2002. Rookie Orton needs a partner to defeat Batista/DVon. He recruits the worlds strongest man, and says he can't lose with him on his side in a backstage segment.The start of this complex relationship.
2003. Both Orton and Henry were on Team Bischoff. Keeping up as teammates.
2006. Henry and Orton team again to take on Angle and Rey on Smackdown. This culminates in Orton holding Angle on a table and telling Henry to "squash his ass", which he does after he splashes off the turnbuckle. Still reliable partners
2008. Arm wrestling between Henry and John Cena. Orton comes out and attacks Cena. There's a backstage interview where Henry and Orton are talking together, and they both swear there was no set up. They walk off together.
2009. This is where things go sour. Orton has to run an ECW gauntlet, he beats Bourne and Swagger lets him off easy, but Mark Henry comes out, and throws their friendship away by slamming him and pinning him clean.
2011. And the boiling point. After being named #1 contender, Orton and Henry cut heated promos about Henry's ability to win the big one, and eventually Henry once again beats Orton clean to win the WHC.
Such a storied history here. I found all these segments on youtube and thought it was funny how far back it stretched, just little things here and there.
