SKFabe: Hottest WWE News of the week (2nd September, 2017)

#3 Mark Henry retires from wrestling

The World's Strongest Man is done, after a HOF worthy career

Mark Henry's big retirement announcement happened rather unceremoniously and in unspectacular fashion. He was a guest on the Sam Roberts podcast where he revealed that he is done with in-ring competition, but not with WWE.

He will still continue with the company in a backstage role. We're certain he's headed for the WWE Hall of Fame, very, very soon indeed. It's a pretty sad way to go out, without any fanfare.

In 21 years, Henry has achieved much between the ropes. He is a former WWE, ECW and European Champion. We wish him all the best for the next phase of his career, and hope he finds much contentment in his brand new role.
