Mark Henry Talks Reaction To The Rock Backstage, Dream Matches, Retirement, Another Title Run

Mark Henry was recently interviewed by Power 92.3 in Little Rock, Arkansas to promote last night's WWE SmackDown taping. You can watch the appearance above, here are some highlights:

How stars are reacting to The Rock backstage, and if they are "amped" with his return: "Rock is a great talent, but nobody's taking pictures and asking for autographs. He's a wonderful talent, he's one of us, we respect him [and] he respects what we do. We just go about it and try to take advantage of the situation. He's one of those that's recognizable in many realms, and we appreciate him for coming back and still loving what we do and doing what he calls home."

Retirement: "When I retire there's a lot of stuff I'm gonna do. [Right now] It's all about wrestling, it's all about performing, doing what I do best. [It's about] extending my legacy and making it to when I look back I can't say I didn't do enough, I didn't put in my due diligence... I'm enjoying it and reaping the benefits from it as well, but there's gonna come a time when the wheels on the bus are gonna stop rolling."

Elimination Chamber and if there's another title run in his future: "I see one. I don't think that there's any question. No guy in there [Elimination Chamber] is gonna beat me. That's just the way it is."

His dream match: "I would have loved to have faced Andre The Giant or Hulk Hogan. Maybe Ernie Ladd... Gorgeous George. It's a few guys that I go back and I look at their legacies and they never faced nobody like me. It's not only a challenge for them, but it's a challenge for me. I would have to put aside that I idolized them and do what I have to do."
