This is Mark Henry's best moment ever. Also, the fake Retirement with John Cena and many more.

Not really, it was just a rehash of the same spot that Lesnar and Show did previously. The fake retirement was brilliant though.

[@watersandblue6001]

​@@danzam40 yeah if only henry would have beat cena clean at mitb 2013, even just him being the champ for even one night would have been a great ending.

Beating Orton clean & the promo after

[@LeeEverett1]

Not at all, him beating Orton clean for the title was his best moment. Orton at the time rarely lost and was the top guy on Snackdown, so for Henry to pin him clean was a huge feat.

Mark is such a nice guy and everyone that met him says so. Ask him 1 questions and you got storys for 5 podcasts ❤

[@nbaldwin45]

People always underestimate what an incredible athlete Show was. Not just his agility but he'd do stuff at 450lbs like Russian leg sweeps which you'd never see guys of that size doing plus his strength was off the charts. There are all these stories of Andre flipping cars but I put my money on Wight being stronger. He just didn't have Andre's attitude and aggression so he got into fewer fights. The reason why Show will never be put on the same pedestal as Andre has nothing to do with his athletic ability, it's that he was booked with endless heel/face turns and was never protected like Andre was.

[@gangstagummybear3432]

Show was powerful as fuq, I hate to see him like he is now though, his legs dont look like they are in good shape, my favorite wrestler

[@jacobnavarro3675]

In WCW, The Giant was billed as 7'4". It was burned into my brain during his program with Kevin Nash, who was billed at 7' even. That feud had one of my favorite "magic tricks," as Mark puts it. There was a "can't touch me" clause in play during the build to their match prohibiting The Giant from putting his hands on Nash. At one point, they were both outside the ring and Paul was livid and had Nash cornered against the ring post. He reared back with his right hand and I thought for sure he was going to deck Nash with a punch (LONG before he started using the WMD). Instead he lunged for the ring post right next to Nash's head and he slowly bent the ring post with his rage. I never see this moment brought up these days. Makes me wonder if I dreamed the whole thing, but I remember it vividly and, to 12-year old me, it was very impressive. lol

[@madtownangler]

I had a friend who was a semi-pro wrestler who was actually just over seven foot tall. He looked down at Nash when he walked down the aisle. So Nash was making up the seven foot tall thing LOL

[@jacobnavarro3675]

@@madtownangler oh for sure. Pretty sure Paul wasn't 7'4" either.

[@KamenRiderRaiden]

HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER THAT!! Nash splashed him with a coffee and Sting practically flew the fuck in to pull Giant back in and then he went and grabbed the ring post! That was on a Nitro!

[@jordanhoward1783]

At the end I was hearing mark talk about big guys who were agile and could move and do things. Rikishi was missed. That man could maneuver a 400lb body.

[@agentorange1156]

I count Kane as a big man more than Taker because Kane was 320 lbs full of muscle at one point

[@Mr_T_Badger]

And Kane was pretty damn athletic when he wanted to be too. One moment I recall was Kane and Show in a tag match against somebody. Kane whips the guy into the ropes and does the split leg jump over the guy. Guy rebounds off the ropes and Kane does it again, then drop kicks the dude.

[@nbaldwin45]

@@Mr_T_Badger Kane did a fricking RANA on Albert. It didn't look pretty but he got there.

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

Love Mark! Big Show is one of my favorites of all time. Loved him in WCW as well. He forgot to mention Big Van Vader, though. I heard a story that Andre was very athletic and did drop kicks, etc. when he was younger big Vince Sr. (I believe) told him to stop doing that because he wanted to appear as a big opposing giant. It makes sense because I heard Kevin Nash explain the philosophy. If you're a huge wrestler and fighter a smaller opponent, the smaller opponent is supposed to do all the athletic moves and you're supposed to just kind of move slow and hit them or throw them. If you start doing all the athletic moves, your smaller opponent really has nothing to do.

[@joshuanagatoshi9081]

Love the random Enter the Dragon reference!

[@drewhaueter4502]

[@bestintheworld568]

You had the best big men, like Undertaker, Kane, Kevin Nash, Rikishi, Umaga etc. Then you had the best BIG men, like Mark Henry, Big Show, Andre, Bam Bam etc. Guys who were upwards of 400lbs and could still do ridiculous things.

[@Mr_T_Badger]

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Vader doing his moonsault. He was over 400 pounds.

[@Godzukidan]

Mark Henery is such a good person. 😎👍

[@gothard5]

I remember Cornette talking about Mark Henry getting hurt while running the ropes down in OVW because the WWE made them use real ropes instead of cables. Cornette said he didn’t want to use the real ropes because he was afraid they would break and someone would get hurt and sure enough that is exactly what happened. Corny knew what he was doing. Johnny Ace did not.

[@OneSideofFries]

First time I watched this match was on the Best PPV Matches of 2011 DVD. It was the final match of the 3 disc set.

Best spot in a match that’s probably top 5 ish in wwe history

[@Andy-ju8bb]

2:40 Damn, I thought Mark was serious there for a moment 😆

[@Lightman0359]

Hearing him talk about how it was done, I wonder if it was solenoids. They are special "explosive" releases used in rigging. They are used to drop things like banners fast. they consist of a compression spring [like a car shock, but only around an inch in diameter] and a pin on an electromagnet. As long as NO power is being sent to the magnet, the spring forces the pin into the locked position, holding whatever it is driven through [like the eyelet on the cables holding the ring together]. When power is sent to the solenoid, the electromagnet engages and retracts the pin. For fans of FNaF, yes, this is a real-life springlock and is used whenever a band changes backdrops in the middle of a show [without bringing the batton or truss in]. Rigging the support wires to solenoids and blowing them right before the spot could do it.

[@binkymagnus]

i love how Mark Henry twitched while he was lying there

[@jdfl90]

Thank you for pronouncing Louisville Kentucky correctly

[@cbreezy1322]

Boy he was possessed by Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon. "You have offended my family and you have offended the Shaolin temple." 😁💙 Bruce took the wheel! 💯

[@IggyStardust1967]

Mark must have never seen Andre in his early years. Back in the 1970s, Andre could do top rope moves like a cruiserweight. The main difference between Andre and Paul Wight is that Paul had the surgery to stop his growth, and Andre didn't. Andre just kept on growing (after a certain point, more "wide" than "tall", which is what helped lead to his early death. Try finding those Andre matches from the 1970s, and you'll see what I mean.

[@joemckim1183]

Even if you set up the ring like that you gotta have it set up normally for the rest of the matches leading up to the match where the ring breaks.

[@Dr.Ian-Plect]

Well, he messed the quote up. But it's from Enter the Dragon; Lee confronts Han before engaging him in a fight "you have offended my family, and you have offended a Shaolin Temple". Henry's point is the same, you have done things against me that require retribution, Show

[@TerryGlass274]

Vader super athletic for a big guy. Watched him growing up doing moonsaults and was like How?? BTW, I'm gonna mention this every time I post a comment on Vader. WWF/E totally dropped the ball with this guy. Go back and watch his first 3 or 4 matches and watch the crowd reaction he got. It was unreal....... If not for HBK (who I loved) Vader could've had a major run with the belt. But yet due to politics, he was wasted.

[@Stitchlii]

Big Boss man was too

[@nbaldwin45]

Boss Man took bumps better than any 350 pounder in wrestling history. He didn't do any moonsaults but he could go up for any move. That probably actually hurt his career in the long run, certainly didn't do his back any good.
