Most people despise that term, but not in this context. WWE writers have thrown every type of silly storyline possible at Mark Henry. In a business fueled by enormous ego's, most would have snarled at the idea of taking on some of the tasks which were tossed at Mark. But, not Mark.
In fact, he not only accepted and owned insane angles, such as the Mae Young, "Hand Henry" storyline, but he made these crazy angles work. He also found a way to minimize the cringe factor and turn these storylines into pure entertainment, regardless of how ridiculous they truly were.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
