5 WWE Superstars who got better with age

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry

Mark Henry made his WWE debut when he was 24 years old. While he was always talented, it took him several years to realize his potential. Despite showing glimpses of promise, Henry only established himself as a top star during his "Hall of Pain" run.

In July 2011, a little after his 40th birthday, he smashed The Big Show's leg with a steel chair and announced that he had inducted the giant into the "Hall of Pain." This marked the beginning of an incredible stretch where the former Olympian was one of the most intimidating heels in WWE.

He won his first World Heavyweight Championship from Randy Orton and ran roughshod over the SmackDown roster. Henry admitted that this was the period of his career when he had finally grasped the nuances of professional wrestling and applied them to his character.

He eventually dropped the title to The Big Show at TLC 2011 but couldn't follow up due to a knee injury. His next moment of brilliance was in June 2013 when he interrupted John Cena to deliver a touching retirement speech before laying out the then WWE Champion.

The fans were so impressed by the promo that they were ready to see Henry win the title from Cena, but the company decided against pulling the trigger.
