Mark Henry
Mark Henry is an American powerlifter, Olympic weightlifter and professional wrestler. Labelled as the World’s Strongest Teenager and later as the World’s Strongest Man, Henry is a two time Olympian and a gold, silver and bronze medallist at Pan American Games. His intimidating size and power earned him a spot in American Powerlifting circle early in life from where he never looked back. Henry went on to become WDFPF record holder in squat, deadlift, raw deadlift and total. He is credited for the biggest raw squat and raw powerlifting total ever performed by a drug tested athlete. After breaking records in powerlifting, Henry made an easy switch to weightlifting; he was a two-time Olympic Festival Champion and three-time US National Weightlifting Champion. In 1996, he joined WWE. As a wrestler, he won the World Heavyweight Champion title, WWF European Championship and ECW Championship. Though injuries have played a spoilsport for Mark Henry, his established persona of a ruthless and powerful man terrifies his opponents till date.

During an appearance on Renee Young’s Oral Sessions podcast, Mark Henry talked about the AEW brand:. “We have to work on the social media aspect of what’s going out and what’s being portrayed that you want to be an example of what people see.
