WWE Hall of Famer and AEW Star Mark Henry recently appeared on the Attitude Era podcast to talk about a variety of topics such as the reason he left WWE after he retired from in-ring competition and went to AEW.
Mark Henry said:
“I never went back and forth. I left [WWE] after I retired. I wanted to be more on the executive side, they wouldn’t hire me on the executive side. I didn’t have enough experience, the technical education, and going to AEW proved that I knew what I was doing.”
Mark Henry also talked about how he was helping other people in the WWE with their jobs.
Mark Henry said:
“I was helping other people at WWE with their jobs. People were like, ‘Hey, man, can you help me with this?’ I was always helping. When it came to scouting, I could see something and go, ‘That’s not right. Fix that, fix that,’ and then it was good.”
