About Me:

Breaking records, pumping iron and devastating opponents with his unmatched strength, it's no wonder they call Mark Henry the World’s Strongest Man.

Mark Henry’s rise to fame began in 1992 at the Olympics in Barcelona, where he competed in weightlifting 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 he was soon lured into the faction known as the Nation of Domination, which also featured The Rock. 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 and later briefly appeared on Raw after a big trade.

Mark Henry has gone toe-to-toe with top stars such as Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, Batista, Undertaker, and Big Show. This big man is a force to be feared every time he steps into the ring.

The future looks frightening for anybody that gets in Henry's way. After battling back from many obstacles including periods of down time and uncertainty due to injuries suffered through the years of his career, he is now at the top of his game.

After being drafted to the Land of the Extreme, Henry reached the pinnacle of his career by capturing the ECW Championship. He was also recently named the "Second Strongest Man That Ever Lived" by Flex Magazine. And above all else, he has vowed to destroy anyone who gets in his way.
