Mark Henry is set to make his in-ring return and he’s doing it in a huge way….or maybe, not so huge way. Bobby Lashley ‘Buried’ By Top Smackdown Star.
During a recent appearance on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast, The World’s Strongest Man, Mark Henry said that he had taken off 80 pounds and felt lighter and better than ever.
Mark Henry’s age currently sits at 49 years old, and he stated that he is waiting to turn 50 before he re-enters the ring. Mark Henry feels like he didn’t get a proper tribute match in front of the fans in which he got to put over up-and-coming talent. He wants to experience that moment, and the veteran is willing to put in the extra gym hours to do so.
Henry stated the following: “I figure that I’m going to wait until I’m 50, so the expectation is lower. At 50, they don’t expect me to go out there and have a 20 minute, five-star match, just to be honest (Henry laughs). I’m telling you that right now. Listen, I’m going to go out there in really good shape. I’m already 80 pounds lighter than I was when I had my last match. I’m going to be in really good shape. It’s going to take a good man to beat me, but it might not take him long.”
The former world heavyweight champion has since been training tirelessly for his return, and all the effort has visibly been dishing him the desired results.
Henry was last seen on WWE TV during the RAW Legends Night special in a backstage segment featuring Randy Orton.
