On a recent edition of the “A to Z Podcast,” Mark Henry discussed WWE’s decision to put him in the winner’s circle with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2011.
Henry noted that the choices he made throughout his career won over the fans to such an extent that WWE felt compelled to grant him the WWE World Heavyweight Title.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his position with the fanbase that led to the decision: “The whole point of me winning was based off like a whole career of not politicking to be the guy. It got to the point to where every time I lost, the crowd would say, ‘Bullshit, no that ain’t right,’ and then they ended up having to do the right thing. My career forced them to do the right thing.”
On the summary of his conversation with Vince McMahon before his winning match: “Well, I guess, since the crowd turns on us every time you lose, I guess you’re going over tonight.”
