Mark Henry’s rise to fame began in 1992 at the Olympics in Barcelona, where he competed in weightlifting and finished 10th in the super-heavyweight division.

Three years later at the Pan American Games, Henry captured a gold, silver and bronze medal, solidifying his place as one of the strongest men ever to walk the planet. He has also engaged in Strongman competitions, including the 2002 “World’s Strongest Man” competition at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, where Henry earned first prize.

Henry began his WWE career in 1996. He worked on his own, but in 1997 was soon lured into the faction known as the Nation of Domination, which also featured The Rock and Faarooq. The group broke up in late ’98, and Henry went back to singles competition. After holding the WWE European Championship in 1999, Henry took time off in 2001 to train for another Strongman competition. Henry returned to the ring in 2002 and was drafted to the SmackDown! roster. Despite being one of SmackDown’s most promising draft picks, Henry was soon traded to RAW. Lately, he has exhibited a major mean streak, which was fueled by his past manager, Theodore R. Long. Mark Henry has gone toe to toe with top stars like Goldberg, Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels and Booker T. This nearly 400-pound monster is a force to be feared every time he steps into the ring.
