- Mark Henry came through for his first-ever VladTV interview, where he spoke about growing up in a small Texas town and having a family full of exceptionally large men. He went on to speak about going to the Olympics and confronting Jordan while he was there after feeling like the NBA great disrespected him. Moving along, Mark detailed getting in the WWE, becoming close friends with The Rock, and deciding to retire from wrestling. To hear more, including Mark speak about his close friendship with late actor Michael Clarke Duncan, hit the above video.
He had the hardest theme music in wrestling history... "Somebody gon' get they ass kicked/somebody gon' get they wig split"

“Beat em up beat em up break his neck break his neck”😂😂🔥
Damn Right !!!
No Bullshit
Mark Henry is mad philosophical and appreciates the life he is living. When he spoke about 3/5 of those guys the competed with are dead, his take on life was very interesting.
Yes he's an interesting person
okay and look at all the dead pro wrestlers too. way more.

@@vanguard4065true , but Mark was smart , didn’t get involved in they drugs and things the others were.

He wants to play Dark Seid
Tony Styles for real?
😂😂😂I agree
Kinda like a darker Suge Knight with that cigar
As a wrestling fan as a teenager when Mark started, I knew this guy was the man. Now watching this as a guy near 40, I have even more respect for this man. Mark Henry is truly an under rated ICON. This man has wisdom that needs to be shared with the world. Thanks for this interview. Most interesting thing I've watch while I should be working. Phenomenal stuff.
you mean near 50.. he's 47
No I mean 40, as in I am almost 40.
His finish move is top ten 4sure!
I can see why Mark Henry interview is short. He got work to do not gossip.
He a ambassador for wwe he goes all around and talk bout wwe stocks and deals etc so yea he busy as fuck
short? That was a 54:29 interview :P
@@bkohler89 vlad has interviews with rappers and “gangsters” for like 2+ hours
Compared to other guests. Yes, it's short@bkohler89
Only a 54 minute interview?
All while these garbage rappers and so called gangsters get around a 2 hour interview.
Facts right?
he might've only had an hour. those beat ass rappers don't have shit to do.
@@Tazmanian_mma Yes sir
@@BeatdownGG 😁😁😁😁😁
Good point
BaltimorePride Them rappers busy as hell. 😂😂😂😂😂
They got a shit ton of drugs to take and whippits to inhale 😂😂😂😂😂
I love this guy; shows humility, appreciative, erudite and appears kind hearted, seems like a good man.
Adds erudite to vocab 😄
Great interview.I think Mark Henry is one of the best guests that Vlad has ever had on. I hope I'm not offending anyone by saying this but I think Mark Henry is one of the smartest people that Vlad has ever interviewed(X-Raided is up there,too).
Lol
He's lying about himself not taking roids. He's a liar.
Mark is my classmate. He was always a good person. We played together we ate together. He was awesome in track and field. We didn't have a freshman team. We were all on varsity. He set a lot of records and we were so proud of him. He earned everything that he achieved. Greatness at its best.
@@goodworld8654 no he's not lying. He didn't need to take steroids. He's always been a strong muscular person and so was his brother. His brother played football. Know what you're talking about before you comment.
18mins in and this is already one of the best interviews.... This guy has given me a good deal of enlightenment 18mins
It's better than all the other stupid people that come on
Nobody:
Mark Henry: He hit me with a stick, so i threw him over the play ground I didn’t mean too i was 6
Dude was 225 in the 4th grade. How could you not get bodied by him? AND look how athletic he turned out to be. You would've got bodied anyways so just take the throw like real badass lol
@@UpNorth_Kickboxing damn 225lb in 4th grade. Be afraid be very afraid
@@gbone1812 i mean i wouldnt be afraid because i feel like thats just not ok but.... ik i would get my ass whooped so ima needa gun lol
@@UpNorth_Kickboxing Mom I can fly!
LOL WHAT AT 6 ?? LAMAOAO
I actually competed in powerlifting meets against Mark in high school at the regional and state level in Texas. Thankfully we were in different weight classes, but my high school team competed against his. During my senior year, he was a sophomore and the thing that I remember most about him was that he was the biggest and strongest 15 year old that I have ever met. He was also the nicest guy I ever met at powerlifting competitions. He always had that big smile and great personality. For years I have always told people what a great human being he is, I'm honored to have met him.
PL wasn't a high school sport in my state...are they wearing bench shirts and squat suits?
All natural too no joke. If Mark hadn't committed to wrestling fully he would've been the strongest human being to ever live
mark henry is a national treasure we need to protect him. I could listen to him all day, this man is an inspiration.
He’s a lot of fun on the radio too. He’s radio cohost on Serirus XM.
i didnt think i would enjoy this as much as i am
He need to protect us
he has the title as the strongest man in the world however he has had family members that were stronger than him and bigger than him..that's crazy.. imagine how strong they were
Yea man. This is my cousin and his side way to god damn big frfr
All his family members could've been stronger but did not compete for whatever reason eg lack of opportunities, lack of resources etc
@@inshane3 mark?
-MEN gender neutral yessir
vendogg resources for sure.
37:33 "I don't care if Mike Tyson threw a drink in my face, Mike Tyson gone' have to fight MARK HENRY that day" 😂😂😂 If that's not the strongest thing I've ever heard 😭😭😭
In the ring Mike would have all in his favor but in a flat out fight if mark get ahold of him he'll do alright
@@whatyousayaboutjerome2300 I thought the same thing! 😂 It's like putting a professional wrestler against a professional boxer in a street fight .. The boxer no longer has the edge of a controlled environment 😂 If Mark grabs him, it'll be hell trying to break lose from a grapple by him !
" look, I'm not saying I would have kicked Andre's ass, but I WAS going to get off that bus I WAS going to fight him and if I had to, I WAS going to get my ass kicked to make my point."
-Badnews Allen/Brown
The reason he mentioned Mike is because he knew he's odds of winning is questionable. But the point he was making was he gone stand behind his shit.
Personally Mark isn't just BIG. He's an athletes. Speed plus strength is POWER. he would've given Mike sum to think about.
@Iwhbyd
Don't you realize that pro wrestlers do understand grappling? Many of them did competition wrestling in college.... Believe me when I tell you, fighting a grappler is a very, very difficult thing to do!
"You will NOT refer to this black man as a primate!" And they IMMEDIATELY took it out! Lol...GO MARK HENRY!
what happened ?
@@captainkushy7829 watch the video
@@captainkushy7829 they tried to call him a silverback gorilla 🦍
Such a well spoken guy. Definitely would want to see him more as a regular
He is anything but well spoken
Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I wasn't expecting him to be this likable, articulate and humble. He's a great guy.
I know! Just shows how well he sold his persona in the ring
Why would you think anything else?
@@lg45n2 he’s black and a wrestler
@@heavy379 that first part yeah!
Mark Henry seems like one of nicest and realest dudes alive. Amazingly humble and obviously a very giving person. Just awesome
Most underrated interview EVER
Met mark Henry in 2004 in Harlem got his autograph ! Respect
I met him at WrestleMania XXVII
I met him in a nightmare once.
@@davidatkins7444 😂😂😂
Seems like a nice guy
His speech is much more impressive than most of the fake fame digging motivational speakers.
He's a cool guy. Met him a couple times at the convention is a really nice guy
That's terrible but I believe him. Three out of the five guys are deadprobably did too much drugs sad but man this is inspirational next time I see him if I remember this I'm going to tell him damn that's very inspirational man
@@tonim8669 Like a young Shaq!
Mark Henry was checking and correcting Vlad that's wuz up
cornelius morrison Exactly, 10x better since he’s black too
@Rose Flower Vlad stay focusing on the negatives of blacks more so than positives
@@Aristocratic13 this i can definitely agree with. Just like the other TH-camrs, he knows controversy brings views.
@@bakurawthesupersaiyanhair937 Yep you are right
@@Aristocratic13 and you stay focused on giving him more views.
Best part was his Uncle Chud;
6’7.
500lbs.
Never owned a pair of shoes in his life.
That’s some dirty south right there.
Thats crazy🤯
That legend in east Texas, you really don't want to tangle with a pulkwood hauler
@@t-l-taylorthis is the way
“There will be no complaints because my ass will be dead” love this guy. Had no idea who he was, saw a clip on my timeline about the rock and this guy, he’s mesmerising, so Ive end up watching the whole hour interview, I’m think two things. How the hell have I never heard of Mark Henry before now? What an intelligent, intriguing, super nice man.
WWF/E legend and hall of famer. Very well respected but no real big pushes and face moments, so he flew under the radar of the more casual or newer fans
I died when he said kids called him Fat Albert 😂😂🤣 I feel sorry for Vlad for having to hold that laugh in
Grow up lol
Not funny you a$$hole
I don't think Vlad had in trouble containing the reaction. When knew he would've got "hey hey hey'd" right outta his chair.
@@tinadonald5157 fr vlad knew he woulda got checked he not stupid
@@tinadonald5157Obuh Kaybuh 😂😂
His smile makes me smile.

Me too! I think it's because we know it's a genuine smile.

Yea
"I put a lot of girls through college": Sexual Chocolate, Mark Henry.
This was a great interview with Mark Henry, I've always respected him but I respect him so much more after getting to know him better.
lol why Mark look like the most official fire fighter u ever seen with that shirt and cigar😂😂.
🤔 This is the quickest full interview Glad has ever put out.
Sure is !! Thanks vladd
He has to mass produce in order to stay ahead of money loss from the pandemic. Hence the 40 part Boosie interview
@ORLANDO KING... the interview is hella short tho, not very many parts so he was able to put out the whole interview much sooner
Annette Michelle We innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Lmao i couldn't believe it how fast i clicked 💀💀
I didn't know he had so much personality.
I mean he's a human.. 😂
@@EssyOnYT not what he meant😑
Yeah guess he ain’t ignorant like you thought huh
@@mallymal1041 Don't be a shit head. I remember his wrestling persona being quiet and bland. I assumed that represented how he was in real life.
@@mallymal1041race-baiting is hilarious
Sexual Chocolate...only the real ones remember that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🐐
I was waiting for them to bring up his love affair with Mae Young🤣🤣🤣
Imagine if the last dance for Jordan was MH suplexing MJ on the free throw line
This guy is very likeable and has some good wisdom to boot.
Didn’t realize how real of person mark henry was until I watched this🤯🔥
Marks a big teddy 🐻 ...U can tell he's just a really good dude
No mention of Three 6 being Mark Henry's entrance music?
🎶 ✨
Even though this is short. I really appreciate it. I grew up watching this man and to see him as he is now opposed to wrestling. I Would've Never Thought I kinda Needed This. Great Interview Vlad aka Glad. I know you read these from time to time. But big respect KingS
This is dope. I haven't watched a Vlad interview in about 6 years. But I am apart of the pro-wrestling community and a big fan of the industry as well. This was great having Mark spill some of his gems. I will tune back into Vlad more if he can get more pro-wrestlers in for interviews. It shouldn't be difficult for Vlad. We have a lot of people in the pro-wrestling industry with hip-hop ties as well if Vlad needs that connection to get more wrestlers on. Especially getting the black and brown wrestlers in for interviews. There are a lot of us in the pro-wrestling industry. This was cool.
I have to say I like this guy. High ethical and moral standards. We need more ppl like him.
Remember when he used to “break” peoples legs with chairs lmao
Smartest athlete i ever heard speak! I like him more now than when i liked him when i watched wwe
What an awesome interview, never would I have ever thought he would have been this interesting, intelligent, well spoken & just all around good vibes. Definitely wouldn’t mind a second interview!
I would love to see Vlad interview him again,too!
But I do have to ask...why wouldn't you have thought that he could be interesting,intelligent,well spoken and have all around good vibes?
@@JR-ju3kj just based off the part he played in the wwe the worlds strongest man and all it just lent to more bronze than brains theory i guess
He’s definitely one of greatest in the wwe, he held the world heavy weight title for some time✊🏾, not too many black champions in the wwe.
He's a cool dude.
He also was a great champion, when I was a kid I was scared as hell of him, I always wished that someone could beat him, because he was so credibly strong
IT'S WHAT HE DO!
Mark Henry is a kind man. I'm thankful to have met him 3 years ago at "the giant" documentary. Thank you! Legend.
I could listen to Mark talk hours. Absolute class act and a great example of a man.
225 in the 4th grade he was basically a man in elementary 🙋 and I'm scared to even think of how big was his brother debo who was bigger than him smh the clumps ain't got shit on them 😩
That's a decent size grown man at that! 225 lb fourth grader is wild.
😂😂😂
@@jefflucietta6894 hell yeah it's dude's 6ft and over ain't 225.
So weight and height make you an adult....your woman saying this...
Omg 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣 had me laughing for an hour straight
Really good one glad
I haven't heard someone this successful speak so honestly in so long. My drive for success is a drive for honesty. I respect your truth and would love to meet you someday
I could listen to Mark Henry all day a down the earth dude ver humble 🙌
Mark Henry is MY HERO I want to be like him when grow up!!!
We all got alot of growing to match this guy. Damn. Nobody trying you if you big as him.
@Bulky Bouncer... when you grow up??? Lol if that's you in your profile picture, judging from your back, you already look hella grown
Annette Michelle 😂😂😂😂😂
Wide ass back 😂😂
@@BaldiB704 lmfao wide ass back, shoulders built like a linebacker, talking about "when I grow up..." 😂😂😂😂😂
My boy Mark Henry got that old ass 8732 young Jeezy shirt on lol🤣. Good interview tho salute 💯
Bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wtf is 8732 never heard of it.

I know some people that still rock Sean John and G Unit. I think Sean John is still more in style though. I still even see Truk Fit sometimes.. I still cop Joker Brand on Ebay on a regular basis.
I still wear Johnny Cupcakes
Mark Henry is the man, I loved this interview. Mark was talking about God is the reason for his success, and Vlad, the atheist, is silent lol. That was kinda funny. Finally an articulate interviewee, with many great accomplishments, and he's very wise at that. One of Vlad's best interviews to date.
I mean I am also atheist what should have vlad said, it's not that if you believe in God and I don't you're stupid and I'm smart 🙄
Mark Henry need to be in more interviews ✊🏾💯
He seems like a real cool guy. Good interview Vlad.
I love the cigar parlor setting
Mark Henry is a stand up guy. Smart guy. An honorable man. Please bring him back on
I Love This Guy Always HUMBLE..God Bless Him..Thank U For The Entertainment u Have Provided 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I'm sorry but when he said the kids called him superblacky and fat albert I started laughing!
Sad that you found that funny
so many focusing on his size...but this is a SMART guy, for sure! Very intelligent human being!
“ I beat a kid up “ 220 LBS IN THE 4th GRADE OF COURSE YOU DID 😂😂
🤣🤣
Grown ass man in the 4th grade
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn, it has to be said that Mark Henry is one of the most down to earth athletes\celebrities of modern times. This interview was a gem to watch
Would this be considered VladTV's first wrestling Shoot interview?
Yeah lol he needs to get Cena next
He also did new jack a couple months back
I knew mark henry when i was a kid and he lived in harlem. This was when he supposedly lifted a car on wwe. The coolest and biggest and nicest man i ever met, brings tears to my eyes thinking about how down to earth he was
That shirt's got Mark Henry looking like the big boss cop from Final Fight.
I ran into mark while in an airport and he offered his seat to my nephew. He politely declined but I’ll never forget what a class act and true gentleman Mark is
So happy to see my cousin getting a bald interview. Much love and continue being an amazing person. 🤟🏿
Huh? Meaning he cut his hair?
He seems like one of the nicest guys ever. Sure would like to meet him. And it’s crazy, I couldn’t help but hear Charles Barkley at times when speaks. They sound so alike
Such a well-spoken dude, and he’s humble as a walk in the park
This brother is so Smart , Bossed Up and Elegant. His story is really compelling... it just sounds like Truth. Much respect. I never would have known this about him if it wasn’t for this interview. Good job Vlad.
I smoke an occasional cig-are 😂. This dude great
Lol yes the way he said it lol 17:11
What a great, humble guy. Love to see this, I've never known this side of his personality.
This is what I call a gentle giant of a man a stronger beyond imagination and a peaceful spirit and soul. God continue to bless this man and gods love and protection always be with them and his own family. I loved watching brotha man wrestle. Lots of Love and respect to brotha mark Henry.
If you call wwe “fake” that’s when you know the entire concept of the business just went over your head. It’s stunt performers people!
I still look at it as fake...due to the ‘storylines’ during TV Wrestling Season and that the punches and kicks weren’t really legit. I knew for a fact that the stunts are real...but the Wrestling ENTERTAINMENT is most definitely more scripted nowadays
@@northphillymorningstar7385 IT'S STAGED NOT FAKE
PAPITOFLOW78 right. Thanks for the correction
MorningStar 215 bruh fake as in what aspect tho?? As in fake fighting??? Because it’s never presented as real fighting
Wrestling is choreograph it doesn't mean it's fake any mishap can be career ending
“I kinda rubbed his face in the ground” 👀 ion think that’s a metaphor 😭😭😭😭
My man mark henry.....one of my favorite wrestlers and overall a good dude 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Man Vlad had this man on and didn’t ask him about the slam dunk he did at the celebrity basketball game.. that shit was classic
My mother used to say if your health is no good you don't have anything
I would listen to this dude talk all day. Really appreciate this interview. Really entertained by MH, and I'm not even a fan of wrestling.
Me too...very impressed with Mark Henry's outlook on life and people...
This dude is spitting knowledge on all kinds of levels high integrity I like people like that against all odds stay true.
I could sit and just listening to Mark tell life stories for days!
I remember watching Mark in a high school powerlifting meet he was so extraordinary i was so amazed at him my head coach got mad at me for being a fan it was uspa in Dallas Texas 1992 god bless you Mark Henry i new i was looking at a Legend when we was in high school
My grandma put me on wrestling too ❤️... recorded all the shows 90s and early 2000s were a good time
Mark Henry is one of my favorite wrestlers after this interview. The strongest and the realest man
He sounds way smarter then wwe wrestlers in todays rooster or the past guys like Kamala Uganda Giant or even Ahmad Johnson who just hype
Mark Henry is a legend and a gentle Giant. Much respect!! Can't say the same about this interviewer with his dum racist "this" racist "that" questions.
He seems like such a nice and legit good dude.
Wow, what a wonderful human being. Loved everything I heard him say, especially who he gave all the credit to.
Mark Henry looks like a mini shaq
He is shorter, but he is more bulky than Shaquille O'Neal
😭😂😂😂
@@deezy81 Actually way heavier and stronger than Shaq...
Had the pleasure meeting Mark at a gym in Harlem. Great attitude. Love the interview.
He is one cool ass dude! Just seems like a down to earth, intelligent, and all over good person.
I could listen to this man speak for ages.
seems like a great guy i can tell he was raised with strong morals like my self resembles a little bit like another brotha i love to meet nastiest running back ever earl campbell i like to be buddys with mark & earl both from texas mcmahon u shoulda done better with mark give him titles more in spotlight💰💰💰interview should be longer also i love how he puffs on the zigaaaar then looks at the smoke and zigaaaaar legendary im suprised he didnt make any movies or his friend dwayne johnson opened some doors for him love meet mark stay blessed
That Michael Jordan story is epic.
I'm waiting for the Netflix docuseries on The Life of Mark Henry Strongest Man in the World
He handled and dominated this conversation. Vlad seemed a little put off with the answers lol. But it was beautifully done.
Well Mark had me believing in him. That being said, he should have been the world champ. In fact I didn't like wrestling until I saw Marks character.
Mark had the best performance of all time. Retirement speech. Lol.
