Mark Henry comments on not getting an in-ring swan song.
Mark Henry is a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion and US Olympian. His WWE career had many ups and downs but by the end of it, he had earned his spot as one of the top stars in wrestling.
Usually, when the top stars in wrestling retire, they get to have a swan song in the squared circle. Mark Henry was open to matches with the likes of Gunther but ultimately, nothing came to fruition.
In a new interview with Chris Van Vliet for the Insight podcast, Henry explained that his body just couldn't take any more damage and ultimately changed his plan.
“Yeah, my body said, 'Man, f*ck your plan!' My back gave out. It just never allowed me [to compete] and I can probably have surgery. I keep putting it off because I just want to keep moving around. But eventually, I’m gonna have to just get it fixed.”
Mark Henry's last match took place in Saudi Arabia in 2018. He was a part of the 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble Match.
Mark Henry recently departed AEW but appeared in MLW at MLW Battle RIOT VI. Learn more about that appearance here.
