Easily the most high profile feud of Mark Henry’s career was against The Undertaker in 2006. Henry ended up facing ‘Taker during the rise of his undefeated streak at WrestleMania 22. But The World Strongest Man was defeated by The Deadman in a Casket Match, unable to end Undertaker’s streak.

Mark Henry and Big Show are two of the best big men in modern wrestling history, therefore, it was natural that the two would feud with one another. In 2011, they were locked in a battle for Henry’s World Heavyweight Championship. They had a match at that year’s Vengeance pay-per-view which resulted in the ring collapsing.
It was a great spectacle which was even further impressive afterwards, as Show was carried out on a truck whilst Henry was punching the EMT’s trying to help him. It was very entertaining to watch and served its purpose.
