Once the victim of bullying and a few stints in juvenile detention, Mark's prowess for powerlifting helped turn his life around and made him an Olympic athlete. But after refusing to cheat in a sport riddled with performance enhancers, Mark turned to his childhood passion: Sports Entertainment. Navigating the backstage politics and in-ring challenges, Mark Henry would eventually establish himself as WWE's "World's Strongest Man" in the ring.
