2. Henry Wins The World Heavyweight Championship
In 2011, Mark Henry’s 15-year WWE career was finally vindicated when he defeated Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship.
This was on the heels of Mark Henry’s Hall Of Pain persona being formed when he laid out the Big Show at Money in the Bank.
This victory in September 2011 made Mark Henry the second African-American WWE World Champion, the first being Booker T.
