#2. WWE Superstar & Hall of Famer Mark Henry is "punished" after Vince McMahon gets buyers remorse
Mark Henry was signed by WWE back in 1996 after competing in the Olympic Games. At the time, it was an unprecedented 10-year deal that was believed to be worth $250,000 a year, which was considered to be huge back then for a WWE Superstar.
Henry didn't have any experience in the ring at the time and he reportedly didn't click with the business in the way that McMahon had hoped. The incredible contract that the had penned meant that WWE would have to hand over a big payout if they were to fire him, so instead, Vince McMahon apparently decided to put the Superstar into several humiliating storylines.
One of the worst was when he became "Sexual Chocolate" and went on to have a child with Mae Young who was actually a hand.
Luckily, Henry pushed through and is now a WWE Hall of Famer and a former World Champion, but The World's Strongest Man put up with his own fair share of humiliating gimmicks before he was handed a decent shot.
