After 15 long years within the wrestling business, Mark Henry finally captured the WWE World Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Randy Orton at Night Of Champions 2011. Unfortunately, Henry’s reign would come to an end just three months later, and he would never win the World Heavyweight Championship again for the remainder of his WWE profession. Many believed that “The World’s Strongest Man” was set to defeat John Cena to turn into champion after turning heel in his infamous fake retirement speech. Nonetheless, in accordance with Henry in a recent interview with “Monopoly Events,” his ongoing injury problems prevented him from becoming a multiple time world champion.
“I used to be blessed. I had two other opportunities to be world champion and I got hurt and it was just frustrating to be headed towards WrestleMania and winning the belt, after which rattling, I got to have shoulder surgery, or I got to go have surgery on my knee. It sucked, but this time it was awesome and I know plenty of y’all was probably mad after the retirement speech with John Cena, that I went into that next six months after which I retired, and I didn’t win the title. Everybody thought ‘man it is best to have won, the WWE screwed you,’ no they didn’t. I’m the one which retired, that basically quit because my body was so beat up that I might not be a fantastic champion. If you champion, you bought to fight everybody.”
Henry reiterated that his body was too damaged to be able to compete frequently and felt it was the suitable time step away from the industry, but expressed that he’s enjoyed retirement and the projects he’s worked on each related to and outdoors of wrestling.
