Round 1: Quadrant 2 Matchup 5

[The New F'n Show]

Mark Henry

Barry Windham

 

[Deuce]

Went with Mark Henry on this one.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Really got into Henry as a heel champ but it's Windham. The turn on Luger was HUGE.

 

[PHX]

Henry's 06 heel run is pretty underrated and his recent heel run has been great so will go with him.

 

[Canadian Pothead]

Mark Henry gets my vote, especially since his heel turn recently. He has always fit the dominant heel role

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I'm trying to find a reason to vote for Windham here but he just ran into a huge roadblock. If Windham had a better NWA Championship reign but I don't think he was even a heel then in 1993. So, I gotta go with Henry here.

 

[Troy]

Mark Henry for me. His has had two awesome runs as a heel champion first as ECW champion and then recently as World champion.

 

[Keith]

Windham all day! It does make me laugh how people suddenly see Henry as this great talent, just because WWE finally figured that the most effective way to book him is as a moody wracking machine. He has never been able to cut a promo or work a crowd like Windham.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

You see this was the kind of reasoning that would have shifted the thread earlier. Still think Henry somehow should get this but he certainly isn't the worker Windham was.

 

[Crippler]

Windham's run with the four horsemen in 1988/1989 was better then what henry's done his entire career.

 

[Keith]

^
Thank-you sir! And his heel tandom with Pillman was pretty impressive too.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Windham and Pillman did not last long enough. Great team but hardly anyone even remembers them.

 

[Keith]

Whats your point? Like countless others have said, it is about how good you think someone is as heel, not how many people remember them as such. Are you telling me people are going to remember Henry ten years after his retirement? I doubt it.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

The fact that he has lasted for 15 years in WWE itself is something that the company will pride itself on when they force old clips on us for the next 20 some odd years.

 

[Keith]

The reason he has lasted 15 years, is because of the fact he was once the world's strongest man, and because of Vince's biased towards big men. Even though they have been15 unsuccessful years, because of the lack of star power and WWE's decline in recent years, Macmahon likes to keep people like Henry in reserve for when he runs out of ideas again!
