If you're in a bar in Ireland and the "World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry, one would believe that the only man the veteran power-lifting brawler would pour a drink on rather than engage in a fight would be Sheamus. However, while on tour in the Emerald Isle in 2010, Henry received an "adult citation" for pouring a drink on one Mr. James McClay, a bar patron attempting to get Henry's autograph that Henry drunkenly challenged to a fight. Instead of likely risking McHugh bodily harm by giving him a "World's Strongest Slam" and inducting him into the "Hall of Pain," the drink allegedly thrown on McHugh's back seems like it's a far better fate after the former ECW and World's Heavyweight Champion egged on the autograph seeker. In falling short of an "rassler barfight showdown," an old school wrestling promoter like Mid-South Wrestling's Bill Watts (known for priding himself on having a territory full of wrestlers not afraid to pick - and win - fights in bars) might be embarrassed for Henry's fate.
