5 WWE veterans Vince McMahon respects the most

#3 Mark Henry

It's crazy to think that as a superstar pre-retirement, Mark Henry was the second-longest tenured employee in the company only behind The Undertaker. To call Henry a loyal employee would be an understatement.

He's been in all sorts of bizarre storylines, particularly during the Attitude Era with The Nation of Domination and the "Sexual Chocolate" persona. However, he still had some memorable moments, such as his 2006 WrestleMania feud against The Undertaker, and most notably, his Hall of Pain run.

The HoP run saw him win the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time, a title win which felt very much like a "thank you for your years of service" type of victory. He would dominate in his brief run but his tenure with the company alone earned him the respect of Vince McMahon.

In 2018, The World's Strongest Man entered his rightful place into the WWE Hall of Fame.
