It’s fitting that Mark Henry is Extreme Championship Wrestling champion. After all, his 12-year career in WWE has been all about extremes. During that span, Henry has been given big pushes and he also has fallen out of favor and been sent down to a developmental territory. Along the way, he’s...

Some thoughts on last night’s TNA Impact: This was the best episode of the program since it expanded to two hours six weeks ago.
