A wrestling veteran and former AEW personality recently shared some shockingly amusing anecdotes of being pranked during his time in WWE. The individual in question left the Tony Khan-led company earlier this year.
Fans and peers revere Mark Henry as a legend of the pro wrestling industry. Best-known for his long tenure in WWE, The World's Strongest Man was last seen in the ring in 2018, transitioning into backstage roles after the seeming conclusion of his in-ring career.
On a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Henry recalled his time in the sports entertainment juggernaut and being pranked by his locker-room peers on two different occasions. In the first instance, the former World Heavyweight Champion's shower shoes had been superglued to the floor.

You know I wear a size 16 shoe—it’s hard as h*** to find a size 16 shoe. One of them ba*ds, I don’t know who, superglued my d** shower shoes to the floor. They tried to put solvent underneath it and it wouldn’t come off. They finally had to use a razor and cut it all up so we wouldn’t disrespect the building," Henry said.

The second rib involved an injured Henry's crutches being hidden at a WWE event, rendering him unable to use the restroom.
"I remember my crutches getting hid. How do you think my headspace was when my crutches went missing and I’m trying not to sell it? They said, ‘Man, don’t sell it, just watch the show.’ I’m sitting at the monitor for two hours—it’s a three-hour show—and I’ve gotta go pee. I have a cast up to my thigh, I can’t move, and I’m like, ‘Listen man, I gotta go to the bathroom or somebody get me a garbage can and I’ll pee right here.’" [H/T - ITRWrestling]
The 53-year-old veteran had a three-year stint in AEW as an announcer, analyst, coach, and backstage executive, which ended earlier in 2024.
WWE veteran Mark Henry on AEW's utilization of a top star
Despite having made his AEW exit, Mark Henry continues to provide feedback on the Jacksonville-based company's product, recently critiquing the promotion's utilization of current Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada as of late.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Henry stated:
"[Kazuchika Okada] was one of the best wrestlers in the world, top 5, and now you have him delegated to saying 'B****' to pop the crowd. Let him go and work, man. That dude is amazing... [H/T: WrestlingInc]
