3 times WWE played with fans' emotions

#2. Mark Henry's "retirement speech"

Mark Henry's fake retirement speech

On an episode of Monday Night Raw in 2013, Mark Henry entered the ring, sporting a pink suit. Rumours were running rampant that he was about to retire from active competition.

The world's strongest man gave one of the most heartbreaking speeches ever in WWE history and asked the WWE champion John Cena to be with him during his final in-ring moment. The fans were an emotional mess as Henry waved them goodbye, talking about how he was going to be able to spend time with his family, and how he would miss wrestling inside the squared circle.

As the sea of fans roared and cheered for a tearful Henry, he grabbed Cena and hit him with the world's strongest slam! The crowd gasped in silence and then proceeded to cheer for Henry, and the moment is regarded as one of the best promos of all time.

But this doesn't deter the fact that WWE left the fans in tears by making a performer fake his retirement.
