WWE’s “World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry is not just known for showing off his physical prowess within the squared circle but also for his fiery temperament behind the scenes. This aspect of Henry was a concern among his peers in the wrestling world.
During a recent segment of his podcast “Six Feet Under with Mark Calaway,” The Undertaker shared some insider stories. He and fellow wrestling star Owen Hart, both legends in their own right, were instrumental in pacifying Mark Henry’s anger, thereby shielding their colleagues from potential confrontations.
“I’d be at home and my phone would ring, and it would be at night, and it would be Mark. I bet I’ve got 15 calls through the years with him ready to kill somebody, and somewhere way, way up the totem pole, and I’m like, ‘Mark, I understand, but you just take a deep breath.’”
The Undertaker mentioned an incident in 2011 when Vince McMahon left Mark Henry alone in the ring as a supposed prank, which backfired when Henry felt slighted and considered resignation. This incident became the genesis of Henry’s “Hall of Pain” gimmick and paved the way for his World Heavyweight Championship victory.
The Undertaker stopped short of sharing details but alluded to numerous instances where he and Hart averted turmoil by managing Henry’s frustrations. Post-retirement, both The Undertaker and Mark Henry have taken on roles outside of active competition to continue influencing the wrestling world.
