I agree with you.
I've said this before, but I think when Henry and Cena meet for the first time, they should have Henry win the title somehow and then put Cena on the shelf. I know this won't happen since they're not gonna take Cena off the show but maybe it could only be for a couple of weeks and then when he gets back, he ends up sidetracked in a feud with someone else while trying to become #1 contender again. Henry dominates for a few months and then Cena gets another shot and finally gets his big comeback victory against Henry to reclaim the title. Or in a separate twist, Ryback is the one who defeats Henry instead to win the belt.
Either way, it'd be great to see Henry win the title and add his name to the long list that includes Bruno and Hogan and Austin and Rock and the others. And being the first black WWF/E Champion (Bad News Brown was supposed to get that honor back in the day, but Vince fucked him) would be an accomplishment for Henry.
