I doubt Henry wins it on a taped show but I think he might be added. Then he can win at ER thus letting Jericho and Punk finish off their feud and Henry has a dominant reign and draws ratings for RAW.

Not sure, just a gut feeling.

Not sure what I make of a Henry title reign, as I said I do enjoy his work, but he's limited in the ring. What they SHOULD have done was draft Daniel Bryan and make him win it using his rematch clause. #mark

Lmao I'd mark for that.

I'm a big Henry fan. He may be limited, but he's no Big Show. His mic work is hilarious, he stays in character and he's no coward heel.

Yep that's the main thing for me - he's a monster heel, not a total pussy. Look at a lot of good movies - the bad guy is always seen as powerful and a threat. It makes it better when the good guy gets a win over them. It's a pretty simple formula.

That isn't to say that cowardly heels don't work at all because they can if booked correctly.

Henry is easily one of my 4 or 5 favorite guys in WWE ever since his heel turn last year.

Spoiler-Free Match Card

Dark Match: Dean Ambrose defeated Alex Riley.

CM Punk vs Mark Henry
Santino vs Otunga
Zack Ryder vs Kane
Kofi Kingston vs Daniel Bryan
Brodus Clay vs Dolph Ziggler

Spoilered it just in case people don't want to see the matches, there's no results though. Credits go to Draine for finding it.

It's always good to see a dominating heel when all the others are cowardly, isn't it?

Really liking everything Henry's been doing recently, even his matches. Works well for someone of his size.

That's looking like a good card, surprized they've got Albert in a match with Cena already o.0

Skipping show/khali vs Epico and Primo.

Am I allowed to post thoughts on card without spoilers? lol

Thanks for being so considerate guys. I'd prefer not to see the match card, but that's just me.

This is either a joke or I'm going to kick your ass

Spoiler it in the quote to avoid anyone else seeing it, Jose be very careful what you post to avoid posting some inadvertent spoilers - Seabs.

Keep things spoilered on the match card.

Still mega-pumped just for the crowd. Imagine if Barrett was not injured :(

Edit: Dolph ignore his post. It's not show-related at all.
