Mark Henry Appreciation Thread: Hands and all.

['Foretold' Joker]

This is the thread to champion the man that is managed by Tony Atlas.

The man who is a former ECW Champion and gave the hall of fame duo of the Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young a helping hand.

He's a decent big man who doesn't get a fair appraisal of his talents. I have been slowly but surely been impressed with his abilities and wrestling skill over the last few years as a monster heel.

So I hope others will agree with me and cheer on Mark Henry, and I hope he has a good showing in the MitB at Wrestlemania.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I'm not a huge fan, but he's a hard worker, and I honestly don't mind him being in the MITB match.

[queenbee]

Sexual Chocolate! Is he the father of Mae Young's hand-born?
It still bugs me and haunts me every now and then

[CenaIs]

He has some very manly bingo wing'age going on in that first photo.

[taylorandborland]

He coined "gimme mah title", a highly underappreciated phrase in wrestling history. What's not to like?

[Hawk Hart]

I don't hate him, but he isn't my favorite. He's one of like 4 guys that has been around since I started actively watching and paying attention. I respect what he's done.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

He's certainly......sweatier than your average wrestler. (I'm sorry, but I wracked my brains for ten minutes to come with a nice thing to say about the Mark Henry we see on screen, and that's all I could come up with.)

[Sajoa Moe]

One of the reasons that ECW is my favorite WWE program.

Also, can't go wrong with The World's Strongest Santa.

Sadly, a gimmick of his has been usurped by one man:

[hargh]

He has improved, be it minimal. Still nothing special in my opinion.

[clifford]

Really improved in the last eighteen months. Still, he has been with the company for almost THIRTEEN YEARS.

[fuzzywarble, squat cobbler]

He's a fellow Texan.

[The Tank]

I appreciate.

He's been awesome since his return in '05 or whenever it was.

[Deleted]

The man makes the Splash look like Death

[dlg3000]

It could be worse. He could have improved none in thirteen years. I admit ECW is certainly the place for him. He seems to have been in lingo and trying for years until he wrestled the Taker, Benoit, etc on Smackdown and now on ECW. I have learned to appreciate him.

[Cactus Jack]

I really bought him as a monster heel in 2006. Also, I love his theme.

[Just Jay]

Mark Henry is all kinds of awesome. I think he really began hitting his stride in 2006, and letting that blossom to take off in 2008 as ECW champion. I really hope he wins the Mitb match. Its about time he gets a major world title. Hopefully.

[Reptar]

I don't like him, but that just means he's a good heel.

[Dynamite Kid]

The last three or four years, he has finally become what he was always supposed to be.

[Albino Heat]

No one splits wigs like Mark.

I'm very intrigued for MITB this year, and a lot of it has to do with Henry.
