Mark Henry is All Elite and is part of the broadcast team for AEW RAMPAGE. Mark details his journey to AEW, what he hopes to accomplish while he’s there, and why he’s looking forward to coaching young talent like Darby Allin, Will Hobbs, and Riho. Mark speaks about his disappointing departure from WWE, his Wrestlemania moment with the Undertaker, and how the Hall Of Pain Mark Henry character was born from an in-ring rib that Vince McMahon played on Mark. Plus, Mark shares a few of his favorite matches, and explains how he came to co-host Busted Open Radio. - Zábava
Bless Mark Henry. I've never heard anyone talk bad about him. He is a legend.
Ryback talked bad about him. He said that Mark was lazy and uninspired because he was sleeping in a chair before their Wrestlemania match.
@@comcasttiny That's just one man
I've seen lifters that hate him. Probably because they ain't him.
@@comcasttiny like ryback was a safe wrestler
Golden heart
The fact they didn't even bother offering him the job in the first place like they do the others was the biggest red flag.
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on CZcams. I already make a lot of money on CZcams. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, thec
@@AxxLAfriku Never quit School. finish School. Success and fame doesn't last forever and there will come a day where you need that Plan B and another skill sets to fall back on.
@@AxxLAfriku Bad decision. By all means focus on your dream of CZcams but don't quit school or your job because if CZcams doesn't work out then you'll be left broke with little options. If you get to a point where CZcams can pay for your bills, groceries, etc then you quit your job.
@@matthewjuarbe5826 He is a troll.
AEW wouldn't be the same without Mark Henry. I always love when he says "Enough talk it's time for the main event" with a big smile. Mark Henry really is a living legend.
I personally would love to see Mark Henry incorporated into a managerial role at AEW as well. Maybe managing Powerhouse Hobbs hoping he can break away from the Team Taz angle. In that role, he can even physically get involved ringside as well from time to time handing out beatdowns when the ref isn't looking.
Maybe but a manager should be able to cut promos for the wrestler their representing & Mark Henry isn't a great promo guy.
Yeah we should all give people employment based on comments from random fans on the internet.
He can fill any roll. But I would like to see a talent scout and mentor/commentary role.
@@SjC420 unless he’s heel he did good with his heel run
@@GothboiKenzy he was passable. The only time I've ever been impressed with his mic skills was his fake retirement swerve with John Cena.
Give me one logical reason why you can't find a place for Mark Henry. A man that smart, that dedicated, and that loyal. Honestly, I got a little heated.
He’s a player not management material. It’s like nba players trying to be management. Bro, your job is to shut up and dribble that’s it.
They told Jericho they didn’t need him after he got a list and a plant way over with fans. Let that sink in for a minute.
And after he gave them a success of a PPV like MITB and still didn’t let him win it. Goes to show you how shitty wwe really is if you’re not tall and muscular asf
@@cristianperez2644 Vince has always notoriously looked down upon the shorter guys
where'd you get that profile pic from? lmao
@@Revster I did a search for insane Batman and it was one of the pictures that came up lol
Vince Mcmahon was sick to death of Jericho's constant refusal to being told no, always going on and on and on and on with shitty ideas that even Vince Mcmahon wouldn't touch
Take note kids: employers are NOT and will never be family, they will dispose you the moment you're no longer useful for them. It happens in every single industry, know your rights, know your worth and don't let them squeeze you out without getting at least properly compensated.
Unless it's a family business lol.
@@ItApproaches why do you state the obvious lol
I've never considered anyone except my family and friends who related to me to be my family's not at work nor school. But you can be friends but try not to be close friends to random people.
@@FpSGamesFtW Because everyone misses the obvious.
@@ItApproaches besides the fact that a very large amount of family businesses end up fully of jealousy and split the family apart because money is all that matters. : D
Mark Henry such a class act! Amazing athlete.
He's a great wrestler despite all the BS
Ridiculously athletic for his size. In his prime he could dunk a basketball and do the splits at 300Ibs - 350Ibs
After 25 years of loyal service to Vince, he can't find a job for Mark when he retires. What a bunch of crap.
Right??? Especially after given the fact that Mark has a great eye for talent. It's mind-boggling that Vince didn't want to keep him.
It’s disgusting how wwe treats there wrestlers
Yep. Unreal.
They found him a job. Mark just thought he could do more. And I agree
@@TheAutumnNetwork He discovered Big E and Braun Strowman through his connections in the strongman community. How could any wrestling company, _particularly_ one like WWE which favours big strong men so much, not value him more?!
The problem is WWE is working more like a production company than a wrestling company that's why they are far from what the audience likes
True and it’s successful for them it’s nice we have options now tho aew,tna etc
That's also why they're the only truly successful wrestling company on the planet that's regularly raking in the profit, tho, whilst every other competitor has either gone bankrupt or faded into obscurity. Not defending WWE or anything, just telling it how it is.
@@jayanths1221 They are a successful business, but a failure as a wrestling company
They make all their money with legacy content, not their current wrestling product.
@@knightshousegames I mean, I don't think they even want to be seen as a wrestling company. In fact, they like to go out of their way to make sure people know that the company is about "entertainment" and not professional wrestling. I mean, when was the last time you heard their talent roster being referred to as wrestlers and not performers or superstars or entertainers?
@@jayanths1221 It is a shame too, they own like most of the wrestling footage and heritage of the last 70 years, and they don't even like wrestling.
A talk of Jericho with Bray Wyatt is a MUST
Oh it’s coming, really really soon…
Aew literally don't need him...
:(
It's lovely to hear that young guys in AEW are coming to Mark for advice. It shows a lot of respect and humility and dedication to improving themselves in every way. Even small, light guys like Darby Allin and Dante Martin, whose wrestling styles have almost nothing in common with Mark's, still recognise that there's important things he can teach them. That's how you build the future of the business.
The reaction in Philly Live MITB 2013 retirement swerve match with Cena was amazing. Fans 1000% behind Mark. Fans singin out "Somebody gonna get their ass whipped!" lol ...what a good dude, always sounds genuine
I was there it was awesome. 3-6 mafia is from Philly as well - was a great PPV - last one I’ve been too
@@jdghegan are they? I thought they were Memphis or somethin lol, and I'm pretty damn straight with my Philly rap State Prop yay yayyy jk lol, but I do love Philly and all that comes with, so that's cool af if so!
@@MilkmanC nah they from Memphis idk why I used to confuse Memphis with Philly too back then lol
@@getsugaallen6612 Ok yea I actually remember this bc I was thinking man I really do know Philly rap as far as semi mainstream goes at least.
@@jdgheganTher for Memphis you Fool
That's why I never cringed about Mark Henry, Big Show, Or Christian joining AEW because like Jericho they wanna help the younger guys out not tryna stand in their way.
Christian really benefited from it. He’s now the Impact world champion. If he was in WWE, he probably would be playing second fiddle to Edge, or in catering right now. Now he can be his own man again.
@@PlusUltraAdrian And now he's the manager of the Tag Team Champions
What a beautiful person Mark Henry is, great human being
Just like Bret Hart said a number of years ago why do you have people in charge of jobs that never done it before, have no passion for the business, or never drew a dime?? That job should have been offered to Mark Henry yet they let people like Nick Khan take people's livelihoods away
Imagine not having something in the company for Mark Henry to do lol. It’s impossible.
Mark sounds like a well spoken man. Shame on that company for not giving him a role.
Since Mark Henry has come to AEW, I've seen so many events being organized from Baseball Games and Food Drive's for the community. All being run by Mark Henry and Co, you can definitely see the huge asset he's already bring to the company as well as doing Color Commentary and being a coach. Same with ThunderRosa and her Project Fire Buddies event. From my understanding, he took on a lot of Brandi Rhodes' responsibilities as Chief Brand Officer since she was on Maternity leave.
Such a awesome soul makes sense that hes the strongest man . Truly humble to hear him speak
Credit to those unhappy for leaving and finding happiness and purpose with AEW. I’m looking forward to WWE coming back as well. The more quality places there are to work the better wrestling will be
Both mark Henry and Paul white were literally tired and exhausted and freakin had enough of doing the same thing in wwe and both of them just wanted to be different and be in a better environment where you could change anything but Vince and triple h never wanted to change anything and now almost everyone is gone
I think Randy is the only “ruthless aggression” guy left.
First chris it's stuff like this interview is why I love this channel. You are a plethora of talent! And it shows everywhere you go, everywhere you put your hand in from wrestling to music to booking your own cruise! And second from 1 Henry to another Henry.....he is the man...very talented and well said! Awesome!
"Chris Jericho's such a gentleman & a hospitable human being, he went & got me a couple of paper towels!...".
--Mark Henry, mid-2021.
I love that line at the end where he said you gotta do what you feel like you were meant for or its like you're slapping god in the face.
I was scared during Henry's Hall of Pain run. He was believable and should've been the one DB to cash-in instead of Paul Wight at the time. They could've had their MITB rematch inside the cage without the big gold belt and DB. Is simple narrative that wouldn't hurt all 3 down the line to WM28. But...is World Wrestling Entertainment, they love to complicate even in early 2010s.
Wow just wow I remember how hot that angle was at the time and all 3 of them are in AEW that's crazy
@@Juggalo94 Yeah.
Oh yeah I remember now and I just remember his run as the world heavyweight champion. He was legit AF even defending his title with a ,,broken leg". Back then he was legit made to look like an unstopable mosnter, also the time he came back as the worlds strongest man attacked Batista and feuded with Kurt Angle over the world title.
Respect both of you💜💛💜💛
He always had one of the most badass theme songs In WWE history 💯
Did 3 6 mafia make that song specifically for him or was that actually on one of their albums? If anyone knows?
@@trebaker0619 36 made it for him
God bless Mark Henry for helping the kids! As a man knowing how hard it is as a kid growing up poor I do everything I can for my nephews. And he could take his millions and just sit back and be comfortable, but he's going to go back to those uncomfortable situations and lesson people suffering so he suffers through the awkwardness. He demolishes that awkwardness, and then people can just be happy like God made them. We have to learn fear shame and Hate. We come into this world full of love and I think that's what balance is all about that's why you got to let go of hate because the light from your love won't shine through as bright. And that mother f***** Mark Henry be glowing!
The commentary booth for AEW rampage (Taz, Mark Henry, Chris Jericho, & Excalibur) is amazing. I like what AEW is doing with everyone
I love seeing mark henry lift his opponents. He was such a slammer. You could tell they signed up for the bump, and they damn well would take it. mark henry power slam is business
Mark is gonna be a huge help in developing the young and upcoming huge wrestlers in AEW, like Will Hobbs & Bear Country.
If only 36 Mafia would do him a new theme song since he probably won’t be able to take his WWE theme with him.
You never know cm punk got cult of personality in aew
@@kashaunterry9117 but that’s because Cult of Personality wasn’t made by WWE at all, they had to buy the rights to it. They own the rights to the Mark Henry song because they paid Three 6 Mafia to make it, just like Rage Against The Machine for Jack Swagger song, even tho RATM sang it, WWE owns the rights.
This is very relatable from any aspect of business you work in. Thank you Mark and Chris
To me the only time wrestlers get managerial roles are of they are injured (so it stops them suing WWE) or if they are family (H.H.H)/close to family members(Road Dogg).
Mark really has his head on straight
And he should've been in a position to exert influence over the industry and paid the dues necessary. WWE should've had a position custom cut for Mark Henry as much as he's given to the industry. Hope AEW continues to appreciate him.
Mark Henry is a bonafide legend ❤️❤️
I laugh at the thought that some idiot thought that of all their talent
The one they wouldn't say yes to is Mark Henry
I grew up watching and loving the work he would put in
With all his experience and knowledge in the business
I havent watched a talk is Jericho in a while but when I saw the title my jaw dropped
AEW has momentum on their side that for sure
Can't wait to see what the next couple years has in store 💙
Wow 🥺
The world strongest man
Excellent interview once again! This is why I love this channel.
Mark Henry put over Brock Lesnar. Never forget it folks
That was so disappointing. Because Mark had good momentum when he returned in 2002. Back then we thought "Man, maybe he can beat Brock!". And then he got kinda squashed.
Not just in 2002 but even in 2014.
@@sundarchip Nah, he was not believable anymore in 2014, because he had already been buried too often.
2 legends.
I'm feeling ROMANTICAL!
Good for you man. Much love.
Him and Big Show would form an hell of a tag team, the world's biggest athelete and the world's strongest man, even at this age it'd be so great.
I chuckled when he said I want to be an “executive” 😂. Imagine that! You are a player not the management. You will always be just a player.
We miss you on wwe b safe on awe mark Henley
We are really gaining momentum, on and off screen!
Wrestlers are getting sick and tired being treated like trash. WWE needs to learn how to appreciate their talent. They are not just money-makers!!!!!!!😡
“I’m going to do everything I can while I’m here to get those people to be you… you gonna have some competition in the next couple years.” That gave me chills. Mark is still so passionate and dedicated to the business, I’m so elated he’s part of the AEW team.
Mark, you busted your ass during some of these matches like I had not seen other do my brother. You, in my eyes, are what a role model in professional wrestling looks like to me.
AEW's up and comers are in their early to mid 20s WWE'S are in their late 30s to early 40s. Which program do you think will grow over the next 5 years?
The program that’s been around forever WWE
@@gordleyt after seeing Tony Khan follow the same failed route every other wrestling company used I totally agree
It's good to see Mark Henry becoming more involved in the behind the scenes activities in WWE. But he's exactly right. He knew when it was time to go when you've got John Laurinaitis telling you that you can't be released from your contract. Even Corny knows he's nothing more than a stooge for management. To Mark, it showed him that the office never saw him as more than talent because of his in-ring ability and didn't acknowledge his behind the scenes ability. Luckily he got out before WWE started with the massive cuts. Who knows what would have happened to him if he would have stayed long enough to be handed walking papers, let alone what he would have said. Think of all the great talent they sent out on the ice floes in the name of "fiscal responsibility." Bray Wyatt. Cesaro. Regal. John Morrison... pushes last as long as a week in some cases and then talent is shown the door. WWE is a sinking ship. They won't admit it, they never have, and never will. Vince's ideas are so off the wall and based in fiction, he still wants comic book super heroes in the ring. He's got so many ideas for so many people he can't keep them straight. He can't even remember that Luke Harper sounded crappy doing a southern drawl, and insisted he started speaking in one a week later. Now that Nick Kahn is there, Vince probably has less control over more of his company now that Triple H was forced to the sidelines, then suffered a heart attack, and Vince is now running the developmental side of the company, as well as the two flagship brands. I bet Nick Kahn is one of those guys that seems nice and cheerful in front of the camera too, then gets everyone else to do the heavy lifting and dirty work to keep his hands clean while he masterminds the next round of talent releases.
Great podcast guys 💯👌🏾
hes only 50! dude still has so much to time to give, and he wants to!
it was so fun seeing Henry on Sammy Vlog :)
It’s sad to see Mark Henry be overlooked when he is a veteran. The man has been in the WWF/E since 1997/98. Creative put him through bad gimmicks and good storylines, but he deserved to be a member of WWE’s backstage crew in one way or another.
He seems to have it easy in AEW whatever he's doing
Mark Henry is honest man WWE really miss the Gold alongside Jericho who reinvent himself all the time
I personally think mark henry is underrated he's on of my favorite big guys in the business. AEW is going to be a great opportunity for him
Mark Henry is one of the all time greatest with the biggest heart for the business, I'm looking forward to the American Dragon on T.I.J.
Fozzy should do a cover of Europe's Final Countdown for Brian Danielson the song a classic but Fozzy could give it more 🔥
There seems to be a theme with Johnny Laryngitis being the hiring and firing boy for Nick Khan. Good move Mark, you knew the corporation wasn't appreciating the twenty plus years you put into the business being one of the most intimidating heels to ever step in a ring.
Two legends
I like Jericho. He's great work in the ring. I love Mark Henry The World's Strongest Man/
"The Silverback" his finisher, everything about HIM is just so bad ass, and it's a fucking shame that The WWE didn't do more with MARK HENRY because I love him as a face, or a heel. Period. His finisher is fucking devestating! Just amazing, is Mark Henry... Like the only mf that could even hurt Mark would have been UNDERTAKER... and yeah... I miss Mark Henry, all day!
A very underrated legend. Mark henry did everything they gave him. The hall of pain was great and should have lasted longer.
Lots of wwe legends are heading to AEW
It's a shame edge hasn't moved to AEW.
What I want to see:
Keith Lee Heel Turn (retain personality) but just nice Evil Heel that destroys people
Mark Henry joins him as a Heel Manager
The Cathedral of Pain opens and Lee gets one of the Major belts on him
That's messed up man. Mark has been around for YEARS! He's earned a spot in the business doing what he wants. WWE doesn't use these vets like Mark to further build newer talent. If you want stars let the guys who are already stars show them how, mentor, teach and guide these guys. At least aew realizes those are valuable assets to this business.
I have always liked Mark Henry, but anyone who has only ever worked for the WWE, doesn't know "the business" they only know the WWE.
At least being in AEW it will give him a different perspective and experience in Wrestling.
Imagine if he was in WWE under Triple H?
Remember Sexual Chocolate? What a legend.
Not 1 dislike. Let that sink in.
Mark could guide the talent, agent, help them to traverse the roads especially new ones.I know AJ is counting to be as a talent scout after he retires but I dunno even he might get the shaft.
“If you were a tree what would you be?”
The most random part of this clip!!
Gotta love mark man
Mark Henry is my idol
He was never taken seriously unfortunately, but I was not a huge fan of him. The man though, definitely a fan of his mentality.
If someone had pimped MH's moveset, he could have been a consistent main eventer.
I see AEW as the company who took everything WWE did wrong and did it right 😂 they created this company by being negligent.. once upon a time it was a dream to go to WWE now that’s far from it .
I love you Mark 💙🌊
chris, you need a clips channel, my man.
Jericho's pic on the video looks like he just got back from auditioning for steel panther lol
Hall of Pain was Brodus Clay's idea for himself originally
WWE was always about Vince- not the wrestlers. Very sad but true statement. That's why so many are flocking to AEW for allowing freedom and creativity! WWE better wake up otherwise John Cena and Brock Lesnar will join AEW next! 😎💀
If that happens WWE will lose their minds lol 😂
I mean i know Mark is a legend and be a great head for anyone to have to ask advice and all from...BUT I cant help but wonder what advice would Darby and Dante Martin be seeking from Mark Henry!? 😅they goin ask How far they should let the bigger guys throw em? Which now thinkin of it Mark has worked with the best small guys and high flyers so he prolly would have good points for those guys but still cant help but think of that and giggle like it dont make sense
The problem with wwe is sometimes they treat there legends like garbage. If you ain't a stone cold the rock or hulk Hogan or undertaker or even bret you get diminished and there so many legends that contribute to the business that Vince would not have the money for is it wasn't for them like Chris Jericho was the first ever undisputed championship mark Henry was a world heavyweoght champion as well as big show even dean ambrose cmpunk Jeff Hardy matt Hardy all contributed great towards the business even the Dudley's and other great ones but look how wwe treats them after spending 30+ dedicated years to the business some legends passed away that don't even get a spotlight or a good memorable speech like Eddie gurreros was. Look how they treat Rey Mysterio now in wwe is garbage that gets abused and overlooked but of course is old so wwe can't do anything with him but make him a fluke to ruin the end towards his career wwe does to alot of legends they even did it to mick Foley hardcore Holly JBL they turned there legends into joke and legacy a mockery look how they treated undertaker at the ending of his career straight ruined him even Goldberg. They even did it to bret when Vince actually screwed him in his hometown and then later be responsible for his brother Owen harts death... News fact look how the wwe treats him another hard working dedicated superstar that wwe never fully pushed but had so much to give
This cool as a cucumber Chris Jericho combined with the loud mouth Chris Jericho, is what we the fans want to hear on Rampage commentary.
I just want to know when the kid he had with Mae Young will debut in AEW?
Nice 😊😊
Given how successful AEW has become and how they've managed to turned former wwe wrestlers into even bigger stars and more successful case and point the late Brodie Lee, Miro, and hell even Jon Moxley that should tell released wrestlers that their are greenier pastures outside and away from the wwe. Wrestlers don't need the wwe for their careers to be successful anymore because AEW is the #1 promotion for wrestlers who want to be the best wrestler they can be.
When the business start worry about their stock price and caring about their investors instead of worry about the customers and caring about their employees, you know that business will go down hill sooner or later
Mark henry for president
I just wanna see Henry world strong slam one of them young dudes to the hall of pain one last time
Marco Stunt.
Why does Jericho have only 210k Subscribers?
Mark Henry is just a great human being.
If I were a wrestler, I’d look at WWE and AEW and honestly it would be a no-brainer. I might not agree with a lot of what/how AEW does business but I get the sense that Tony Khan respects all of his talent and treats them fairly. Vince, on the other hand, barely knows who they are and will gladly let Nick Khan and co fire them.
Good luck to Mark Henry 😎👍
I know for a fact that mark his great mind for the business only if WWE wasn't racist he would have been great in the office , booking, etc
That's damn right, even Steve Austin, said, " it's because it's a white company " after somebody ask him, why black people don't get a push for the big belt 😎
@@demonhunter5136 yea its sad how they treat black and brown talent in WWE
@@heartbreakkid2 they are pushing Bobby tho but he's not the right one to push
@@nakul3g they are but out of the talent over the years how many black champions were there that got the big push not just now but the history
