During a recent edition of the Busted Open podcast, WWE legend Mark Henry said the second half of The Rock's promo made him uncomfortable because it confused him.

"I'm still trying to unpack the first clip, but the second clip made me really uncomfortable. It almost seemed like, 'I want you.' But it wasn't 'I want you,' it was 'I want your soul.' And how do you ask a human being for their soul? How do you collect on a human soul? Those two are my two questions."
