Gonna list the three main reasons in order of importance.
3. Mark Henry is big. Vince likes big guys.
2. He has a long term contract.
1. Other than the Michael Hayes incident, I can't remember Henry ever complaining about anything. This is a guy that didn't even bitch about the Mae Young giving birth to a hand bullshit. Is Mark Henry a fantastic wrestler? Fuck no. But is Mark Henry a good employee (errrrr independent contractor)? Yes he is. He doesn't bitch about not being utilized, Doesn't do anything dumb to embarrass the company. Why wouldn't Vince keep a big strong guy that doesn't bitch about everything?
