The Rumble elimination is still one of my all time favorite spots.
Say what you will, but everyone remembers these guys. Any time wrestling comes up I hear people say...
'Hey, you remember the Bushwackers?"
That's my experience.

Cena was close to being future endevoured, the Halloween thing happened and Cena got a little bit of screen time playing a literal parody of Vanilla Ice, people thought his rap thing was funny, so the gimmick stuck
Mick Foley in terms of character work is possibly the most versatile wrestler ever.
He's also a stealth MVP of the attitude era

Welp this is Karma for injuring others I suppose :/. Damn missing 2 manias in a row is BS.

Was he really that close to being cut....?
I mean he probably doesn't have full results yet. He's in the middle of getting tested. Dude is expecting the worst though.
The Rock obviously!

Zach is a bad comedy gimmick.
Crow Sting in the rafters is one of those things that will never cease being cool
I'm pretty sure they had a brief feud that ended with CENAWINSLOL

An added benefit to Cena's rapper gimmick is that it gave him the perfect excuse to feud with higher level guys during the Ruthless Aggression Era, a time when 'pay your dues, respect the top guys' was a literal part of the kayfabe identity of the company.
Plus, Cena was built like a brick shithouse, so you couldn't just job him out like most scrawny, shit-talking heels.

Seff took Sting's powers after retiring him.

WWE need to bring Sting back in as Becky's manager
who eventually betrays her.
And people wonder why big e isn't the guy.
This guy is going far.
I remember the first show after the split, when I marked out at how fast he is. It's great that they're working on him, the dude is talented and has so much potential.
I'd be way more excited for Braun if it wasn't clear as day that he's eventual Roman/Cena food.
It's legit one of my favorite swerves ever.

So that's what Joker Sting would have been like in the WWE.
It's like night and day from his run as a Wyatt. Like, he's good enough people will eventually forget about that.
It was one of the best segments of the past 15 years. WWE really should have thrown Mark a longer feud. Was pretty upset how quickly he was tossed aside.
I wasn't watching when the Hall of Pain was happening so I never got to experience a good Mark Henry run.
Not much different from yours
So everything is confirmed then

I don't remember the full details, but he was bombing pretty hard in all aspects before that, and this was during a period where people were actually being regularly fired.

I think one of my fondest memories of the Hall of Pain run was when Zack Ryder was cutting a promo, Henry comes out, Ryder is about to leave and Mark just holds on to his shoulder and you could hear the audience gasp.
That was when I thought "this is money".

I'm not convinced. I think he needs time - he shouldn't be anywhere near a main event feud yet.

Heel R-Truth could have been a contender!
Heel R-Truth was borderline surreal
I gotta admit i marked out one time when he showed up wearing retro Milwaukee Brewers gear

Hall of Pain Henry really should have had an extended title run. At the peak of that run he was such a believable monster
henry vs orton for whc. best squash match ever.
