Mark Henry comments on his appearance at MLW Battle Riot VI.
At MLW Battle Riot VI, WWE Hall of Famers Mark Henry and Teddy Long made surprise appearances. They represented the Bomaye Elders as they presided over the Ritual Combat match between Alex Kane and AJ Francis.
In an interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Mark Henry was asked to comment on how his appearance at MLW Battle Riot VI came together.
“I’ve been friends with Court [Bauer] and Alex Greenfield forever, and sometimes, you have relationships with people. It’s not the same as being friends with people. I know those guys. They were friends of mine, and when you’re a friend of somebody, you don’t have to talk to them every day to still have that respect and admiration for them, and that’s what it is, especially Alex, man. We just get each other, and the people that I have those relationships with in wrestling, if they call me and say, even if it’s last-minute, and they call me and say, ‘Hey, would you be willing to do this?’ 'Alright, well, let’s do it. I just want to come see you.' So that’s what it ended up being. Being able to see the product, I’ve watched it online, but to be able to see the product in person and meet a lot of the talent, which a lot of them I already knew, and you start to see some of your friends’ kids be in the business, it just don’t get better than that, and I had that over at MLW," Henry said.
Greenfield previously worked as the head writer of WWE SmackDown before he joined MLW.
Fightful Select recently reported that Henry is expected to appear for MLW again in the future.
During the interview, Henry discussed AJ Styles' fake retirement on the May 31 episode of WWE SmackDown. Check out his comments here.
