10 Best WWE Storylines Of The Last 5 Years
3. Mark Henry’s Hall Of Pain
It’s safe to say that prior to 2011, Mark Henry’s WWE career story had been that of an underachiever. Coming in on a wave of hype as legitimately one of the strongest men that ever lived, Henry spent 15 years in WWE accomplishing nothing more memorable than a brief stint as a sex addict comedy relief act.
But that year, Henry would flip the proverbial switch. After a heel turn on the night he was drafted to Smackdown, Mark Henry began to eliminate some of the biggest men in WWE and in the process induct them into his “Hall of Pain.” The level of violence and intensity that Henry began to display in his matches and promos was unlike any heel WWE fans had seen in years and by the time that the former Sexual Chocolate captured the World Heavyweight Championship, there was nobody laughing at the man any longer.
Henry had always possessed inhuman strength and an imposing nature, but he’d never really been able to get it across before in the ring. However, this 2011 run more than made up for lost time as “Hall of Pain” Mark Henry remains one of the most dominant and memorable heels in WWE history.
