Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've always found Henry to be wooden and crap when actingYou're crazy. You either never saw his convincing and intense aura during his hall of pain run and missed all of 2011, or you're crazy.This is probably why I never bought into Henry as much as most people do (and usually people who's wrestling taste I share actually) - I missed that entire run. The moment when he dropped him and kneeled over him with a face of fury, shouting, "You think it's that easy!", . . it all clicked. That's what made it all the more magical for me personally, I finally saw the brilliant mean fucker for what he is. (Not to mention all his other characteristics. He showed in ten minutes he's got more range than anybody else on the roster). I'm gonna have to track down the HOP run now somehow.I also missed the Hall of Pain run, outside of Wrestlemania, I mostly dropped across the wrestling fan grid from 2009 to the beginning of 2012. I did love Henry's run as ECW champ. I thought he showed real potential there, but I think shortly after that he went to Raw and became a happy smiley face and wore more red outfits, like a big jolly black Santa. I lost hope after that, but I kept reading glowing opinions of him on the UKFF. He had a couple of above average matches with CM Punk, but I thought, "oh, that's Punk carrying the big lug". This episode of Raw was the first time I saw what they see. Henry is indeed the man.Realistically, he can't actually have too long left. He's falling apart physically and is in his 17th year in WWE (mind blowing). But before this segment took place, I couldn't have cared less about Mizark's retirement. His speech drew me in, made me care, and makes me want to see Henry stick around much longer. Is it me or has Christian lost shit loads of weight?Definitely, wow. He was noticeably smaller when he returned to WWE back in '09, but seeing him on Raw, I thought, "Holy shit, I have more muscle definition than a WWE Superstar!" Poor Captain Charisma.

Loki Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As brilliant as that Henry angle was, he was so good that he got a face pop for smashing that smug sanctimonious look off Cena's face. With crowds with a large anti-Cena element, he's going to get cheered if he goes after the one thing he's never won. I guess they'll just roll with that, but it could be interesting.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted June 19, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted June 19, 2013 Aye, that's nothing new for Cena or WWE. Henry has been getting some solid cheers for a while now, which is why they were going to turn him face before he got injured again. Henry is so 'bad' / cool that it's almost impossible for him not to elicit some cheers from a certain section of the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I still hate AJ. She's in the perfect role now, where you're meant to hate her. When she started on NXT and she was pandering to nerds with "I like comics and computer games" it came off really false. But it was actually true and she's just one of those people who goes into performer mode and is completely fake when a camera turns on. Unnatural and overdone as fuck, but it does make her a bigger heel to me. Kaitlyn doing what she does with her arms when she's talking really puts me off though.I'm with you on that. I couldn't bare to watch her in that Steph bit. I think I'd have turned over if Steph wasn't in it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The Bellas are quite bad for it as well, but in a different way. They always seem like they're doing an infomercial or showing off a caravan on Bullseye or something, and it comes off weird in scenes where they're meant to be doing stuff. Zack Ryder's probably the worst though, I don't know what he's playing at when he has to do an acting bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
