Jericho said on his DVD that since he prefers to play a heel much more than a face, he doesn't want a huge respectful send off where the fans are sentimental about it, he wants to be keep with his heel persona by being dragged away (like on Raw in 2005) with the fans thinking that they're glad they never have to see him again. A similar thing with Henry could happen... Not the drag away part, of course, but someone finally putting him down and saying they've shut down the Hall Of Pain for good. Of course, I can also imagine a scenario where Henry feels disrespected towards by a big heel and decides to squash him, maybe turning face one last time like Andre did at Wrestlemania 6.
I think Henry is better off going after the WWE Title rather than the WHC because as mentioned, we all know the WWE Title is the true king as far as world titles go.
