Mark Henry is someone who is hard to miss in a crowd. But when you talk about World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) appearances, he is not among the frequently seen personalities lately.
The 44-year-old former power lifter has made cameo appearances, relegated to minor cards or at times, a substitute opponent for the other giants like the Big Show or Kane. Seeing that he is unlikely to be involved in any major storyline, the man known as Sexual Chocolate may be nearing the end of his WWE career.
His contract is ending soon and he doesn't intend to re-sign with the company. He reveals that he would have retired back in 2013, but WWE big boss Vince McMahon did something to get his signature on the dotted line.
This time, however, it seems that Henry is serious about calling it a career, claiming that he has reached the point where he feels that he is simply too old to be doing his thing in the WWE circle.
Although he may no longer be in the spotlight, Henry has had his run in the WWE. He has experienced being a champion; played the face and heel character; and, of course, proven how his strength has brought him to success.
Henry plans to walk away from the WWE scene after Wrestlemania 32, although it may not come in the form of a honorable send-off.
With the WWE currently dealing with a packed roster, the best chance of seeing Henry wrestle for perhaps the last time would be at the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale.
He is bound to give a good show, seeing that his power and size are still assets on his end. But as far as a sweet exit is concerned, such may not be the case.
Will we see him in the future? We simply have to look at other wrestlers who have retired. Like the other WWE greats, don't be surprised Henry making special appearances when the WWE wants to size up things a bit.
