Jim Cornette Reviews A&E's Mark Henry Biography

[@reginaldshort8486]

Mark Henry ripping quarters in half and bending steel bars like pretzels and giving them to fans as autographs is incredible.

[@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku]

You forgot his appearance in Cyberpunk 2077 ...

[@RAD1111able]

​@@MariuszMroczek-dd7kuAh yes,DeShawn...

[@georgecalderon6024]

[@SeamHead33]

I highly doubt ANYONE can rip a quarter in half. You have links?

[@jameswesten2018]

All the fans talking about the hand in the comment section, but ignoring the major selling point *he can dunk a basketball* !!!!

[@badladyami]

I'm glad it finally clicked for him when they figured out how to get him to see how his anger was what could set him apart.

[@SlimSlashie]

He's about to dunk a cheeseburger lol

[@SpaceshipRocketFuel]

​@😢ybadladyami 8🎉

[@taylork7530]

His son had been signed to WWE. Hope for the best for him. Side note: Father of the Year for getting him to go to WWE instead of AEW.

[@DarkScorpionPete98]

AEW is a mess right now, so that was the right move.

[@ewauksonian]

​@@DarkScorpionPete98Agreed. To add, Mark Henry was in AEW. It's not like he had no connections in AEW. He knows what the situation is in AEW.

[@jordanhutton5787]

​@@ewauksonianBingo!

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

Don't be silly man. First of all, some people go to loads of other promotions as it is some sort of accomplishment to have been a champ in many different places. I do think that is more of a wrestler marks minset rather than a fans one, except for their fans. Some other people stay in one promotion I.e John Cena. Take Billy Gunn's kids. They will be in WWE one day no doubt. But right now they are just getting some reps in on the other side. And despite the lack of discipline or training regime over there, I am sure someone of Billy's experience is guiding them along, and they will be even more ready for NXT to become the best they can once that time comes. There isn't just one route someone has to take. Brian Pillman Jr probably got some eyes on himself even if he wasn't used well in AEW. Sometimes people need the exposure. I believe this vehemently. There are actually many talents out there who have been killing it for years (not garbage indy talent, just unknown people) who have either never been fussed about leaving their small pond, or have never gotten a call. Sometimes it just be what it is, y'know?

[@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku]

Jacob Henry looks like a young, steely Bill Cosby. Long before he put the puddin' in drinks.

[@znalniaskas]

If Mark Henry came around 10 years later, in a much weaker era, he would have been a top guy for a long time.

[@badladyami]

He would have spent far less time languishing before learning how his rage could sell him as the legit badass he was never before perceived to be.

[@quentinkaasa47]

He still would have been jobbed out to Cena. Mark would have been on the same level as Umaga.

[@KOHoxton]

​@@quentinkaasa47thats always the problem with cena for me, all his career was spent derailing upcoming superstars and ensuring they never got to that status.

[@televiper11]

Yeah, they rushed him to TV in ‘96.

[@nickcoombs7281]

2011 called. they want there monster heel back.

[@tthompson4768]

Hall of Pain Era was soooo underrated...

[@quentinkaasa47]

Nah, the word you're looking for is overlooked, which is isn't. His ECW run with Tony Atlas is when he really came into his own. That's what's overlooked.

[@gi79304]

I agree his ECW run with atlas was that could of been a real hall of pain start and build to the run of what the hall of pain became

[@MrPLLuke]

"Hall of Pain" Mark Henry was scary.

[@MariuszMroczek-dd7ku]

It's like the Predator got a silverback.

[@benjaminscott8198]

I loved D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry as a tag team. I wish they would've done more with them.

[@AGH69]

Yeah great duo. DLo with the charisma and athleticism, Mark the total badass. Shame Vince hates tag teams and split pretty much everyone up.

[@VendreadMike95]

Yes, definitely.

[@badladyami]

It was timing. Also, they sent Mark down to get in better shape.

[@edwells4769]

D-Lo and AJ Styles in TNA was my favorite tag team of all time

[@quentinkaasa47]

D'Lo and Godfather too. Even the pairing of Low Down worked and was going alright until Vince sabotaged it and stopped using D'Lo.

[@InsignificantNick]

Mark Henry talked about the hazing on the Undertaker's podcast. He talked about getting sent to Canada because he was gonna beat up Shawn Michaels and the Kliq. Owen Hart helped him a lot with not being an easy target.

[@AGH69]

Was a great guest on Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions too. Like Kurt Angle, the story outside the ring was really interesting and emotional.

[@royalty843]

Can we say Owen ended racism before Cody?

Afaic if you d*fecate in someone's food, you honestly gave no right to complain if someone laces you wih arsenic or cyanide in retaliation. Same principal. Messing wih people's food or medication isn't spur of the moment. It is literal mad stuff. This is what you ecpect from people ticking all three boxes on the Dark Triad.

[@edwells4769]

Yep, all for capital retribution for that

[@Tompeteux]

Always heard that at some point Vince got buyers remorse and treated Henry the way they did so he would quit and they could get out of however long was remaining on that 10 year contract

[@davenwatts8173]

100%

[@quentinkaasa47]

People think Vince gave him the Sexual Chocolate gimmick and put him in the storyline with Mae Young as a way of embarrassing him, even though it was Mark's idea and he enjoyed it.

[@slimwhopper]

Mark dealt with so much real hate and he still is a great man....thats great

[@bryankelloway6610]

They left out him saying he is going to kill Shawn Michael and being trained by the late Leo Burke

[@newhere2419]

because he thought Shawn was the one that hid his crutches, but he wasn't

[@herecomesdatrain]

I did like him in aew rampage when he said its time for main event. People forget he noticed bianca belair jade cargill and got daniel bryan in the door for WWE

[@darksideon]

He also brought in Baron Corbin & Braun Strowman.

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

They do not forget, they just don't know that to begin with tbh. I only found out last week.

[@mical2great]

And Samantha irvin

[@randemness2680]

Mark is always scouting. When he was here many years ago for an indy show, he put in a call for the champion at the time and got him a try out.

[@wilcee238]

Mark' Henry's son just got signed by WWE, so we should all give him a hand.

[@tomvu1470]

You mean the offspring of Mae Young & Mark Henry? "The hand"? 🙃

[@NathanSeitz]

Nah, pass. Mark took Jim’s promo joke about starving Ethiopians as if Jim said the N word with the hard R. Mark did not appreciate kayfabe and I choose not to care about Mark or anyone ever associated with him.

[@NathanSeitz]

Mark should direct his energy to people who genuinely wish harm on black people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaK2aXttYrqgaK8si=oEc1b07PbMTJ83jP

[@GregHuffman1987]

man... Just when to go read about that. thats disheartening. one of his remarks is something like "id love to talk to jim again but ive done all the apologizing im gonna do" which is confusing since he didnt seem to have apologized at all to jim unless theres more context. dude also admitted he hear another ovw wrestler say the same joke so knew jim didnt mean it in a racist way then still wanted him to apologize? wtf

[@raheazy115]

So are the fans complaining about The Rock and Nepotism upset about Henry's son now🤔🤣

[@darthsiddious7469]

Thought the hand was a Hamburger Helper reference considering the burger in Marks hand, that's how hard I've tried to forget that birthing segment....

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

I just hought it was a high five from Jim because the show was good 😢 What a time to be literate bro 🎉

[@badladyami]

When canon is so traumatizing, your brain fabricates its own lore as a coping mechanism..

[@edwells4769]

Did you know the writer of that segment and the guy who delivered the baby is also one of the co-creators of Metalocolypse?

[@iamdb1990]

the world needs more Mark Henrys, regardless of what you think of him in ring, he's just an inspirational human being

[@Timmichanga361]

No no no no no no no. Now jim, we all know that Hulk Hogan had the first guaranteed contract

[@chrissader8751]

He did in WCW 1994! 2 million for 6 months guaranteed

[@davidgoodin6271]

Mark had the first guaranteed contract WWF/E had given, WCW gave several guaranteed contracts

[@quentinkaasa47]

Marc Mero had the first guaranteed contract in the WWF.

[@bingeMAFIA]

This was one of the best A&E WWE Biographies. It also helps that Mark is a fantastic storyteller. That 10 year contract couldve buried him never being in a ring before but he rose up just like those weights.

Besides Severn and Shamrock, Mark would’ve eaten alive everyone in that locker room. Not sure if Blackman was there yet.

Whether Cornette agrees or not Miz deserves more respect. Put so many people over, even celebrities despite being a 2 time world champion, grand slam champion, which while sad, he did it for the company. Winner in Life, Good looking, even if Jim calls him Frogface. How he dealt with the locker room situation,he deserves all the appreciation….Regular listener of the podcast, obviously because I like it,but don’t agree always with Cornette.
