It's going to take a good man to beat me: Mark Henry
During a recent appearance on Booker T's Hall of Fame podcast, Henry noted he had shed 80 pounds and felt lighter than ever.
Mark Henry is currently 49 years old, and he is waiting to turn 50 before he reenters the ring. Henry feels like he didn't get a proper tribute match in front of the fans in which he got to put over an up-and-coming talent. Mark Henry wants to experience that moment, and the veteran is willing to put in the extra gym hours.
"I figure that I'm going to wait until I'm 50, so the expectation is lower. At 50, they don't expect me to go out there and have a 20 minute, five-star match, just to be honest (Henry laughs). I'm telling you that right now. Listen, I'm going to go out there in really good shape. I'm already 80 pounds lighter than I was when I had my last match. I'm going to be in really good shape. It's going to take a good man to beat me, but it might not take him long," said Henry.
Mark Henry first revealed his intentions to come out of retirement on Busted Open Radio in February. The former world heavyweight champion has since been training tirelessly for his swan song, and all the effort has visibly been yielding him the desired results.
Henry was last seen on WWE TV during the RAW Legends Night special in a backstage segment featuring Randy Orton.
