10 Times Wrestlers Brought Old Gimmicks Back (For One Night Only)
6. "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry (Old School Raw 2010)
Mark Henry's WWE career was tumultuous to say the least. He was plagued by poorly timed injuries early on, suffered through severe ribbing in an attempt to force him out of his long-term contract, and wad saddled with groan-worthy storylines, most of which were during his Sexual Chocolate run.
During this time he groped Chyna, became a sex addict, admitted to sleeping with his sister, was involved in a segment with a transvestite, and had a child with Mae Young which turned out to be a hand. Strangely enough, the Sexual Chocolate gimmick was well received by fans but didn't guarantee him long-term success. It wasn't until a run in OVW and years of paying his dues where he finally got the respect and World Championship runs that he deserved.
During his stretch under the nickname "The World's Strongest Man", Raw hosted an Old School edition, classic set and all. And with a retro look, Mark Henry brought back his retro gimmick, entering as Sexual Chocolate to a big pop, but losing his match against Dolph Ziggler.
It wasn't long after this that Henry would begin a new gimmick that led him to the World Heavyweight Championship, as the next year he would open the Hall of Pain.
