Ladies and gentlemen, this is Davion Bussey here at WrestleShow, New Jersey
0:06
And I'm here with the world's strongest man, Mark Henry. What's going on, man? How you doing, brother
0:12
I'm all right, I'm all right. Sanitized, sanitized. Sanitized. Yo, it's an honor, it's a privilege to have you here so we can interview you
0:23
What was it like being a wrestler and doing the things you do as body lifting
0:28
and then transitioning into being a wrestler? Well, lifting bodies and lifting barbells is completely different
0:36
Yeah. And I was able to transition pretty well. I've been a world champion in three different sports
0:44
They have nothing to do with each other. All of it was just a lot of work, you know
0:48
and not being satisfied with one thing and trying to uplift yourself in the best way you can
0:55
So I was able to do that. Nice. and how does it feel to transition from wrestling to commentary
1:03
You know what, man? Like, I never had any dreams or aspirations of doing commentary
1:08
I did it because I was asked to, and it was fun
1:14
and I tried to find myself, I tried to make it funny, have fun
1:18
Jerry Lawler has kind of been an inspiration in that kind of sense
1:24
So, you know, I just did my best. some people liked it, some people didn't
1:29
I appreciate it I appreciate it so I'm going to also bring up
1:36
family because you have your sons wrestling daughter too wow so how is that how is that the Ross Jurgis family you have your sons and your daughter wrestling You know what They wrestle amateur
1:55
The professional wrestling, it may come in the future, but the foundation of wrestling is the amateur sport
2:03
Yeah. And, you know, doing Greco and freestyle, they both love it
2:10
And my son will be at Oklahoma University. in June, and hopefully
2:18
we'll see him in the pro game in the next four years. Wow, I can't
2:22
wait. Really can't wait. And I know you have a product that's out called Remarkable
2:28
Tell us more about... Well, it's more of a brand. Like, you know, like we have
2:32
product shirts and koozies and sweatshirts and all that stuff. You can go to bmarkhenry.com
2:41
access the store and get all that stuff. But the brand is really about
2:47
finding athletes that I look at as being remarkable but they just don't have exposure
2:54
Right. You know, there's a lot of people that, they also resale. But if nobody
2:59
don't know who you are, there's not a venue for people to see you, then
3:04
it's a gun without bullets. Yo, I like that ogy. That's a really
3:09
good ogy. So I'm trying to give people a platform for them to have eyeballs on them
3:17
And, you know, I'm gonna get my beak wet. I gotta, you know, subsidize the income a little bit
3:26
but it's a small fraction of what I'm doing for them. Nice
3:31
And one last question If you ever decide to get out of retirement who would you want to wrestle It could be for any brand from AEW to WWE
3:47
Who is your ideal opponent in a match like that? You know what, I really like MJF
3:56
he's one that can grab a microphone and maybe go toe to toe with me
4:05
and he's somebody that his skills are based around storytelling and I'm a storyteller
4:15
I don't if I wanted to drag people I could just drag people
4:19
and make them do a bunch of them high spots but that's not how I work
4:24
You know, I'm an intimidator. I want people to be like the horror movie
4:31
I want them to be breathing heavy, thinking that something bad is about to happen
4:37
You want to put that fear in the eyes. Right. So that's the story that Taylor made for somebody like him
4:46
The WWE has about five or six guys that it would be so easy to pick one of them out
4:54
You know, but I think that the real story is who would match up styles with me the most
5:03
And, you know, I see a young guy like Ron Breaker, and I know what I can do with him
5:16
Wow. You know I know that he would come away from a match with me ready to go on forward and wrestle other people and be in a championship victory He spitting some jokes He spitting a lot of wrestlers out there
5:33
But at the same time, check out his remarkable. Check out the remarkable brand
5:42
I mean, it's vmarkhenry.com. You know, it's like the Mark Henry show is going to air on there
5:51
also food drinks, food show. So it's just a lot of stuff that's going to be going on
6:00
You are cooking? You are chef? Oh yeah, 100%. What's your favorite
6:04
dish to me? My favorite dish? Yeah. I like French and Cajun cooking
6:13
Gumbo, jambalas, Spanish paella, fritos this guy could grow down in the kitchen man
6:27
I can get it man I can get it it's what I love
6:31
I grew up in the south so you know soul food, country cuisine
6:37
home cooking whatever you want to call it man it is what it is
6:43
