Oh, I wasn't expecting to see this here.

Read about this earlier this evening while perusing my usual sites and it honestly caught me by surprise, especially after having spent a considerable amount of time watching the recently passed Michael Clarke Duncan in the Slammin' Salmon (whom, much to my surprise, was apparently friends with Mark Henry), and now this.

You'll be missed, William/Percy/Paul. Wonder what they'll do this Monday at RAW.
