50 Ups & 50 Downs For WWE's Decade: The 2010s
35. Mark Henry "Retires"
2013 marked one last bit of heavy lifting for the 'World's Strongest Man', but in doing so he created one of Monday Night Raw's finest ever segments.
Wearing a now-infamous salmon jacket, Mark Henry delivered an impassioned speech talking about his chaotic journey through nearly two decades in WWE, even stopping to speak directly to his children to note that Daddy was finally "coming home".
John Cena had stuck around to pay special tribute to the tearful Henry after such a touching monologue by giving him his WWE Title belt to pose with. Applause and 'Thank You' chants rained down on the scene, at which point 'The World's Strongest Man' dumped Cena onto the canvas with a huge slam.
"You think this got easy?! I got a lot left in the tank!" screamed Henry towards the fallen 'Champ', delighted that his ruse had worked. He'd sealed a WWE Title match with the cruellest of facades.
