#2 Mark Henry
The World's Strongest Man should have a distinct advantage over everyone else in the competition due to his sheer strength and size, but Mark Henry doesn't seem to perform all that admirably in the Royal Rumble matches, all things considered.
Not once has Henry even been in the final four, let alone fighting it out as one of the last two in the ring. After ten appearances and a career that has lasted 20 years, one would think he'd have a better track record.

Instead, Henry seems to be a sacrificial lamb of sorts, playing out the role of an obstacle that appears to be in the way more than it really is. Rather than always being eliminated by a group of men or at least another behemoth like Brock Lesnar or The Undertaker, he's even been dumped out by folks like R-Truth.
This is very similar to the way WWE used to book Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V, where his entrance and the idea of him being an imposing bringer of destruction was more of an empty threat than an actual promise of victory.
His appearance in this year's Royal Rumble match was better than Big Show's, as he got one elimination to his name, but he still didn't last an incredibly long amount of time, placing with the fourth shortest length just above James Ellsworth, Enzo Amore and Big Show.
While he definitely doesn't appear to be on a career trajectory uprising to make us think he'll ever get a decent shot at winning, Henry is nevertheless a legend and a future Hall of Famer.
