8. Down Goes Henry
If hes legit injured, this is not meant to mock or criticize Mark Henry. However, watching the Worlds Strongest Man crumple to the mat Monday night was sad on a couple levels. Henry and Big E were having a decent power match, with each man throwing the other around the ring. Big E looked to be about to put an impressive finish on the bout, when instead of hitting a Big Ending, he simply deposited Henry on his feet, and Mark fell to the ground. E then pinned him for the win. Henry has been around for 20 years now. His career arc has been a very interesting one, going from Olympian to Nation of Domination to Sexual Chocolate all the way to world champion. But Monday, he crumpled to the mat and was beaten without an offensive move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HjlX3IMorc Obviously, all would hope that he is OK, but if Henry is hurt, then maybe its a sign to wind down his impressive career. Daniel Bryan just walked away to preserve his health, and maybe Henry should consider the same.
