At this week's Smackdown taping in Des Moines, IA, the advertised main event, which was to be a dark match, was listed as Christian vs. Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship. Once Smackdown was off the air, instead of the advertised match, fans were surprised to see Mark Henry make an entrance to the ring. As to who his opponnent was to be, nobody knew, as nobody ever came out. Mark Henry stood in the ring for nearly 5 minutes before finally trying to pass the time by cutting an impromptu promo in front of fans at Wells Fargo Arena. However, each time he would try to begin talking, the microphones would die out. So instead, he decided to taunt several fans, including Joey Anderson, who wrestles for the independent promotion "Adrenaline Pro Wrestling." After 15 minutes had passed since Smackdown had gone "off-air," Tony Chimel made an announcement stating that while fans waited for Mark Henry's opponnent, WWE wanted to thank the fans for attending. Finally, Mark Henry's music started back up, and fans thought they were finally moments away from a hopefully decent dark match. After a couple of minutes, Mark Henry's music stops, and Hornswoggle's hits. However, we got no Hornswoggle. A couple of minutes later, Hornswoggle's music stops, and Great Khali's old music hits, yet again, no Khali. Finally, Khali's music stops, and Mr. McMahon's music hits. Again, no show from the Chairman. Finally, Mark Henry had gotten tired of waiting for an opponnent, and walked backstage, ending a nearly 20 minute wait for a dark match opponnent. Needless to say, the fans were not happy with the outcome of WWE's promise of a dark match.

The advertised Dark Match was supposed to be Christian vs Orton for the belt, but after Orton laid on the mat for 5 minutes and finally got up, Mark Henry immediately hit the ring.* The referee was Armstrong.* After 5 minutes, Henry started getting harassed by members of the crowd, being called a "fa**ot" repeatedly, a "you can't wrestle" chant broke out, and one very vocal (and VERY DRUNK) guy yelled "Don't make me come in there and beat the black off of you".* Henry started getting visibly pissed, and got a mic.* Well, the mic died before he could say anything.* Then Henry got*a second mic, and before he could finish saying "you better hope this mic works" that mic died.* Finally a third mic was given to Henry and that one, too, was broken.* He continued arguing with the section of the crowd that would have been behind the announcer's desk while Armstrong started laughing hysterically.* After 15 minutes of waiting for Henry's opponent, some one yelled "you should wrestle him!" to the ref, and he started flexing his muscles (jokingly) and trying to relax both Henry and the crowd.* Chimel made an announcement that "while we're waiting for Mark Henry's opponent" he would like to thank the crowd and they'd be back soon blah blah blah.* After 25 minutes Henry started walking around the ring, giving hi fives and talking to some people then posed at the top of the ramp and left.* The crowd was pretty pissed half of them waited a half hour for a match that didn't happen.
