This explains why the finish to the main event was so weird. For those of you who haven't seen it: {Spoiler}The match comes back from commercial with Daniel Bryan beating up Big Show after Mark Henry had apparently been counted out.

Damn it poor Henry is rapidly becoming the Mr. Anderson, ANDERSON, of 2011. And just when he finally developed a nice gimmick no less.

Henry was being praised backstage for working through his groin injury and they told him to take time off, he said no and continued to do it. Come to find out this happens next with his leg. Man, I'll say that Henry need to do something. I wonder if he'll still compete in the Rumble match and will be put out of action for a while. He'd be great as a commentator.

This reminds me of Kurt Angle's weekly injury when he started falling apart.

That's really a shame. Henry probably decided to work through his injury because he didn't want to lose the biggest roll he'd been on in his long career (and at his age, his chances of getting another shot down the line aren't good), only to end up reinjured even more seriously.
Mark's been doing fantastic work these last few months and I'll hate to see him off TV, but he probably needs a break to let his body heal.

Yeah. Henry isn't making it and I believe Show's still injured. I wouldn't be all that shocked if Bryan ended up facing a "mystery opponent" at the Rumble, when it's all said and done. As for Henry, yeah he hasn't had too many injuries, but he's also been in the WWE for nearly twenty years. Like Jericho, even if you aren't getting surgery every other year, that has to wear on you big time. But how great would it be if Teddy announced he had found a replacement, the cage slams in place and... GO!They'll just push Jinder Mahal instead.

use this to turn Show heel.
He's a monster who will hurt anyone to get the title back.

How would you use it to turn Show heel? Henry is a borderline face right now. The crowd was popping for his lines on Smackdown, so either that's what they want, or they popped even louder than that and WWE turned it down.

So in his quest for the world title Show has injured two faces basically.

I do not consider Bryan fully turned, until he goes up against a face, and with no motivation acts completely heelish. This would stop the Bryan heel turn, which I consider dumb as hell and make Show the heel I mean suppose AJ came out on Sunday, said Show was lying about apologizing to her in person and she and Mark Henry provided some distraction that allowed Bryan to win.

Ohhh that does look painful, especially considering Mark Henry's size.

Looks like Mark Henry isn't doing so well.

I have a feeling Henry will take a WMD in the beginning and be knocked out the entire match.

God, I hope it's not too bad... he deserves a WrestleMania payday for his effort in the last 8 months or so.

I wonder if they'll take him out of the cage match, like have him brutally attacked by Bryan before it starts or something. Not sure how they could do it, but Bryan needs something to make him look somewhat credible.

Just end the brand extension. Have one World title to rule them all. One show having trouble time and time again, it's just ridiculous. They have more than enough guys who could feud with the champion, even if they made that person champ for 2 years. This. This so much. Absolutely. I'd prefer the whole brand split be nixed and treat it like one big company, and spread the talent evenly on the two shows every week. Smackdown could still be kind of the B-Show, and give the midcard more exposure but still have some top guys on each week, rotating in and out. The thing I haven't liked that much about this "SuperShow" format is that the Smackdown guys still usually wrestle the same old Smackdown guys. They have an opportunity to keep match ups more fresh but they just bang the same combinations of wrestlers down our throat on both shows.
