Mark Henry

Mark Henry has revealed that he seriously considered retiring from WWE at a point but Vince McMahon guilt-tripped him to not retire so soon. He was talking to Heavy in an interview and shed light on what happened back then that got him back in the ring.

"Man, you’re too young. You haven’t even starting giving back to the business yet.' And he implored – and he guilt-tripped the s**t out of me [laughs]…I didn’t want to leave the business worse than I found it, I wanted to leave the business to be better when I left. And I said you know what? I’m doing my thing but I can do more…I was like if we’re going to do it, let’s do it in a big way. And he was able to say man what are you thinking? It was only just me and him. Never told anybody."

Henry's fake retirement segment was one of the best ever in the history of the company. The fans were caught off guard when the World's Strongest Man turned heel and attacked John Cena.
