3. Mark Henry

Mark Henry has been talking more and more about retirement over the past 12 months or so. At 44 years of age, the big man may be feeling all the bumps and strain on his massive frame more than ever. His elimination from the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32 may well be his last appearance on the event.

Assuming Henry does retire at some point before 'Mania 33, he'd simply be a must for the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2017. 'The World's Strongest Man' hasn't always been the most popular star since making his debut in 1996, but there was some emotion when he faked retirement in 2013. 

This time, retirement would be very much real, and the soft-spoken monster of a a man would have a lot to talk about from his lengthy career. Installing The Big Show as the man to induct Henry would make sense, because both are friends who know what it's like to be huge men travelling the world.
