Another big man that Mark Henry helped in their transition to WWE was Baron Corbin. The former US Champion has certainly been one of the most divisive superstars in WWE over the last few years, with some people hating him and finding him boring and others appreciating how committed he is to his heel characters, particularly King Corbin and his memorable stint as the Monday Night RAW General Manager.

But Baron Corbin is another WWE Superstar who credits Mark Henry with being a pivotal influence in helping him develop as a wrestler, harkening all the way back to when Corbin started with the company at Florida Championship Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory prior to NXT.

“He came in and thought I had something special,” Corbin said speaking to WWE.com. “He told me I had a good look, the way I moved was good. He really helped mold me in those early days, which helped the evolution of who I am and what I do. When you have a guy of his caliber come to you and tell you they see something in you … if that doesn’t light a fire, nothing will.”

As you can see, Henry's talents in, well, talent development don't just revolve around scouting, but also helping wrestlers once they've been signed, and that's certainly something that he did for Mark Henry here.
