Zoom I missed Vengeance last night but after hearing some reports, I am looking forward to watching it. Here’s what Cageside Seats had to say: The highlight of the entire night was the world heavyweight championship match. And while Mark Henry has been getting a ton of recognition for everything he’s accomplished over the past couple months, I think it’s possible we haven’t actually been giving him enough credit. Think of what he’s managed to pull off: after 15 years in the business and a million failed pushes and bad gimmicks, he becomes a monster heel and starts destroying people. That’s to the writers credit. And although it was previously thought impossible, he takes over the character with a zest not seen before. He oozes charisma and has developed an unmatched repertoire in the main event scene … and that’s saying a lot. Henry didn’t just capture our attention for a week or two — he’s held it since the moment he became champion. Last night was the icing on the cake. Not only was I looking forward to his match against Big Show — which is amazing all unto itself — but the actual in-ring action delivered. “The World’s Strongest Man” isn’t just a solid wrestler; he’s a great storyteller and performer. The ring breaking on the superplex was an awesome finish that was perfectly timed both in terms of the pacing of the match and it being long enough since the last time it happened. Plus, it fit much better with these two big men doing it. A+ all around.  Do you agree? Disagree?

  2. fresh37 answered: Henry I believed was always a solid worker. It was just a matter of finding the right gimmick for him. This is it, and he’s running with it.
