Mark Henry face turn?

[PHX]

- WWE officials have been discussing turning World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry babyface again. Sources expect the turn to happen sooner than later.

This is a basic report and all so not putting much stock into it but figured I'd post it anyways. Don't get the motive behind this considering how well they have built him as a top heel.

 

[Crippler]

it would be terrible and stupid at the same time.

 

[Dale]

Whoever even thought of this idea in their own mind needs to be fucking fired from the company, let alone sharing the idea out aloud.

 

[SAL]

Are they really still responding to who gets cheered and booed? Mark Henry gets cheered SOLELY because he has the edge they'll never let him have as a face. They need to stop worrying about the heels getting cheered and just tell the stories they want to tell.

 

[PHX]

He doesn't even get enough cheers for them to even say ooh we need to change his alignment. Guy can and does get heat not to mention such a well built heel they can use that to put over a face big time.

 

[The New F'n Show]

This would be a horrific idea. Henry has mattered for the first time in years.

 

[The Cork]

It took them 15yrs to get him over as a heel....... seems like a horrific idea to me.

 

[Keith]

It is too soon, maybe after he dropped the title in the new year I could see it.

 

[Defiant]

Its dumb, but I can see it happening since Henry is said to be retiring within the next couple of years.

 

[Aniking]

Holy shit, what a bad idea. I hope they don't go through with this because it's fucking silly.

 

[Blujay]

If this is being seriously considered then I've lost all hope for the likes of Rhodes being pushed, the Barrett Barrage going anywhere, Ryder winning a midcard title, and any other booking decisions in the future. Henry's heel turn has been the one thing they've done near perfectly in a long time. And the way things look, its going to be Daniel Bryan defeating him at Wrestlemania for the title which is an amazing feelgood story if they go through with that booking. Turning Henry face ruins everything they've spent the last several months of build on.

Because he draws better as a heel than Orton or Christian could hope as a face, so they want to make some money off Hall of Pain gear and fanfare ... Monetary Reasons

You can have heels who haven't proven to draw in Wade and Cody going against Randy when he doesn't draw as a face or that much at all really, as your main story. they don't want to go back to low attendance and low ratings like the months before Henry grabbed the strap

Guessing you meant as a face and SD's ratings bumping up some cause Henry is champion doesn't = draw. They turn him face and the fans wouldn't care for the guy because they'd take everything away from him that would make the fans cheer him and he'd just be the smiling big black dude he was in his last face run.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Creative meeting:

Guy 1: WOW Mark Henry is really doing well as a heel
Guy 2: But The Kool Aid Man Sells.
Guy 1: That's True, lets make him a face again.

He had th fans when he first came to Raw, then got hurt and never regained it or his push. If they're set on sticking to pushing him he can still be the badass face as he has great momentum. Plus he can't flounder on smack down like raw because of the lack of talent sand name value
