10 Most Underrated Super Heavyweights In WWE History
3. Mark Henry
When Mark Henry signed with WWE, he was immediately clad in red, white, and blue representing his Olympic background for the U.S. Needess to say, this gimmick died a quick death and it would take years before Henry found a character that was a true main event success.
Sure, Henry had the Nation Of Domination and Sexual Chocolate which faired better than others, but considering his size and potential, along with the massive hype he received upon his 1996 signing, Mark Henry was not a great success for WWE.
That is until the mid-2000s when he adopted a heel persona, grew out his hair, and looked the part of a legit, bad ass WWE villain. Although the character was there, it would take a few years before Henry would win the world title, but in 2011 he finally did.
Henry's World Championship run is still remembered fondly by the fans as Mark did an incredible job as a believable, monster heel champion. Unfortunately, this came later into the big man's career and wouldn't last long as the company decided to move away from the massive champ by mid-2012.
