Former World Heavyweight Champion reveals shock at major WWE moment that could've "put people in danger"

WWE has given fans countless memorable moments over the years. A former World Heavyweight Champion believes that an iconic spot could have put people in danger if it didn’t go according to plan.

Mark Henry and Big Show competed in an earth-shattering match at WWE Vengeance 2011. The match became famous for a ring collapse incident that caught fans completely off guard.

Fans have seen rings collapse a few times ever since that spot took place. In an interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Mark Henry detailed when he got to know about the spot.

"I think they told me that day when I got to the arena," the former World Heavyweight Champion said.

The World’s Strongest Man then spoke about the work and effort that goes into planning such a spot to perfection. He noted that people could have gotten injured had it not been executed properly.

"It’s a magic trick to letting all of that stuff happen at the moment it’s supposed to happen, not before. Because then you put people in danger." [H/T - TJR Wrestling]

Henry was part of some memorable matches and storylines during his time in the company. He was an outstanding performer in and out of the ring and had an excellent understanding of the business, who is now credited by many stars for his role in their discovery.

Mark Henry was impressed by Jacob Fatu's WWE debut

Mark Henry has a keen eye for future megastars. The Hall of Famer has helped the company recruit many big names who have proven their mettle over the years.

In an appearance on the Busted Open Radio, Henry spoke about the arrival of Jacob Fatu to WWE. The WWE veteran noted that Fatu has all the qualities to become a major star in the company.

"It's amazing that in this era of wrestling, you can get a reaction from somebody that's never worked for a company. A lot of times, when you have a surprise, is, 'Oh, this guy's back, or this guy has been trending to be a star!' Like Jacob [Fatu] is on the indies, cream of the crop. But, a lot of times, we don't associate, as wrestling fans, the indie guy with, 'Oh, he's THE guy!'" he said.

Triple H may very well strap a rocket to Jacob Fatu’s back, especially considering the star's debuted on the WWE main roster directly instead of NXT. That could allow him to build a bigger fanbase in a short period.
