By all accounts, aside from another name being added to the class very late on, we now know all of the names that will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame on Friday, April 6th to kick off this year's WrestleMania weekend. It is a pretty stacked class too. The first name announced and the man who will headline this year's class is Goldberg, a former WCW Champion whose contributions to that company were pivotal during his peak. The most decorated tag team of all time, The Dudley Boyz, will also be inducted now that both Bubba Ray and D-Von have seemingly retired from in-ring competition. Those aren't the only big names either. Ivory will be inducted, Hillbilly Jim, Jeff Jarrett, Warrior Award recipient Jarrius 'JJ' Robertson and last but not least celebrity inductee Kid Rock.

This week on Raw another name was announced for this year's class, The World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. Despite the very deserving names listed above it seems as if none of them have had quite the reaction from their peers that Henry has had following the announcement of his induction. Clearly those he has shared a locker room with for the past 22 years believe that he more than deserves to be immortalized in the HOF and any of us that have been tuned in for large chunks of his career will likely wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

The majority of wrestlers who make it in WWE are ones who have plied their trade in other promotions, or in the present day, more likely ones who have worked their way up through NXT. Mark Henry did not do that and it was his life before pro wrestling that likely led to Vince McMahon falling in love with him. Throughout the first half of the 1990s Henry became an established powerlifter, smashing all sorts of records from the get go. That's where his World's Strongest Man moniker came from later in his career when he was with WWE.

Once Henry signed for WWE in 1996 he stayed there for the duration. The run he is currently on with the company is the very same one that began 22 years ago. That alone should warrant a place among the elite in the Hall Of Fame. There aren't many Superstars in the history of the company that have managed to keep hold of their place on the roster as long as that. The WSM has under gone some pretty drastic character changes during that time as well. He first gained real notoriety as a member of The Nation of Domination, then transformed in to a ladies' man with the nickname Sexual Chocolate.

Those early gimmicks alone likely wouldn't have been enough to warrant a place in the HOF but that really was just the first chapter of Henry's WWE career. When you have a man with his credentials you can only treat him as a joke for so long before you realize that you need to do something more serious with him. By the mid-2000s Henry was chasing World Championships and even feuding with The Undertaker. In fact Mark is one of the poor souls who fell to The Deadman during his infamous WrestleMania streak. We say poor soul, but taking on Taker at WrestleMania is basically the greatest honor for any wrestler in the business.

It wasn't until 2011 that Henry managed to finally get his hands on the World Championship for the first time. Despite being 15 years into his wrestling career it was at this point that it really felt that the man formerly known as Sexual Chocolate really hit his stride. Henry started inducting WWE Superstars into what he labelled his Hall of Pain and it is likely what most fans remember him for. If it wasn't certain before it was this run that solidified to most that one day Mark Henry would be a WWE Hall of Famer.

Almost five years ago Henry teased that he was retiring during an episode of Raw in what turned out to be one of the greatest swerves in the show's history. When an emotional Henry was joined in the ring by John Cena he delivered a World's Strongest Slam to the then WWE Champion and started a memorable rivalry with The Franchise Player. That might have all been a ruse but unfortunately this time his retirement is for real. Mark Henry will no longer compete in the ring and on April 6th in New Orleans he and the WWE Universe will be able to celebrate that memorable night when he pretended to retire as well as the rest of his illustrious 22 year career in professional wrestling.
