“I think any time we can have a guy with the experience of Mark Henry, both in the ring and outside the ring, just helps our company. It’s one of the things that we needed very much when we first started because it was basically me, Dustin Rhodes, and Dean Malenko were the guys that had decades of experience on live T.V. Here we are a year and a half later and our guys and girls are still learning. So having a guy like Mark come in is the same thing like having a guy like Paul Wight come in.

“He can do anything behind the scenes. He can do anything in front of the scenes. He can talk and maybe one day he can put on the knee pads and the boots and wrestle again. Or even put on a salmon colored sports coat. But any time we can have somebody like Mark with that quality as a person and that quality as a performer, it just makes us a better company.”

We will have to see what Mark Henry will have to say on the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite as there is no doubt Henry will have a lot of things he wants to get off his chest.
