We are here with the one and only world's strongest man, Mark Henry.
How are you doing? How are you enjoying the ESPY's? MARK HENRY: I'm doing great, man.
BILL: It's a little hot out here. MARK HENRY: It's hot as fish grease out here.
That's hot.
Under this coat, it's like bubbles, like rolling boil.
You're telling me, man. I'm right there with you.
MARK HENRY: Armpit's a soup. BILL: That's good.
Put some cabbage, some celery in there, man, makes a good vegetable dish.
Mark, I gotta ask first, right off the bat, are you going to be coming back,
wrestling a full time schedule still?
No. I'm old, man. I'm old. S**t, I got shoes older than you.
Big Show is older than you, right?
MARK HENRY: No, I'm older than him BILL: You look way younger.
Shut up, man. Give me a hug, man.
All right, I gotta know, other than Wrestlemania, you've done a lot of stuff,
you've been a lot of places, what's the most amazing live sporting event you've ever been to?
You know what, man, this is going to make you laugh.
It was a high school game. I saw [Rajon] Rondo play at Eastern High School
his senior year, in the regionals, triple overtime. There was a buzzer beater
to take it into overtime. There was a foul with no time left on the clock where a guy had
to bury two free-throws to go into the next overtime. Everybody on the starting team fouled out,
Rondo included, on both teams. They were all bench players, and I was, like,
"That'll never happen again." And you know, they lost, but you know, I was like, man, I went in the
locker room afterwards cause I'm friends with his coach and I was, like, "Y'all have nothing
in the world to be sad about. Like, you played your best." It was such a good event.
It was like the best sporting event I ever saw.
What were the teams, give them a shout-out.
Eastern High School in Louisville, Kentucky,
and I think Mel High School in Kentucky.
Very cool. That's a good story.
BILL: Now, you are the world's strongest man, obviously. MARK HENRY: That's right, that's right.
BILL: You fight for a living. MARK HENRY: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
But I want to know what athlete would you least want to fight?
One that I've actually fought, Brock Lesnar. He's big. He's strong.
He's enduring and he's a little bit deranged. You gotta be crazy to train like he trains
and to accept getting hit in the face. I mean, he just embodies what a WWE champion is.
What was it like watching him come back after five years out of the UFC and win against Mark Hunt?
You know what, I thought it was beautiful.
I think it lets people know that our sport is not just a bunch of guys
in tight clothes. It's a lot of guys that's extremely talented and smart. You know, we're
a business that's psychology driven. Sometimes simple psychology; big versus small,
fast versus slow, but then what we do, it gets complicated. You go up and you go down and
you go, "Hey, here you go. No, you can't have it." You know, like, we give it everything
and we're the only business like what we are.
I want to ask you, with NXT becoming legitimate third brand, the brand split coming up,
who do you think is going to be the next giant person in wrestling?
You know what, man, I've always said that Bayley, she belongs all ready
and she's not getting her just due. I think that given the right opportunity, Bayley will go right to the top.
She's something else and very, very special.
I want to ask you, what's the best sandwich meat?
Ooh...corned beef.
You know it's a close second. Pastrami a close second. If you can get both of them on one sandwich,
bam! Life is good, life is good. BILL: What's a movie that always make you cry?
"Green Mile."
BILL: Oh, because your friend was in that. MARK HENRY: Yeah. Every time I see it
I think about him. I think about our relationship, but also how talented he was and how he didn't
get the chance to really do all what I think he could've done
All right, my last question for ya, actually I got two more, sorry. One,
what's the last thing you Googled?
The last thing I Googled....
who's on the Bulls roster.
Cake or pie?
Cake! CAKE!
