Mark Henry Reveals Why he Joined AEW

“My deal was up,” Henry said. “This is not something that was recent. I can go back to five months? Six months? I wanted a position in the office and I wanted everything that comes with it.

And I talked to Vince himself. And he said ‘write it up. You’re somebody that I’ll hear from, I’ll listen to.’ And I was told there was a lot of cleaning house and there was a lot of cuts that were happening.

There was a lot to come. “I’ve seen hundreds of people in the company go. I still felt like ‘well, knowing this, I feel valuable enough that I’m not going anywhere. So that’s cool.’ But when you’re deal comes up, and the rights, the legality part of it comes up to where you’re going to go next and what you’re going to do, I felt like I wanted to do more.

I always wanted to do more. You know me, I’m a busybody. If I’m not doing what I know I can do, especially if I feel I can do it better than somebody else. If I can’t get that opportunity, I have to start looking for that somewhere else.

However, he didn’t have a good promo cutting ability and did not move very fast in the ring. Therefore, he did not receive many pushes in WWE.
