Mark Henry Retirement Update
In a recent interview with Philly.com Mark Hnery discussed retirement and the desire to help out backstage:
“I don’t know how I let Vince [McMahon] convince me into signing another contract back in 2013,” Henry admitted. “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 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.”
