Mark Henry is an icon in the world of pro wrestling, and the World's Strongest Man continues to train for an in-ring return. We don't know when and where the match will take place, though it seems likely he would want to finish his career in a WWE ring given his history with the company.
As you can see, Henry continues to lose weight and increase muscle, something that's led to him having something of a startling new look.
"There’s a lot of kids that didn’t get to see me wrestle," he told Booker T last month. "They only saw me on YouTube. It’s been enough time that has passed. Also, I quit before I had a last match, before I waved at everybody and said, ‘Ok. I had the pink jacket on. I’m sorry I lied to you all that I was leaving and retiring. I own it.”
"I did not get that match where you go and pay tribute to the fans and you go and you wrestle somebody that’s up and coming that’s talented and you give them, what we call, the rub. I didn’t do that, and I feel guilty. That’s why I’m doing it. I figure that I’m going to wait until I’m 50 so the expectation is lower. At 50, they don’t expect me to go out there and have a 20 minute, five star match."
"I’m going to go out there in really good shape. I’m already 80 pounds lighter than I was when I had my last match. I’m going to be in really good shape. It’s going to take a good man to beat me, but it might not take him long.”
Henry last appeared on WWE programming back in January when he was wheeling around backstage on a scooter because his foot was in a boot due to an unknown injury. The WWE Hall of Famer was buried by Randy Orton at the time, but it's clear a lot has changed since then and he's now fit and ready for action.
