Career Retrospective: 10 Reasons why Mark Henry is Hall of Fame worthy

In Conclusion....

When the time comes, there will be a place for him in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Mark Henry isn't someone who has always been on top and he's certainly lost more than his first share of matches. However, throughout his two decades with the WWE, he's always been relevant. Not many wrestlers can say, or will ever be able to say they collected a WWE paycheck for 20 consecutive years. He's seen them come and he has definitely seen them go, but all the while, he's always found a way to keep his spot with the company. That in itself is an accomplishment all alone.

Just like in 2006, when Mark set his sights higher than ever. During a March, 2006 episode of Smackdown, Henry made a run-in during a title bout between The Undertaker and Kurt Angle, resulting in a DQ, which infuriated The Deadman. One week after attacking the Phenom, Mark found himself challenged to a casket match at Wrestlemania 22, against The Undertaker. Despite a losing effort, it was yet another monumental moment for Mark Henry. The mere fact alone that Henry figured out a way to enter a feud with one of the greatest of all time, at one of his best periods of his career, it was an achievement worthy of praise all alone.

Henry isn't someone who is loved by all. In fact, most who read this will likely not have Mark Henry atop their list of all-time favorites. As for me, I can recall three instances in which I met him in person and each of those times, he was extremely polite to me and the other fans around. Nevertheless, Mark Henry is absolutely a Superstar who deserves your respect, at the very least.

Mark Henry has always been up for whatever challenge that came his way. Whether it were main event feuds or need for someone to play mop-up duty and job out for an up-and-coming talent, he's always stepped up to the plate.

It's obvious that Mark Henry is in his final chapter of what has been a storied career. With that in mind, I, personally look forward to seeing what he is capable of doing as an NXT coach, should he take that route as expected. I believe Mark has a wealth of knowledge to pass on to future generations. Regardless of his future intentions, Mark Henry has always been one of those who does things the right way and leads by example.

For generations to come, fans and future superstars alike will be grateful for the tremendous effort put forth, as well as the contributions made by the future Hall of Famer, The Worlds Strongest Man....Mark Henry.
