“The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry will go down as a legend in pro-wrestling history. Henry was at his dominating best between 2011 to 2014. In his initial days of wrestling, he started his career with the likes of JBL, The Undertaker, The Rock, etc. 

When The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) came to the USA back from Canada, he did not have a place to stay during his training days. Mark Henry helped The Rock by giving him a place to stay at his house. Both have trained and wrestled together in their early days and are friends to date.
