Why the fuck has Mark Henry never been WWE champion?
He's the world's strongest man. There is no gimmick more deserving of being the champion in a wrestling company, than the world's strongest man. No gimmick more believable as the champion of a wrestling company, than the world's strongest man.
He peaked too late unfortunately. That's the truth of the matter regarding Henry, whether the race card has anything to do with it. I don't think with Henry it matters too much because he only really started coming into his own in 2011. The other times they pushed him it failed either because of injury problems or it wasn't getting over.
Booker T: Now there is a guy who should have been a WWE Champion at some point in his career and didn't. That has a legitimate case for racism being a real reason.
I'd say back 5-10 years ago there was too much star power for him to be WWE champion. Can't say the same for today's product, especially when Rock leaves after WM. Mark deserves at least one run with it before he retires.
fpalm @ the comments in here about what a black person is supposed to look like or sound like.
As for Henry, he truly was a late bloomer and has only gotten better with age. I think it is fine that he hasn't been WWE Champion at this point in his career. He did a great job with his run as World Heavyweight Champion and his 2011 heel run up today for the most part. However, I wouldn't mind if he was to get another run with the World Title or even the WWE Title this year. Henry's one of the best heels in business imo.
having the worlds strongest man as your wrestling champion sounds like a match made in heaven but it means having to have Mark get one-ups on the more popular charasmatic main eventers and Vince is pretty hesitant to go the whole haul every time Mark henry gets a push
A combination of injuries, bad booking and that Henry doesn't politic as hard as other wrestlers. Easily deserves it tbh. Carried ECW on his back and his smackdown run was top-notch.
It's strange considering how easy it would be to market a guy like Henry.
I am actually a big mark henry fan if you look at my previous posts, but i have to agree up until recently he never looked like a guy that should be wwe champion, not saying he dont like he should get it now. Also in the past he has had to compete with some of the GOAT, however i look at the current roster and it aint the best ever, so it be nice to get a small run as wwe champion now. Since he been in this lets beat the crap out of everyone mode he has looked awesome, easily my fav in wwe at the moment.
Besides that, he fucking sucks. So why people are using the racial scapegoat is beyond me.
Its like with Wade Barrett. People use the "hes English" excuse when in reality, the guy just sucks and isn't good enough to be a WWE World Champion.Open your eyes people, the only good Black people in WWE were The Rock and MVP. And the only good Engish wrestler in WWE history was The British Bulldog.
Guys like Regal could have had a JBL type WWE title reign. But it was obvious he was never gonna be a World Champion.
Man, strength doesn't mean everything. Lt. Surge had a strong ass Raichu. Ash was intimidated, but knew his Pikachu could beat it. Used that agility and won that fuckin ThunderBadge. You know?
