WWE star Mark Henry recently spoke with Myles Galloway while Henry was in Dubai this week promoting WWE 2K17’s global release. You can watch the entire interview in the video player below, and the following are some highlights:
On His Current Role with WWE:
No, I’m happy in my role. My role is a lot of times behind the camera. We will be seeing what happens here in a little bit, but I believe people will be presently surprised. I have already had my “retirement”, so an honorable death is what every warrior looks for. I’m looking to see who that is going to be, who is qualified, who can actually get the job done. I have one more department for somebody in the Hall of Pain.
On the Reaction of His “Retirement” Speech:
Somebody referred to a retirement as a “Mark Henry”, it’s like, wow, we came that far, huh? I chose the Orange suit because because I just have style, I like the way the jacket looked and it fit well, and I wanted the people to remember that moment. I didn’t think the response was going to be to that degree. I had professional athletes and wrestlers that I never met before call–not sure how they got my number, but I guess they felt it was safe for that person to call me and say, hey man, you had a great career, and even a better jacket. I guess the Big Show’s message was the best. He left me a message and said he is going to kill me, that he was sitting on the couch with his wife crying, and said, that’s how you do me? You used me. You used my feelings, and I said, oh my bad.
Being on the Wrestlemania 32 Crowd in His Hometown:
Oh my gosh. It was such an unbelievable experience, and to have my friends and family there, was real good too.
