Paul Wight was recently on Charlie Marlow & 590 THE FAN KFNS Radio St. Louis to promote Friday’s AEW Rampage.
During it, Wight gave praise to Mark Henry, who also had a successful run with WWE and make the jump to AEW late in their careers.
“I love Mark Henry. He’s my brother from another mother,” Wight expressed. “So I think, in all of wrestling, Mark Henry is probably my best friend. So to embarrass Mark Henry, there’s too many stories, but I won’t tell tales out of school. But I will say this one, I came into the locker room one time, and he was kind of hunched over and I thought he was upset and crying. So I put my bag down and sat down next to him, and I put my arm around him. I said, ‘Are you alright,’ because I was worried something happened to him or kids or something.
“Mark sits there, and he goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I’ve been trying to tear this quarter for about 30 minutes and all I can do is bend it.’ He had bet a quarter with his fingers, and I just patted him on the back and said, ‘Okay, man, glad you’re okay,’ but that’s just one of those things where I’ve never seen a human being bend a quarter with their fingers, and he did, but he was upset because he couldn’t tear it. So that’s my best friend.”
Wight also talked about wanting to do a cooking show with Henry:
“He can cook his ass off. I’m telling you right now, he’s a hell of a cook. People may not know that. He’s a hell of a cook. I’m trying to get his ass into doing a cooking show with me. So, we’ll see.”
