He had been a six times World Champion in WWE. He was also one of the biggest names of TNA Wrestling where he won the World Championship six times in total.
Recently, Angle made a shocking revelation that ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ Mark Henry was bullied after joining WWE. He also admitted that Henry was a good person, still, he was bullied during his tenure in WWE. Speaking with Storytime with Dutch Mantell, Kurt Angle revealed the following;
Former WWE World Champion Was Bullied? Shocking Revelation From Kurt Angle
“I don’t know. To be honest with you, Mark [Henry] is a good dude. I’ve so much respect for him, but when he came in, I know he didn’t talk a lot. Mark can be a little bit quiet at times when he doesn’t know people. When he knows people, he’s loud and energetic and very excited to hear. I think he kind of kept to himself, and that makes you mysterious, and that makes the boys (stars in the locker room) think this guy has an attitude.”

“That’s why I think they kinda screwed with Mark in the beginning. It wasn’t because of the money he got, because let’s face it; the guy is the strongest man in the world. He deserves a contract like that. I just think he didn’t really get to know the people, or maybe they didn’t get to know him and who he really was, and I think that’s why he had a difficult time in the first couple of years.”
Kurt Angle and Mark Henry worked together in WWE
Henry was often regarded as ‘The World’s Strongest Man’ and the phrase was very much accurate for him. At first, he was pushed as a mid card in WWE but he failed to win any big championships until 2008 when he won the ECW Championship. It was the beginning of the main event journey in WWE.
In 2011, he won the World Heavyweight Championship and had an excellent three months run as the champion. Henry was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018 and he is regarded as one of the most respected legends of the professional wrestling for being instrumental to the careers of many youngers talents, and mostly, being a great person.
