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.

Spiral Mountain - Banjo-Kazooie
Also, happy 20th Anniversary to one of the greatest games of all time: Banjo-Kazooie. Hopefully Rare will fucking get their act together and make a new one someday. Anyway, I think most will agree that song should be played if you need a pick me up. It makes you happy.

Live and Let Die Opening Title Sequence
Happy 45th Anniversary to the James Bond movie Live & Let Die. The first Bond to feature Roger Moore as 007, Jane Seymour in one of her early roles as Bond girl Solitaire, and the underrated Yaphet Kotto as the first black Bond main villain Dr. Kananga. The theme by Paul McCartney & Wings is the first Bond song to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.

With the UFC about to celebrate it's 25th Anniversary, it's obvious they've been around for a long time which means thousands of fighters have fought in it's octagon. However, many fighters never fought there and in some cases, some of those fighters were sometimes a win or successful contract negotiation away from going to the UFC but it didn't happen. Here now is a look at some well known and/or legendary fighters who were on the verge of going to the UFC before it went up in smoke.
