Mark Henry: An Overrated Legacy and Biggest Waste of Money in WWE History

Mark Henry: An Overrated Legacy and Biggest Waste of Money in WWE History
July 1, 2018
By Ryan Porzl

For 22 years, a fixture of WWF/WWE has been "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry. Originally a powerlifter who made it to the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, Henry signed with the WWF in 1996 and shockingly has had a two decade tenure where he seemed like a failed experiment for most of his run before enjoying praise in his twilight years and has since earned a backstage position as well as an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. For some strange reason, it seems like people have giving him more praise in recent years despite the limited success among other things. With his recent induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, it seems like people have continued to paint a rosy picture of his career. This article, I will pull back the curtain and remind people that while Henry is a likable guy who tried, his legacy is overrated and that he's been the biggest waste in WWE history given how little they got out of him despite the long tenure.
