Where do you rank Mark Henry's hall of pain run for all time monster heel pushes and work?

"Give me the microphone. You didn't believe, did you? You didn't believe that I would be holding the most coveted prize in professional wrestling, did you? Oh and don't start cheering. Don't start cheering because none of you believed it either. You're all doubters. You're all haters. I'd like to welcome all of you to the Hall of Pain! This is my moment and I'm not sharing it with none of you. You don't deserve this. I'm going to be the most dominant champion of all time. I'm taking on all comers. I ain't running from nobody and I'm never, ever losing this title."

One of the best "late bloomer" runs in wrestling history

Mark one of the most underrated wrestlers ever on the mic, and during this run he got his ring work tolerable enough that he was really able to flourish as a main event character
Low key he was pretty damn good on the mic if you rewatch the sexual chocolate run

it's up there wit Brock's first run (that's what I count as the GOAT monster heel run in the WWF/E)

wasn't watching from mid 08 to 2011 (was off and on during 2011) and missed some of it but went back rewatched this run and I'm glad I did. He hit his stride and was booked like he should have been but one thing I've noticed is that the big guys last much longer if they can switch up and do comedy (Show, Kane, Henry).

That run is why I still haven't given up on him even at his age and position in the company, I believed him from every talking point.


It was beautiful seeing an unapologetic black wrestler be dominant with no comedy or schtick. Just saying I'm gonna kick your ass then proceeding to kick your ass

It's crazy to think this all happened because Vince decided to prank Henry and Mark got so pissed he scared the shyt out of Vince and everyone else backstage.

If I recall his reign came to an end because he got hurt. Vince definitely punishes some people for getting hurt early in their run as champ. I hope Finn Balor doesn't get shyt on when he returns.

Truth be told Henry could have had a longer run as a heel but they fed him to Cena and it killed all his credibility. Henry has always been most effective as a heel, that smiling babyface shyt doesn't work with dudes that big.

Completely destroyed his credibility. He was never the same after that, and slowly descended back into the role he's in today.
