It’s been a little over two months since Mark Henry returned to SmackDown and destroyed Undertaker after the Deadman had just defeated Batista. In that time, every WWE Superstar that’s stood in the World’s Strongest Man’s path has ended up just like Undertaker: incapacitated.

FRESNO, Calif. – Well, that didn’t quite work out like Jamie Noble expected.
Earlier this week, Noble told WWE.com that he planned to get revenge on Hornswoggle for pinning him and “stealing” the Cruiserweight Championship at The Great American Bash.
