out of pity or a favor. He doesn't add much to Henry and basically does nothing. Usually a manager should be a good speaker, but Atlas can barely speak English.

All in all I'm happy he has a job. i know he had some financial troubles so Im happy for him.

[KimberlyPagesBoyToy]

They could have gotten Richard Simmons to do out of charity what they're paying Tony Atlas to do! Could you imagine the hilarity as Henry talks about cake as Richard struts up and yells , "Noooo, you're doing so well Markie!"

[BitterAF]

I saw this reported a few weeks ago, not sure if it was on here or gerweck.

[RedSmile]

That makes no sense. Why Tony Atlas of all people? Since when has WWE cared about diets? How does WWE keep track of what Mark eats? Like I said, this makes no sense....

I go there all the time. Pretty reliable stuff, at least not any less reliable than a prowrestlingscoops.com or a lordsofpain.net

The real question here is why Henry still has a job if he can't cut a promo, can't wrestler, can't control his diet and can't draw.

Look, we get that Mark can't put on the sort of match that'd please an RoH Crowd, but that isn't the same thing as "can't wrestle".

And it hasn't really been the heel's job to be the draw since Flair back in the NWA Territory days.
