He probably still is Soulja...except when he's in the squared circle...but I wouldn't want to find out personally!! ;D

Regardless of the profession, it's always good to see a local guy make it big..

I went to school with him.  He wasn't that great on the fb field but he could definitely throw the weights around.

Powerlifting was his thing.

Oh yeah, this must mean we get to see Worthing High School's Undertaker beat him again doesn't it?

Powerlifting was his thing.

Marc had an older brother, Patrick, who was a very good football player.  Patrick played college ball at Texas A & M.  Marc did not do as well as Patrick on the football field.  He was not able to reach the level that PEOPLE EXPECTED of him with his size and his agility.  It is purported (I never saw it happen) that he could dunk a basketball even with his substantial girth.

When I was a sophmore at WB, we held a power lifting meet, and big Mark Henry was there. He brought his own weights 100 lb plates instead of 45 lb plates. I remember our football team was spotting during the meet and when he lifted everybody was kind of like" I hope he can lift the weight cause we can't handle it with four of us". The guy was a beast with the weights, I may be wrong but he was benching like 600lbs in HS.

Not sure about his football skills but I saw him run the lead off leg of the weight man 4x100 relay at the Silsbee track meet his Sr year.  He was pretty quick for about 30-40 meters but then he was done.  The guy had the biggest head I have ever seen on a human!

I've heard alot of people say this.

Mark was a great kid in school and his career from the olympics to the WWE has been very interesting to watch. The one thing I know about Mark is he is a great person. He is really a gentle giant. Very deserving of success.
