I made this thread on the TNA boards for Bully Ray, but I think Mark Henry deserves the same.
Mark Henry is the best heel in the WWE right now and maybe the top guy in the company right now. Like Bully Ray, he just gets it. He's a heel. He wants people to hate him. He doesn't pander to the fans at all. He's sooooooo unlikable and he's scary as shit. You look at him right now and think nobody is going to beat him. He plays his role oh, so well.
Dare I say it, BUT, in my opinion, Mark Henry is the #1 reason to watch pro wrestling right now. He's amazing.

Yeah, I gotta give him props.
Ya know, since we are on the subject, I think it is funny how people will say "I hate this guy so much... He is a terrible heel!"
Talk about a paradox... and I'm not just talking about Mark Henry.

I agree. Mark Henry is my favorite in the WWE. In fact, my original screenname was worldsstrongestman.

I don't think he's quite on a par with Bully Ray in just being an amazing heel, but he's getting there. I don't think I'm helping his cause though, since I marked out when he beat Orton, then marked out at him putting Jerry through a table.

Mark did one thing that really set him apart from other heels.
When he won the title at Night Of Champions, he actually got a decent sized pop for it, but during the interview, he managed to scream talk the audience back into jeering him.
His performance as a totally unstoppable force has been gold since his initial heel turn at the draft show,

Henry is doing a great job, but credit WWE with how well they are booking him. He beat Orton clean and in a dominating manner. He's fighting the entire Smackdown locker room and winning. They are putting Mark in situations where he looks like a tremendous threat, and he's taking the opportunities the WWE are giving him and using them well.

I think he needs to exaggerate the heely traits that are doing well for him at the moment - just go all out, more talk, resentment & anger towards everyone, sometimes he seems "quite". I think it will go a long way in further legitimising some longevity in the character...

I don't watch a lot of smackdown so I haven't really got to see what all the fuss is about. I enjoyed his match at NOC though and that's something I don't think I've ever said about a MH match before.
He's tarred with the 15 years of suck that went before this decent run as far as I'm concerned though.

I'm happy Mark Henry finally got his dues. I remember when Big Show took out Mark Henry that one time, I just groaned because I thought they made him look like such a chump, but then he came back, better than ever and never looked back. That's how you do it folks. That's how you run with a push.

Mark Henry is playing a very believeable heel...he doesn't even get treated like the other heels in WWE. The lumberjack match and the reactions by the other wrestlers have shown that he is a lone wolf and it fits so perfectly to him. He got disrespected and mistreated by the WWE Universe and the lockerroom, he hates us the fans so much that he can't even stand us cheering him after he finally got the big one.
I can actually imagine Cena and Triple H jobbing to Mark Henry clean (no inferferences, no cheating etc). When was the last time you could say that about a heel?

Then again he always look'd/looks like he's going to punch his hand through someone's face. |

I hope they keep the strap on him until Wrestlemania, and then let Daniel Bryan beat him.
