10 Best Kept Secrets In Wrestling History
3. Mark Henry Was Far From Finished
'The World's Strongest Man' was involved in a very different kind of secret back in 2013.
After being a part of the WWE system since 1996, lifting World Championship gold, and enjoying a terrific Hall of Pain run, most fans were quick to believe the once-unstoppable force was done when he began teasing retirement on Twitter in June of that year.
And right up to the moment the emotional powerhouse had his arm raised by John Cena after telling those watching on that he was retiring from the active roster, there wasn't a person out there who didn't fully believe they were watching the end of the loveable big man's in-ring career.
Then, in a move that left millions of jaws banging off the floor, Henry only went and revealed the entire thing was one big swerve, nailing Cena with a World's Pinkest Slam in the middle of the ring.
Henry would admit later down the road that he was actually considering retiring around this time. But after Vince McMahon talked him out of it, the committed star then spent months tricking folks into believing the end was near.
And after successfully keeping the real plan to have him actually attack Cena and set up a match for Money in the Bank over the WWE Championship a secret through his brilliant retirement teases and moving speech, Henry masterfully completed one of the greatest shock turns of all time.
