Mark Henry is a former World Champion in WWE and has enjoyed a lengthy career as a wrestler, that began back in 1996. Henry was always known as 'The World's Strongest Man', a record that he first achieved back in 2002.

Throughout his career, Henry was part of a number of memorable feuds against the likes of The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Batista and even John Cena, where he first faked a retirement in order to gain a shot at the WWE Championship, the one title that had always alluded him.

Henry wasn't used as effectively in his later career which could be why he was able to slip away from the company following WrestleMania 33 back in April 2017 as his retirement still remains relatively unknown to many members of the WWE Universe.

Henry has since begun working behind the scenes as a producer for WWE, something that could allow him to return to the ring in the future when WWE will hopefully consider giving him the send off he deserves.
