BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 Teddy Long did a "whitey is holding us down promo", and said he was signing new talent. Out came Mark Henry, who would be signed by Teddy if he beat the local enhancement wrestler put before him by Long. Henry got the win. from 1wrestling.com in the international heat spoilers, which won't be shown in america Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 Why? I know they have him under a big (stupid) contract, so they feel like they gotta use him. But unless he's romancing old ladies he's completely useless on tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Repo Man jr 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 (How will/should they) explain this angle to the American audience? Well on RAW... JR: "Coming up next folks, it's Mark Henry facing Hurricane, and King, last week, on International Heat..." King: "International Heat, Woo-hoo..." JR: "Yes, on Internation Heat!!! Mark Henry joined Teddy Long... bah gawd" King: "This is massively exciting news JR!" While they are saying this a clip from International Heat plays.

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 I read somewhere that he lost mad weight ... maybe he'll be less of a worthless sac of crap now that he's thinner. Regardless, Henry at any weight is less annoying to me than Rikishi. I'd gladly welcome Mark Henry back if it meant never, ever having to see Rikishi again.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 Ok...Mark Henry was Smackdown last time he was around. So they just say Bradshaw got traded for Henry. It goes against the freezing of trades angle they did...but that was about 6 months ago, so no-one will remember! Oh, and Mark Henry is more valuable than most hosses his size. Not only is he a legitimate strongman and thus can be used promotionally for mainstream attention(to a certain point), but he has a decent amount of charisma. This isn't neccesarily a bad thing.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted August 19, 2003 I'm assuming that the Coach will join the stable as well. Did you see the way that he was staring at Jim Ross last time Ross came back and Coach had to leave? I'm sure Teddy Long will be seen talking to the Coach and telling him about whitey holding him down. Of course, it will all lead to Coach doing commentary when one of the members from the black pride stable wrestle. Teddy Long Rodney Mack Mark Henry Jazz The Coach *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 What happened to Rikishi anyways? They finally realized that he has no talent and is unbelievably boring. They still use him on rare occasions, (putting Matt over in the US Title tournament,) but they figured out that a Stinkface every Smackdown just isn't entertainment.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 I heard he "lost weight" before his last comback. And although he appeared a tad smaller he sucked just as much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And although he appeared a tad smaller he sucked just as much Henry reportedly did lose weight, but put it back on to compete in the 'World's Strongest Man' competition with WWE's permission.

It goes against the freezing of trades angle they did...but that was about 6 months ago, so no-one will remember! I was thinking the same thing. How are they going to explain this one? Mark Henry is a Smackdown wrestler now competing on RAW? But of course this stupid company didn't explain Bradshaw so they won't explain this. I guess they think all fans are stupid and have short memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Korgath Report post Posted August 22, 2003 It's only too obvious that when Rosey turned, they needed another monster man to feud with him. Enter Mark Henry. Of course, if they kept Rosey in the Playa's Club, none of this need have happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
