MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 The Henry rib is funny, but coming from Flair I think it was kind of low...considering Flair almost died in a plane crash. Exactly . . . which is why I'd of fallen for it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papacita 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Knowing Bill, he would be. Not to come down on you Rico, but you DON'T know him. How do you know whether or not he'd be mad about it? As for Mark Henry...I dunno. Maybe I just *DON'T* have the same sense of humor as the rest of you, because that seems mean as hell to me. Although I wonder why the hell Mark didn't check with any of the road agents or officials before getting off the plane. I mean, yeah, Ric's a legend and all, but get some OFFICIAL word before making a 10 hour drive. Still, they could've at least tried to stop him before he got off the plane. Edit: Typo.

Yeah, it's one of those things that are funny as hell when they happen to someone else, but when the situation is reversed, one would be P-I-S-S-E-D!!! On one hand, Mark Henry is making a ton of cha-ching and is totally useless. However, Teddy was probably driving, so I feel bad for him. On the other hand, it's not like Mark Henry can do anything about it. Not because Flair is a legend, but he's HHH favorite whipping boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 WWE chartered a plane for the talent after Sunday afternoon’s house show in Portland, ME. A funny story came out of it. It seems that the plane was overloaded and there was even said to be luggage in the aisles. From what I was told, Ric Flair then ribbed Mark Henry, saying that there was too much weight on the plane and it wasn’t safe to fly. Henry bit on the rib and ended up getting off of the plane and renting a car for the drive to Wilkes Barre, PA for Raw. Teddy Long, who travels with Henry, was said to be less than happy about having to drive for 10 hours instead of flying for one. The guys who stayed on the plane had a pretty good laugh. That's fucked up. I don't care how much money he makes, if I was Mark Henry, I'd be pissed off after that one. If I was Henry, I'd be a fuckin' idiot. The hate on Goldberg in this thread is beyond ridiculous, some of you guys need to wait until some news pops up that actually warrants a bashing. And no, shit from the past has no relevance to this.

Highland 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 For all we know these sorts of ribs happen all the time, and I doubt Mark Henry was the first or only person to ever be suckered into one. And yeah, if I was one of the guys on the plane, I'd be laughing with the rest of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't get over how stupid this is. This is one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever heard of. Goddamn. Side note; Henry must have SERIOUS esteem issues about his weight.

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Am I the only one who thinks that Henry knew it was a rib, but went along with it anyway? I remember reading somewhere (I think it was Have A Nice Day) that when a veteran ribs you, you're supposed to go along with it, even if you know that it's a rib.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Then why doesn't he lose any!? That's what he was fucking sent to OVW for all those years ago! To lose some damn weight. Has he!? Hell no! Same thing with the Big Show. When you're a wrestler and there's guys around you eating healthy all the time and working out at the gym all the time...it shouldn't be so hard to lose some god damn weight!

I can't get over how stupid this is. This is one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever heard of. Goddamn. Everyone down on Flair? There have been exactly two posts in here saying that the rib was wrong...both from me. Also, I never said anything about Henry complaining to the office. I said it was dumb of him to get off the plane without checking with an official first to make sure the whole thing was legit. And Henry's stupidity aside, my thing is that someone could've at least at least had the courtesy to tell him "hey, Ric was just kidding" before he got off to make the drive. Like I said...maybe it's just my sense of humor, but that seems wrong as hell to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 MARK HENRY just seemed stubborn at that point. Kudos to FLAIR. Hopefully he'll say something backstage one night that causes HENRY to leave forever. Why all the Henry hate? I know he's not a good wrestler or anything, but he doesn't deserve to be hated that much. How would you like it if someone wished someone would say something to make you quit your job? WWE knew what they were getting into when they signed him, and although Henry is partially responsible for not getting more talented over time, they never bothered to use him effectively, accept for the whole Chyna thing.

Also, just wanna make clear that I'm not trying to make a bigger deal out of it than it is. Honestly, I could care less about what they do to one another on the road, especially if Mark's taking it well. I just know that if I was in his shoes, I'd have raised hell once I got to the show.

He lost over 150 pounds and was in that D'lo Territory of weight lost (those that don't remember, D'Lo once weighed a hefty 400 and cut that down to his 270)...but since Vince told him to do some Ironmans...He had to pick it back up and it only showed that vince was keeping Henry occupied making that money...
