5 WWE veterans who helped in putting over talent

#3 Mark Henry

Mark Henry's career has been a roller coaster for the past 20 years. The World’s Strongest Man was not an actual main event performer until late in his career, and was named PWI’s Most Improved Wrestler in 2011.

The reason why Henry was made champion was mostly due to him being repackaged as a monster heel in the company, one who would induct his opponents into the what he called the “Hall of Pain”.

His character change cemented himself as a real threat in the main event scene, which led to him capturing the World Heavyweight Championship. The reason Henry lost his place on the card was because of the injuries he sustained, as his age and size caught up with him.

Since he lost his steam, Henry has regularly been putting over younger talents, most notably during his feud with Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship in 2015, where he lost three consecutive times. He also lost to Kevin Owens on Raw and suffered an attack from Roman Reigns before WrestleMania 31.

Henry was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame earlier this year, and does compete sporadically in WWE
