Mark Henry was drafted to Smackdown tonight as a face. Then during the mainevent Henry turned heel on his teammates Christian and Cena. So Smackdown who seem to have plently of faces finally got a heel. Henry is going to be needed right up the card, not quite the mainevent but close enough to it. He is a known name and his best work is done as a heel.

An initial feud is hard to decide on but maybe he will get to face Christian first up since he did turn on him and cost him the match. Looking at Smackdown's roster he is probably the top heel on the show with Rhodes next in line.

Who would you like to see Henry feud with first? Is Henry the top heel on Smackdown?

Henry is the top heel as sad as it is, but him and Christian for the world title would be interesting to see. Christian likes working with big man and seems to get the best out of them.

If Christian wins the title I can see him facing Henry at Over The Limit for the title.

ECW days, they both put on great matches. I'd be up for seeing it again

^I agree. Christian vs Henry seems to be what is planned next for the title. Henry was at his best on ECW when he was the monster heel there, he was a surprise ratings draw and put on some good matches. Plus he has recently dropped over 50 pounds so he is in much better shape and is aiming high.

Good on Henry for getting into shape. That is a huge weight loss and he will be much better off for it. Hopefully he continues to drop that excess weight to help his health. I wouldn't be against seeing him as world champion on Smackdown.

Trouble is Henry is not over in the slightest and never has been, maybe with the exception of his sexual chocolate days. I guess it can't hunt moving him, and giving his character the reajustment it needs, but I feel sorry for Christian if he gets lumbered in a feud with this guy.

He wasn't over as a face, his entrance on RAW in the mainevent proved that, but as a heel it is easy to make the fans boo him. He is a big guy and when he starts beating down on an opponent people will boo him. Especially against a guy like Christian who is a big fan favourite the crowd should get into their matches.

He is over... Always had been when he's big old monster heel, which quite an enjoying character; The Alpha Male was it?

Noo, the Silverback Mark Henry, YAHHHH! That's what you call a good character, Mark Henry heel turn and his awesome WWE Interview, I've finally brought into the Mark Henry character!

Trouble is Henry's look, a guy like the Big Show can still get over to a degree when booked as a monster heel, because he can still work that simple style as does look like a monster 80's bigman, Henry on the other hand just looks like a bodybuilder who is way too stiff in a wrestling ring. And history says that when you have been booked so many times unscussfully than it takes a awful lot to make the fans give a damn, and I just don't see it happening for this guy.

Henry-Christian is probably on the Docket. The two had a decent feud on ECW and it would work here. Not all that interested but willing to give it a chance.

The fact that Henry thinks he's a future World Champion is laughable to me. If it hasn't happened for you in how long, what sense would it make to give him the strap now?

Oh by the way, for over a decade this guy wasn't good enough to win a championship, and wasnt even on Raw for months, but here you go, here's the title.

No

Oh I like you lucky, finally so one talks some sense! Another thing to remember is that not even Kurt Angle could get a good match out Henry, that is how useless this guy is.
