Congratulations are in order for former World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry. The World's Strongest Man will be inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame at the Arnold Sports Festival in March. (Take a look at Mark Henry's WWE debut)

Before coming to WWE, Henry had already made a name for himself in Strongman and Powerlifting Competitions across the world. The Texas native was a member of the 1992 and 1996 Olympic powerlifting teams, and won gold, silver and bronze at the Pan American Games in 1995. Perhaps his most well-known feat was winning the 2002 Arnold Strongman Classic.

The World's Strongest Man is joined by some high-profile names at this year's induction ceremony, to name a few; former California governor and seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Godfather of Fitness" the late Jack LaLanne, and six-time Ms. Olympia Cory Everson.
