Mark Henry was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda WrestleBinge and he gave his thoughts on several current wrestling topics.
Sting recently announced that he will be retiring at AEW Revolution in 2024. The date has not been announced but it's believed to be late February or early March. Henry gave his thoughts on Sting calling it a career: "I'm glad that he's retiring because he'll get a chance to look at his career now in his totality and be a fan of himself. I think that it's hard for a wrestler to really appreciate their career while he's still doing it and I think he deserves to be able to look at it and go, wow, I was pretty damn good. He was really damn good."
Henry names his Mt. Rushmore where he included names like Ric Flair and Stone Cold Steve Austin. He said, "I got Ric Flair in the first spot. Undertaker in the second spot. Andre in the middle in the third spot. It's a toss-up. It's really a toss-up, Steve Austin and The Rock. You can flip a coin because of how much money they made, how many people they drew, and how many main events they had during that time. I may put Steve Austin in there because of more longevity, but it's a toss up."
On who would be in the fifth and sixth spot, Henry said, "If there was a fifth or sixth spot, then you pretty easily can put whichever one didn't make it in the four, and then you can throw, like well, I can't say throw it in there, but it will be hard pressed not to put Bret Hart in there.”
If he feels Bret Hart was the best there ever was, Henry said, "Bret was, in my opinion, and it's just my opinion, the best wrestler there ever was.”
Henry had good things to say about John Cena but he slotted Cena below Bret. "John Cena is great. John Cena is great twice all during the week, but for all month, I'm going to pick Bret Hart." If you'd like to check out the full interview, check out the video below.
