The problem is with you. You're a self professed Mark Henry mark and by your defintion above, John Cena makes a great champion.

Lashley is not the next Lesnar - he's nowhere near as good in the ring and can't speak to save himself. Finley and Benoit are better technical workers but neither can speak and Finley is just boring to watch. Hardy most defintiely has charisma, as evidenced by the fact he's still over despite being jobbed to sh*t, and can speak better than any of the three you mention.

I don't think Hardy is a world champion in the making, but he's certainly not as bad as you make out. Same goes for Cena, since you'll undoubtedly mention him soon.

Henry is 300+ pounds- not saying he's the best wrestler but Vince loves big guys. Lashley has the same sort of character as Lesner and with a manager could be extremely good. His ring skills are pretty good and his charisma is damn good. Finlay I like, he's a technical wrestler and I'd much rather a heel with the US Title!

What does Vince's like of Mark Henry have to do with his ability to interest fans? Vince thought the f**king Gobbeldy Gooker was gold and that Triple H raping a corpse would be a ratings draw. The man doesn't know sh*t about what fans want to see anymore.

 

[Special K]

Its not that Vince likes Henry I'd say it is more of them trying to get value for money after that 10 contract he signed.

I find Henry "amusing". Its not the worst character and he has about the same wrestling ability as John Cena gimmick wise. Henry on the mic is hilarious! I like him on the mic- I have never said that he is great in the ring but he aint any worse than Cena!

You can't be serious. How can I take any other part of your argument seriously when you make stupid claims like that?

Joke mate! Dear oh me I thought you'd get that one! ;-) Henry is not the worst for a big man really. I find him amusing on the mic thats all.

He's got a lot of competition on Smackdown. Undertaker, Great Khali, and then there's Viscera, Kane, and The Big Show over on Raw. I'd probably only rate him ahead of Big Vis and Khali in the WWE, though.

Henry is better than Vis, definately better than Kalhi. Kane and Big Show are on RAW currently. Taker and Batista are better than him but I never said he was the best one.

 

[Misanthrope]

I said they were on Raw...

We are taliking about Smackdown mate! I never said he's the best. I said he is not the worst one around.

 

[PARANoIR]

To be honest, Viscera is probably on par with Mark Henry. Vis can go when he wants to, when he was Mable he was pretty good.

Id almost be tempted to rate Viscera higher than Henry aswell.

Locky, you lose more credibility by the post mate. You contradict yourself in almost every post you make.

Mark Henry can't work the mic, has no charisma, the crowd don't care about him or his feuds and his wrestling ability is almost non existant. You'd rather him over Matt Hardy? Are you kidding me?

Henry's mic work may "amuse" you but that means it's bad. They're supposed to keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you interested, not have you laughing at them. Cena is fantastic on the mic, ultra charismatic and has fan interest (they boo him when he is supposed to be a baby face, that shows they care about him and his feuds), and despite what you like to think, the bloke can wrestle. But correct me if I'm wrong, but you'd have JBL or Mark Henry over him, right?

Where did I say I wanted Henry over Hardy- I said Lashley, Finlay and Benoit for the US Title. I just said that I like the way Henry speaks- it is light humour for me. That is all. As for you last paragraph- I said Cena can speak on the mic in fact I said it was his strongest point and is pretty charasmatic as well. Its debatable on his wrestling ability. But that is fine that is 2 categories out of 3 which is fine with me. Hey I would have no problem with Cena if it was 3 month reigns. JBL is better than Hardy ans like Cena is charasmatic and is great on the mic. In the end these two categories in VINCE'S mind are the most important two.

And what's so tecnically good about Finlay? I keep hearing people say he's an awesome technical wrestler where i watch him and he's just a brawler! He has nothing on the wrestling moves of Benoit!

Look at the King of the Ring match between Benoit and Finlay. Finlay is a great technical wrestler.

 

[Misanthrope]

He's good in the same way Regal is - very proficient, but not particularly exciting to watch.

You guys may like this or may not.......

Johnson reports that there is talk of giving Mark Henry the World Title instead of JBL so that JBL can be moved to Raw. Johnson says that JBL has told people he would like to retire within the next year or so but before he does retire there are some people on Raw like HBK that he wants to work with first.

Why would Mark Henry be second in line when Kurt Angle just beat him senseless and Booker T just won King of the Ring?

Don't ask me CWB. I'm just posting the news when I see it. I have seen it on more than 1 site as well. It makes it weird. But remember that Booker more than likely will get his shot at a later date, perhaps Summerslam. Not sure on Angle but Rey is champ and that would be face vs face. It does not work.

 

[PARANoIR]

It'll be Rey v Booker.

Booker will beat Rey.

Then they'll cash in off his fight with Batista and those two will feud.

f**k Henry.

Johnny Nitro and Melina haven't been suspended, but they are obviously being sent to Raw. Joey Matthews is taking time off.
