WWE: 10 Most Awesome Moments Of 2013

4. Mark Henry's Fake Retirement

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfMI9j8WwFE In my opinion, this was the best promo of the year and the best mic work Henry has ever done. Henry had the crowd totally wrapped around his little finger, delivering a genuine and emotionally wrenching retirement speech. He brought up his kids, his past accomplishments as well as his failures. The crowd were great as well, the entire audience were chanting his name, genuine tears fell from Henry's eyes and it was touching. John Cena gets in the ring, raises Henry's hand, goes for a hug and BAM, a World's Strongest Slam. This was the picture perfect promo, good acting, sounded real, a hot crowd and a surprise double-cross. The Cena haters were cheering for Henry with chants of "you've still got it!" and the Cena fans met him with a resounding "boooo!", Henry did his job perfectly and Cena sold it well. For me this promo will go down as one of Henry's defining moments long after he's actually retired.
