Posted November 27, 20177 yr comment_5822255 One of my firm beliefs is that it is never too late. One of the best examples of this is the pro wrestling career of Mark Henry. For 15 years he was treated like a joke and loser, but in 2011 when he was finally given an opportunity to be a superstar, he went on a tear that will go down as one of the all time great monster heel runs. Showing us that Mark Henry always had what it took to be a World Champion he just needed the opportunity and once he got it he made his dream into a reality. Work hard, prepare and be vigilant and when that opportunity comes be just like big ol 412 lb Mark Henry take it and never let it go. It is never too late to be great. http://ridingspacemountain.blogspot.com/2017/11/its-never-too-late-mark-henrys-hall-of.html?m=1 Full match reviews click the link at the top of this blog post.
November 27, 20177 yr comment_5822278 Where do you think you'll have him ranked vs. Big Show? Just out of curiosity... Good read... I also loved the Hall of Pain run... I'm going to go back and revisit some of this before turning in my ballot for sure...
November 27, 20177 yr Author comment_5822283 As of now ahead, depends how good Big Show/Sheamus is though. I need to watch that. So much wrestling, so little time. Mark Henry has better presence, better at playing up the monster role and is better at working on top than Big Show even though Show is more mobile. I feel like Show is missing that signature run too. Show definitely makes the list but in the 50s as opposed to Henry in my 40s.
November 27, 20177 yr comment_5822285 Yeah, I have Henry at 54 and Big Show at 55 right now. But, I have a feeling going back and rewatching some of this stuff is going to bump Henry up some more...I'm going to wait until the final day before I turn my ballot in...
November 27, 20177 yr comment_5822290 I regret not having Henry higher in my GWE list from last year but then I would have had to put Michaels higher too to make the joke work.
November 27, 20177 yr Author comment_5822316 I have a similar combo Matt that would have made heads explode in 2006 may be not as much now. And like you I honestly believe in it. JkWebb, I know right, Brutha. I don't know how people have submitted ballots already. So much stuff!
November 28, 20177 yr comment_5822334 Sleeze, really dug your reviews of the HOP over the years. I'm in 2009 on my PPV rewatch on the Network so it'll take me approximately 17 years at my current pace to get there, but looking forward to it!
