To his credit, Sean Waltman has since publicly revealed his regret over donning blackface as part of the DX Nation parody in 1998. Aside from the regrettable racial undertones, the group's impressions of The Rock and Owen Hart (in particular) were hilarious. "I look like a damn road sign", said Jason Sensation.

Looking back on the skit, all attention turns to Waltman's portrayal of Mark Henry.

It isn't only the face paint that will have you palming your forehead, it's the goofy deep voice, the hints dropped that Henry had once literally, and accidentally, eaten faeces backstage and the word 'Mizark' emblazoned across Sean's chest. That, more than anything else, was designed to ridicule Henry's standing in the company.

Deciphered from carny, the word means 'Mark'. Obviously, that's Henry's forename, but it also refers to his relative inexperience and status as an up-and-comer. Funny insider references or not, there was no need for the DX boys to rag on Henry for being a newbie.
