Mark Henry becomes WWE champ after racial slurs



When does being hit with racial slurs improve your career? For WWE wrestler Mark Henry, it may have happened last night on PPV. In April, the WWE suspended writer Michael Hayes for 60 days for telling Henry, "I'm more n***** than you are." Last night -- and one week after Hayes was reinstated -- the twelve-year WWE vet and former Olympian finally got his big moment by winning the company's ECW world title. That's where the controversy starts. There's buzz around wrestling blogs that the 400 lb. wrestler that calls himself "The World's Strongest Man" would never have been in line for a title if the racial controversy didn't exist. The company has only had three other African-American world champions in its entire history. Anyone 'memba The Rock? -- TMZ

I dont think thats true, its because they wanted the title to stay on ecw,. with an ecw star.

Henry wasn't on ECW until recently, and the Show had won it before as a Smackdown guy. No, I think there may be something to this story.

Re: Mark Henry becomes WWE champ after racial slurs

ECW and Smackdown are pretty much one now... kinda like the old days of WWF when it was raw and smackdown and all the wrestlers showed up at both shows... before McMahon bought ECW and WCW.

As far as the situation of current, Mark Henry has never been a big push for a Title holder.... he ain't much of a wrestler... he's to damn big. They could have went many different angles with keepin the title on the show or in an ECW star's hands.
