On Sunday, at Night of Champions (one week after Hayes was reinstated) the twelve-year WWE veteran and former Olympian finally got his big moment by winning the company's ECW world title.</p> <p>WWE officials did not return TMZ's phone call on the issue. What's our take on it?</p> <p>We almost hope this is true. The alternative would be that writers think Henry's in-ring work is actually deserving of a title - and that's even scarier!</p> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:09:33 EST http://www.thewrestlingpost.com/2008/07/a-racy-issue-mark-henry-as-ecw-champion.html http://www.thewrestlingpost.com/2008/07/a-racy-issue-mark-henry-as-ecw-champion.html#comments WWE Rumors Mark Henry matt@iscribelimited.com (Rock Bottoms)
