Mark Henry’s Influential Role And Future In AEW
In an interview with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Mark Henry elaborated on his contributions to AEW, particularly in guiding the roster. He discussed his impact, especially on the company’s larger wrestlers.
Henry explained, “My influence has been significant, especially with big talents like Will Hobbs. He is incredibly talented but needed confidence and guidance on the nuances of performing as a big man — which is something that comes with experience. It is crucial for the development of talent like Hobbs that AEW doesn’t rush the process. This outlook by Tony Khan allows our performers to grow at an organic pace, away from undue pressure.”
Henry also pointed out how he’s helping talents branch out into mainstream entertainment, mentioning Max Caster’s foray into creating rap videos for TMZ as part of that expansion.
