Richard Simmons' involvement.
At this point, most of us are aware that Mr. Henry has lost a considerable amount of weight. Making an effort to reclaim his position as the World's Strongest Man, it's likely that he will be placed back on the main event scene upon his return.
Let's take into consideration the involvement of Richard Simmons in all of this. Many speculate that Henry will return as a face, which compliments Richard's overall personality, though if Henry were to remain as a heel, we know that Simmons could work with that.
Taking a trip down memory lane, Richard Simmons acted as Rob Conway's manager during his "just look at me" heel gimmick. As a result, Rob Conway went on to main event Wrestlemania, defeating two Shelton Benjamins in a sixty-minute iron man match. Given the match's length of time, the IWC wondered how WWE Creative managed to pass that off as a legitimate storyline. One user on a website that no longer exists credited Richard Simmons' manager personality for the "Conway push." This also explains the Conway Pop and the general enthusiasm that the crowd showed for Rob during his matches. The answer here is rather apparent: Richard Simmons builds stars.
As Mark Henry prepares to make his return to the squared circle, we can only wonder at this point if he will become another great like Rob Conway. Being well-aware of the managerial skills of Richard Simmons, I remain confident that Mark will headline the next Wrestlemania and go on to have a successful career.
