The World’s Strongest Man and former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry recently spoke with Muscle Man Malcolm for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling. During the discussion, Henry shared his thoughts on WWE creating the World Heavyweight Championship:
“I really would rather there be one champion and that champion work both shows, but I know television. Fox wants their own champion and so does USA. It’s about the dollar at the end of the day.”
His feelings when he won the world title:
“I’ve felt validation. I felt like I put in a lot of work that people didn’t get to see. An opportunity presented itself that my Q rating in wrestling was as high as all of the top three or four stars, and then all stars aligned and it happened, and it just validated the fact that I am who I said I was.”
His thoughts on who will take advantage to elevate themselves on Collision:
“Will Hobbs. He’s hungry. He wants it. He wants to be a champion. I’ll put that past talent. I’ll put that past who’s got the most experience. When you really want it, you can’t be denied.”
