In case you didn't know...

Mark Henry has been out of action for quite a while and has basically entered semi-retirement. Beginning in 2017, he transitioned to a backstage producers role for the WWE. He would make a cameo appearance for the 25th Anniversary of Monday Night RAW, in January 2018.

Following this, Henry would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Henry is now a backstage mentoring, where he teaches the younger talent how to work on their attitude in and out of the ring, along with general locker room respect and etiquette.

The heart of the matter

Mark Henry discussed how he came very close to literately killing Shawn Michaels over a bad prank involving a pair of crutches. Here is a brief synopsis of what had occurred between HBK and Mark Henry. (H/T: 411Mania)

“Well, it took me getting banished to Canada, because I threatened to kill Shawn Michaels. Like, they hid my crutches when I broke my ankle, and I just was like, ‘Okay this is it. Like, It’s over. I don’t want to do this.’ Aw, man, so I was like, ‘Man, you 180 pounds, man. I’d kill you man. It’d be unfair for me to whip you.’ And he was like ‘You threatening me?’ I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s really a threat. I’m just telling you like it is. Y’all need to leave me alone."
