WWE Royal Rumble 1999: Where Are They Now?

26. Mark Henry

Royal Rumble 1999: The less said about the Mark Henry/Chyna angle - which somehow spilled over into this match - the better, but Henry did at least get tasked with putting the first ever woman's entrant in the match over here. Throwing his weight around late in the match for nearly 8 minutes, he was promptly tossed over the top rope by Chyna as soon as she hit the ring.

Where Are They Now: Retired. For real this time. Henry was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018 and now works in a backstage production role for the company.

25. X-Pac

Royal Rumble 1999: Double duty for X-Pac that evening as he defended his European Championship against Gangrel, then hit the ring for the closing stages of the Rumble. Not to exert himself too much though, as he was allotted a lean 5 minutes to assist HHH before being deposited on the floor by The Big Boss Man.

Where Are They Now: Still not in the WWE Hall of Fame, somehow. Despite being one of the most important workers in the company's history (yes he was), his post-retirement problems have only recently seen his relations with WWE thaw sufficiently to make it back for TV. Part of that Cliq/Bullet Club segment on RAW 25 as well as the Sting match at WrestleMania. He also hosts a wrestling podcast.
