In an interview with Philly.com, Mark Henry revealed that he plans on retiring after Wrestlemania 32. Here are highlights:
On when he will retire:
“I don’t know how I let Vince [McMahon] convince me into signing
another contract back in 2013. He did a bit of magic. He’s got that
magic where you just go in the office and he’ll talk you into it. I
won’t be signing any more contracts …I’m 100 percent sure (this is my
final contract). I’m leading toward WrestleMania and
I’ll have a little time after that, but that’s going to be it for me.”
On what he wants to do when he’s done:
“I’m an elder statesman. This is a young guy business and I’m 100
percent for it. I love the marketing process. I love the international
marketing. I love the talent development, but those are all things I’ll
work with the company on to make sure that our business continues to
thrive, but there’s a bunch of other stuff that I plan on doing.”
On how long he’s been with the company: “The Undertaker
and I are the only two guys that have been with the company
consecutively for almost 20 years or more. Being with the company 19
years, and when it’s all said and done, I’ll have a 20-year career here,
which is unparalleled other
than The Undertaker. I’m proud of the fact that I’ve been able to last
this long and it’s not just attributed to me being a talent. It’s me
being a businessman, me being a teacher, me being a guy that can command
the respect of other men in the locker room. They look up to me. They
know that when I’m done I’ll be on the political side of things and
helping them more. It’s really impressive to myself as well, but I don’t
pat myself on the back too much about it. It’s what I expect out of
myself.”
