Henry further stated that there were never plans for him to wrestle in AEW.

The first episode of Huge Pop with Donnie DaSilva and Jimmy Korderas featured WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry. During their chat, Henry delved into the modern psychology of wrestling. Giving his opinion, he said that if he had a match with former AEW World Champion MJF, it would be the best match anyone has seen in 2024.

They watch a movie like Mission Impossible. Oh my God, they can’t get out of that. Oh! Oh! I get it. That doesn’t happen in wrestling anymore. So, let me just face a guy my size and we can do a lot of things to each other, none of it works and then all of a sudden, ooouuu, I slip and fall and land on top of him and I win. It’s not a compelling story. If I faced MJF, it would be the best fight anybody’s seen this year. Because I would make sure he looked like a million dollars, because my goal is to make him look like a million dollars, and then I’ll ask him in return, hey, I know how to look like that. But we have to do this and that, and it’s not your job to lift me up or shove me and run. Now you can dropkick me in the back and run me into the post. But if I weigh 400 pounds, what does that look like? You grab me and run me into the post? The psychology and understanding of what to do is no longer there.

On the subject of the ring, Henry spent the last three years of his career in a behind-the-scenes role with All Elite Wrestling. He said there were never any talks of him wrestling for the company.

No (there were no talks of me competing for AEW). I’m an old, beat up man. I don’t want anyone kicking my ass.

AEW is slowly approaching its next pay-per-view, All Out, which will take place on September 7th in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

There are currently six fights announced for the show, four of which are championship fights.
