5 Things we learned from Mark Henry's WWE Network Special

#2 The infamous 'retirement' promo

The documentary also shows how Henry's fake retirement promo fooled his peers at the same time

Most hardcore wrestling fans know about this promo. As a matter of fact, Mark Henry showed some of his best acting chops during this infamous segment, as opposed to him struggling with promos during his unwanted time in OVW.

Henry had texted D'Lo Brown to watch Monday Night RAW during the week where he was supposed to 'retire' all of a sudden. Of course, D'Lo had no idea what was going to happen, and he also comically mentioned how Mark never texted him except for this particular case.

As the segment rolled on, even Big Show was 'crying like a baby' when Mark Henry announced his 'retirement' during that segment. To be fair, Henry's performance was surreal, and a lot of fans felt the same way Big Show did.

That is, until Mark Henry eventually slammed John Cena, thus, duping everyone through his acting chops.

Big Show mentioned he was typing an emotional text to Henry in the middle of this segment, and couldn't believe that Mark Henry was ribbing the entire WWE Universe all along. The same can be said for D'Lo Brown.

Truly, the fake retirement speech was one of the best highlights from Mark Henry's career.
