– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry discussed his new career documentary featured on A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends. He also spoke about what he told Vince McMahon when he informed him that he was signing with AEW and more. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):
Mark Henry on what he told Vince McMahon about joining AEW: “I told Vince, I said, ‘Hey, man, I’m gonna over there and try to make that place better, and kick your *** in the ratings.’ (laughs) And Vince is like, ‘I know you are.’ And it wasn’t like there was an argument or fussing or fighting. We ended on good terms, and I thought that was a lesson that a lot of people need to learn. Everything has seasons.”
On if he considers himself part of the WWE family: “Yes, I do. What we are talking about right now is a WWE deal. They produced it, I know all those guys, like … and I’m running it up the flagpole. I want to have the producers on to talk about this down the road. Like, the stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, it was a year and a half, and there was a lot of stuff that we didn’t use, and I want to ask them some questions.”
