Henry could nail that.
It would all depend on just how big a Mark Henry return would be; but I could see the dude getting a pretty nice return pop.

Yes he has, although it was part of the documented cycle of the career of Henry...
(Heel>Injury>return as face>turn heel>injury>return as face...)
He was fresh off an injury and subsequent MetRx Strongman competition win, which they were putting over heavily with "recap vignettes" before his return to add credibility to the "World's Strongest Man" moniker above his "failed" Olympic performance from years previous. Also, had this Titantron vid:
Beating everyone to the "beef cakes" joke. Take that!
Of course, it wasn't that long before he turned heel. Again.
