10 Wrestlers Whose Theme Music Was More Over Than They Were
4. Mark Henry
Beginning his career in 1996 as a grappling Olympian to little fanfare, Henry became a black supremacist when he converted to the Nation in 1998.
Rechristened as 'Sexual Chocolate' a year later, Henry impregnated Mae Young and fathered a hand, before being consigned to OVW in 2000.
After years of stop and start gimmicks, Mark Henry V6 returned in late 2005. This time however, he came with a new (17th) theme. Enlisting southern hip-hop legends Three Six Mafia to record Somebody's Gonna Get It for him, Henry experienced an immediate change in fortunes.
With the best hip-hop theme since Natural Born Killaz, Henry's theme immediately caused a reappraisal of his gimmick, as he began a path of destruction towards the World Heavyweight Championship and a match with The Undertaker at WrestleMania 22.
Re-positioned as a credible threat to any and all babyfaces, Henry defeated Kane and Big Show on his first night as an ECW superstar in 2008 to become ECW Champion.
Opening the Hall of Pain in 2011, Henry's theme set an increasingly menacing scene as he went on to capture the World Championship from Randy Orton at Night of Champions, 15 years after debuting with the company.
