When Mark Henry embarked on his memorable 'Hall Of Pain' run and bagged the World Heavyweight Title, yours truly shed a metaphorical tear. He'd watched poor Mark struggle through some of the worst ideas ever, including a run as Mae Young's boyfriend and one admission that he'd slept with his own sister.

Wait, what's that?

It's true. Between 1998-1999, the WWF showed Henry fessing up to the fact that he was addicted to sex. Things were so bad that he'd even had coitus with his own flesh and blood the "day before yesterday". Then, Mark went on to reveal he had a thing for the ancient Mae and somehow impregnated her with a human hand.

Going from all that to his bully-boy dominance as World Champ was night and day. Henry finally found his place on the roster as a physically imposing, intense bad ass who loved to throw his weight around and intimidate others. He didn't just survive - he thrived.
