Guest Column: Mark Henry’s Push by WWE

Posted on by


Mark Henry’s rise to the main event has had a very good buildup. However, the fans simply don’t seem to care about him. He does not get the reaction a heel that has been pushed as much as him should be getting, and fans don’t love him either. They simply don’t care.

First of all, the fact that WWE is actually pushing Henry into the main event of Smackdown should be a clear indicator that the company is in a  state of transitioning. Vince McMahon no longer has his veteran main event performers to rely on anymore. He must push new talent into the main event, and new stars have to be created in order for the company to survive.

I gotta say this about WRESTLING

Posted on by

A drunken clown once told me “WRESTLING…. In Canada, it’s a Tradition… in Mexico, it’s a Religion…. in Japan, it’s a Sport… in America…. It’s a Joke.”

Now he told me he read that on a message board so if I’m ripping somebody off, I humbly apologize, but this is the most genius statement I’ve ever read! Its level of truth is unlimited..

A friend of mine  purchased a travel package to go to New York for five days to watch WrestleMania XX and take in all the festivities. Now THAT’S a mark! No, I take that back, THAT’S a WWE-mark! I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m glad you enjoy the WWE that much. Vince McMahon’s accountant says you’re not alone. But what I do take offense to is when you call yourself a “Wrestling Fan”……. Uhhhhh, stop the music, no, you are NOT a wrestling fan, you are a WWE fan! A “Wrestling Fan” or “Wrestling Mark” has seen all forms of the sport; Lucha Libre, Puroreso, Independant, and from its purest form back in the early 1900s, until the 1970s, BEFORE it was transformed into “Sports Entertainment”.
