TMZ.com, a entertainment website, is doing a poll where they ask if people feel that the reason Mark Henry won the ECW World Title is due to trying to shut him up due to his past with Micheal Hayes racist comments towards him.
The poll has it winning that it was a move to shut him up even though, other then his European Title reign & I THINK a tag title reign with D'Low, this is the biggest win of Mark's career as well as the best week he's had.
He lost but had a good match vs. WWE champion Triple H on Raw, he beat ECW Champion Kane in a 1 on 1 match cleanly & then at Night of Champions beat Kane & the Big Show to win the ECW title.
I may have not liked the whole "big man 3-way" but for somebody that has been in the WWE for over 12 years to finally get his 1st World title reign I don't care if it was due to the Micheal Hayes factor or not I think he deserves it. He needs to work on his promo's but match wise he's as good as he's ever going to be so at least he gets one big push in ECW before he's done.

I don't think it was because of race... I think it's because they finally realize that Mark Henry is someone who could do something constructive for the ECW brand, as well as the fact that the ECW title needed someone on the ECW brand to hold it. Thus, by doing so, they decided to give it on Henry.
It's more along the lines of "Right place at the right time" dealio.

I don't know how much you read about the behind the scenes stuff but according to some accounts if Mark Henry filed a civil lawsuit he could of got millions out of the WWE for shit Micheal Hayes said to him over months so this site thinks that the WWE's hope is that if they give Mark a solid title run it'll cause him to forget & not want to file the lawsuit.
Again I don't want to think that Vince did this just to shut Mark up, but there is a valid & smart points at why this could of happened to do so other then having the months longed planned Mark vs. Big Show fued on Smackdown that all of a sudden disapeared.
