When it comes to the big players in the wrestling world, I believe that many wrestling fans first think of not the big show brother, not the giant Andrey, not the giant Cary, but the "strongest man in the world" Mark Henry. A legendary superstar in wrestling, Mark Henry chose to retire in 2017 and was inducted into the Wwe Hall of Fame in 2018.
Although he has withdrawn from the ring, Mark Henry has always planned to return to the game. In a recent interview, Mark Henry said he hoped to get back to WWE and put a perfect end to his career.
Today, another wrestling legend, Booker T, while hosting his Hall of Fame Podcast, invited Mark Henry, who spoke again about his vision of returning to the ring that night, saying that many wrestlers had given him confidence. Mark Henry said:
"There are a lot of kids now who have never watched me wrestle, just through video. They often leave me messages on social media hoping I can return to the ring again for a match. Even though I've said I'm not going back, I admit I lied and I hope to play another game for these kids. ”
Indeed, more and more wrestlers who have announced their retirement are returning to the ring to compete, which has become a common occurrence in the wrestling world in the eyes of many wrestling fans. Although most of the legends did not perform well after returning, there were also players like Sting who gave us wonderful games...
It is worth mentioning that Mark Henry also bluntly said that his current state is even better than his state when he retired in 2017, and he even lost a full 80 pounds for this, which is 72 pounds. Mark Henry admits:
"There are a lot of people who care if I can still play a good game, and if you want me to play a five-star game, I can tell you I definitely can't do it. But what I can tell you is that I'm in even better shape now than I was when I retired in 2017, and I've lost 80 pounds; I don't know if I can beat the young players today, but I'm sure they won't beat me anytime soon. ”
The weight of 72 pounds has been lost, which may make Mark Henry's figure change a lot; according to the photos that Mark Henry has previously released, his beard is gray and his figure is indeed seriously shrunk, which also makes many wrestlers sigh: Is this still the "strongest man in the world" in our impression?
But there are also attentive wrestlers who noticed that in the first episode of this year's raw show, "Night of Legends," Mark Henry was on the show that night and riding something resembling a bicycle. Many wrestlers are also very worried about whether Mark Henry's legs are not in good condition, and it may not be a good choice to return to the ring at this time...
For Mark Henry, WWE isn't his only option; due to the addition of Big Brother, there are also many wrestling fans who are looking forward to seeing him join the Aew Wrestling League. Perhaps in the near future, we will see Mark Henry's retirement battle.
