Ken Shamrock vs Mark Henry - RAW 6/22/98

 

It is official Mark Henry was legitimately as soon as 1998. Best TV match of this run save for Funk/Foley. Henry's offense was intense crisp and energetic. Great power offense. Great work in out of the bear hug. Henry's weeble wobble selling to set up the Rana to take him off his feet for a nice pop. Shammy was pretty good in this. Vader body attack on outside. Shammy hits belly 2 belly to win. Henry feels like the heir to Blackwell in this. ***

I liked that this match pretty much came full circle (Henry turned heel and joined the Nation by turning on Shamrock during an episode of RAW in January) and Shamrock was able to exact revenge and advance in the King of the Ring tournament. Indeed, the best match of Mark Henry so far in WWF. Shamrock definitely at his peak at that time.
