7 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 23)
5. Hesitant Henry
What in the blue hell has gotten into Mark Henry? The Worlds Strongest Man has gone from inducting people into his Hall of Pain and declaring, Thats what I do! to feeling bad for headbutting an opponent during a match. Thats exactly what happened in Henrys bout against Neville, as he delivered a series of headbutts and then helped Neville up, almost asking if he was OK. The Man That Gravity Forgot quickly attacked, prompting Henry to fire back and biel him across the ring. At that point, Henry put his head on the turnbuckle, as if he was disgusted with himself. He then got distracted and took a kick to the temple, allowing Neville to hit the Red Arrow for the pin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIGVvPrnC1w Afterward, Henry shook Nevilles hand and told him he respected him. While theres absolutely nothing wrong with this, why in Gods name was Henry feeling sorry for wrestling his opponent? There was absolutely no reason for it, and it just made him look like a joke instead of a legit tough opponent.
