4 Current WWE Superstars who had real backstage altercations with Vince McMahon

#3. Mark Henry

Now we know that Mark Henry isn’t an active competitor anymore but he is still employed by WWE as a producer. In any case, this is too good a story to not mention.

Ask any WWE superstar and they would tell you how big of a prankster Vince McMahon is. He is probably the nastiest of them all, so much so, that McMahon once orchestrated a prank on the World’s Strongest Man.

The episode of SmackDown in 2011 was advertised to have a dark match featuring Randy Orton and Christian for the World Heavyweight title. WWE changed it up instead and sent out Mark Henry to the ring.

Henry was reportedly scheduled to face Sin Cara but what followed was a fast one being pulled on the WWE Hall of Famer at the expense of the fans in attendance. Henry waited in the ring for his opponent but no one came. He grew frustrated and began a promo, but WWE kept cutting him off by killing the microphone.

For the next twenty minutes, WWE played the entrance theme songs of various superstars but no one emerged out of the curtains. Mr. McMahon’s music was the final theme to play and by this time, Henry was fuming. He left the ring and made his way backstage in a fit of rage. The fans may not have been happy for not getting a promised dark match but Henry’s anger was the combined total of all the fans at the Wells Fargo Arena that night.

He supposedly destroyed some equipment backstage and even threatened to quit. McMahon, who directed the whole prank through a phone call, had to later calm Henry down.
