Mark Henry tore his Quad

I'll bet ya the hand Mae gave birth to coming back for revenge after Henry abandoned it

I'd be willing to bet good coin that Vince is on steroids or something, because with the insane schedule he keeps, you can't be 54 or so and have the body he does without some kind of chemical aid.

 

Warlord, Hogan and Warrior didn't tear anything because their style saw the other guy do most of the work; they usually stood there and let the other guy bounce off of them. And when they did move, it was almost never running; even Warrior only ever ran hard when he was coming to the ring, which itself, if you noticed, seemed to involve him almost speed marching really, which doesn't put so much pressure on the part of the quad that can tear.

 

DBS probably didn't tear anything because most of his mass was on his upper body, with his legs not being too bulked up. If his legs had been as oversized as his torso, then he'd have torn something for sure.

 

Benoit isn't juiced to anywhere the degree the others are. Because he isn't a 6ft6 300lbs lumbering lummox, he doesn't have to put on a great deal of mass, so the risk of muscle tears isn't that big.

I think Vince is like 58 or 59. I doubt he's on roids right now. I think he probably on juices up for big matches, like the ones against Hogan, Flair, and Austin. You'd have to be retarded to be his age and constantly cycling, especially if you wear a sports coat most of the time.

HHH tore his quad planting his foot while hitting Jericho, Nash by stepping over someone, Vince by banging it into the ring apron while sliding in. This could have happened to Hogan, Warrior, etc... as they've all done that thype of thing. I just wonder why quad tears are all the rage now a a days. I suppose it's better than neck surgery, though.

Davey Boy had huge legs, he wore long tights most of his career so it wasn't as apparent.

Just because he's not a "lumbering lummox", doesn't mean he isn't roided to the gills. The guy is probably 5'8" and 165 pounds without the juice. Watch his DVD and look at the pictures of him when he first broke into the business. Now, he's like 38 years olds, 5'8" and 235lbs. He's just as juiced up as HHH was, when he got hurt. Just because he's a great worker and a smark favorite doesn't mean he's not using copius amounts of steroids.

 

There is definatatel a double standard on the roid issue with smarks, as HHH is a roid head while Eddy, Benoit, Rey, Angle, and others get ignored.

Vince bascially signed Henry thinking he could get dum dum dum mainstream attention. Henry was in the oylmpics and Vince was hoping hed get a gold or at least medal in the weight lifting . Henry "surprise surprise" hurt himself during the olympics and didnt medal.

 

 

as for henrys time with wwf/e Here we go.

 

 

First appearance in the crowd at summerslam, Jerry Lawler makes fun of him, he comes into ring to help jake roberts after his match with jerry.

 

Match is set up for mind games ppv, Lalwer vs Henry, Henry wins . Then Henry is supposed to be on Marc Meros Survivor Series Team, but, big shock he gets hurt and it out for over a year. He returns to wwf tv late 1997. After a few squashes on shotgun sat nite and the like, Henry gets on RAW as Ken Shamrocks Tag partner vs the nation, even wearing a rock sucks shirt. but henry turns on shammy and joins the nation. Henry stays with the nation till its end. Keeps teaming with dlo, but then gets the sexual chocolate gimmick by going after chyna. She goes on a date with him broadcasted on raw, but Chyna sets him up with a transvestite named sammy. The classic "youve got a penis" line is uttered and henry is embarrased again. he keeps with dlo until getting hurt early 99 (owen hart and JJ kayfabe injure his knees by hitting him with a guitar during the valentines day massacre ppv-the same ppv where ivory became henrys new GF) henry returns in late april. Teams with dlo for awhile,dlo tries to get him to lose weight then turns heel on him at summerslam 99, helping JJ win the euro-continental title (so Angles was technically the third such champ, but as he noted, DLO -and I asumme Jarrett-doesn't count). JJ gives Mark the euro title and he promptly loses it to dlo at unforgiven sept 99. Henrys new gimmick is sex addict. He continues this until around jan 2000 when he becomes Mae youngs BF. She is "pregnant". Henrys last ppv match is against viscera at NWO 2000 and later Mae gives birth to a hand soon thereafter. Henry dissapears right after this, sent back to OVW.

 

Henry is not seen again until early 2002 when he returns on RAW. Henry is drafted to Smackdown and is back to the world strongest man gimmick after he won a competetion sponsored by the governator himself Ah-nold. he starts doing feats of strength, allowing farrooq to wins bets. he teams with ron a bit too. henry is hurt soon after getting squashed by BROCK on a SD in the summer. He returns in mid-late 03 as Theodore Longs new guy, he teams with rodney mack for a time, then rodney gets hurt and he stays singles. Mark actually winds up on the winning team at Surv Series (he was on bischoffs team, but got eliminated) henry feuds with Booker T for awhile and jobs to him at Armageddon 03. He also tangled with goldberg (trying to collect hhhs bounty)and HBK around this time on RAW. Henry faces chris benoit shortly after chris arrives on RAW and injures his shoulder during the match, which he loses by submission to the crossface.

 

Henry has not been seen since, save for an appearance on the wwe experience and a few sd your vote campaigns.

 

 

so there you go, henry was actually on tv for the better part of 3 years (all of 98, most of 99 save a month or two, and a good 6/7 months in 02/03/04)

 

and the fact that I was able to summarize his carreer in 2 paragraphs would tell you he hasn't done much to earn his contract money.

 

and I assure you that despite my toughguy smark facade, my heart is breaking.

 

we'll miss you Mark

 

(actually no, we won't)
