Mark Henry recently appeared as a guest on Booker T’s “Hall Of Fame” podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, “The World’s Strongest Man” spoke to the two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend and WWE NXT commentator about how much he enjoys working with Powerhouse Hobbs and Wardlow in AEW.
“Will Hobbs, number one,” Henry said when asked about talent he enjoys working with in AEW. “You tell them to do something once and he does it. Booker, how mad does it make you as a mentor and a coach, you tell somebody to do something [and] they don’t do it? You tell them to do it and they don’t do it. You tell them again and they don’t do it. And then you ask them, ‘Hey, why didn’t you do what I asked you to do?’ And they go, ‘oh man, I forgot. I didn’t.’ You know what? I didn’t even think about it. I heard all the excuses. We don’t have that. Yeah, he implemented it immediately. And he is an open book to wanting to be successful. And he takes advice from people who went there and walked that walk before. And man, I can’t wait for him to really, really explain why he’s doing what he’s doing.”
Henry continued, “But Wardlow, Wardlow. Listen, he got it, man. He wants to be it. But it’s about opportunity.”
“The World’s Strongest Man” also spoke about how much potential he sees in “Timeless” Toni Storm.
“And on the women’s side — she already was an established talent, Toni Storm realizes that it’s not about how you look,” he said. “It’s not about, you know, who you’re connected with. It’s about how you make people feel. And now she is broke. As good as she was. You look at Toni Storm right now. She’s killing it. She got the attention of the wrestling world because of her personality and the fact that she was doing something different that felt like her. And Booker, you know the comfortability in who you are and what you’re what you want to portray means all the world to you. And she killed it. She killed it.”
