Video was supposed to be posted yesterday but the program just refused to render it. 3 attempts and it still didn't work. With that said, I wanted to remake this for a while, felt I can do better work this time. You'll be the judge of that but I seemed to enjoy making it. What did you think of the Hall of Pain?

I just love the fact that Mark Henry was a heel who actually won matches clean. It just made him seem properly dominant.

[@D.N.Aisback]

Kinda like Gunther

[@jruwilkerson1356]

Yup a true monster heel. They're the most respected heels but they sometimes struggle to get true heat simply because there's nothing they're doing different than a face except they beating the favorites

[@cnote2458]

@@jruwilkerson1356I think why it worked for Henry was his mic skills. He literally came of as the biggest p**ck going. Which is surprising as he is meant to be the nicest guy in the world in real life 😂. But he knew alexactly what to say and delivered every line to perfection to get heat. The hall of pain is one of my favourite WWE angles. As a whole from start to finish. I rate it 9 out of 10. I thought Henry was great through the whole thing. And the writing was spot on for the majority of it. I just thought the ending was a bit flat and predictable.
