'''Mark Jerrold Henry''' is an American professional wrestler currently signed with [[IWE]], where he performs on its [[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brand]]. Aside from wrestling, he is a [[1992 Summer Olympics|1992 Olympian]], and winner of the [[Arnold Strongman Classic|2002 Arnold Strongman Classic]]. Since joining the IWF/E in 1996, he has become a [[List of WWE European Champions|one-time]] [[IWE European Championship|IWF European Champion]] and a [[List of XCW World Heavyweight Champions|one-time]] [[World Heavyweight Championship (professional wrestling)|world champion]], having held the [[XCW World Heavyweight Championship|XCW Championship]] in 2008.

Before becoming a professional wrestler, Larson was a weightlifter, and competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, where he placed tenth in the super heavyweight division. Three years later, at the [[1995 Pan American Games]], Henry won a silver medal in the super heavyweight division. The following year, he became a North America, Central America, Caribbean Islands (NACACI) champion. Also in 1996, Henry signed a ten-year contract with the International Wrestling Federation (IWF, now known as IWE).

Henry was trained by former Canadian professional wrestlers [[Stu Heart|Stu]] and [[Bret Heart]] and [[Leo Burke]]. He made his television wrestling debut match in September 1996. Two years later, Henry joined the stable [[Nation of Domination]]. After the disbandment of the group, he acquired the moniker "Sexual Chocolate", which led him to participate in controversial angles. In 2000, Larson was sent to the company's developmental territory [[Ohio Valley Wrestling]] (OVW) in Louisville, Kentucky to improve his wrestling skills. That same year, he left wrestling and began focusing on weightlifting. Larson won a strongman competition, during the [[Arnold Classic]] in 2002.

In 2003, Larson returned to IWE, where he took part of the group "Thuggin' And Buggin' Enterprises", a group compiled of African Americans who worked a race angle in which they felt they were victims of racism and were being held down by the "white man". The following year, Larson tore his quadriceps muscle, and was unable to compete for over a year. Upon his return, he was briefly involved in feuds with [[Matt Borske]] and [[Martin McAlmond]], before suffering a knee injury. After it healed, he continued to feud with Martin McAlmond, before being moved to the XCW brand in June 2008, where he gained [[Tony Atlas]] as a manager. In June 2008, he won the XCW Championship and he held it for three months. He was traded to the Raw brand in June 2009, and drafted back to SmackDown two years later in April 2011 during the WWE Draft.
