Mark Henry, a legendary figure in the world of professional wrestling, recently opened up about his departure from WWE after nearly 25 years with the company. In an interview on the "Insight" podcast, the former WWE Superstar revealed that his desire to transition into a behind-the-scenes role ultimately led to his exit.
Expressing his interest in a position within the office, Henry explained that he no longer wished to continue wrestling but was met with limited opportunities. WWE, according to Henry, did not believe he had enough experience to assume a more significant role in the corporate or executive side of the business.
"While I didn't want to wrestle anymore, I wanted a position in the office from a business standpoint, but they wouldn't hire me," shared Henry. "I lacked experience in the corporate and executive side, and unfortunately, I wasn't given the opportunity to prove myself."
