Career Retrospective: 10 Reasons why Mark Henry is Hall of Fame worthy

How much time does he have left?
 

In 1996, a young, innocent, baby-faced kid entered the professional wrestling world at the height of the most competitive era in the history of the sport, The Monday Night Wars. Right after he competed at the 1996 Summer Games, Vince McMahon and his World Wrestling Federation signed the 24-year-old prodigy to a ten-year contract, hoping his strength and Olympic background would translate into money in the ring and now, some 20 years later, it appears that signing was indeed a good investment.

Throughout his career, Mark Henry has been up and he's been down, but never out. He's been the type to embrace any situation, regardless of the ridiculousness involved, and he would own it. While some, including this writer, feel that Mark hasn't won nearly enough championships over the course of his career thus far, it's important to note that Mark Henry is the type of superstar who is not defined by the number of title reigns.

I believe that in the future, when fans look back and analyze the history of this great industry, Mark Henry will be remembered and revered for his contributions in the ring, not just by championship belts he attempted to strap around his 54-inch waist.

So, that brings me to the million dollar question, is Mark Henry worthy of one day entering the WWE Hall of Fame? My short answer to that question, is YES! But now, allow me to elaborate as I give you 10 reasons why that once his career has concluded, Mark Henry will get that very nod.
