Henry, who is currently signed to AEW as a commentator and coach, started his career in Vince McMahon’s company in 1996. Between the 1990s and early 2000s, the promotion’s product was labeled the Attitude Era, featuring violence and more adult content.

Mark Henry believes The Rock is “the greatest success story” in pro wrestling
When we speak of the Attitude Era, it is hard not to mention The Rock. The Brahma Bull was one of the major stars who rose to stardom during that time - with his rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin being a standout.
On an episode of the Busted Open podcast, Henry explained that The Rock’s origins and how he proved people wrong made him the greatest success story in pro wrestling.
Mark Henry announced his in-ring retirement in 2017 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the following year. After sporadic appearances, he left the promotion and joined AEW in 2021. He has been associated with the company as a coach and commentator.
