Mark Henry

I had the pleasure of learning how to wrestle long matches and use psychology.

I grew up learning from guys like Ron Simmons and Owen Hart. They were like mentors to me, so I was able to embrace what they taught me, and I think I did alright.

I'm blessed to be able to say that at every juncture in my career, I succeeded.

I had to decide whether I should try to play pro football after high school or try to pursue my powerlifting career.

It may be the swansong of my wrestling career, but definitely not the end of Mark Henry!

I never in my career did appearances, like where you go and sign autographs, and you do the comic-cons and all of that stuff, because I wanted, when I stopped wrestling, to go and do that stuff and have it really mean something to somebody, that it hadn't been watered down.

I challenge anybody to go through their career and not have a failure as a talent.

You can't be a champion and look like a bum. You have to look, and be, the part. It's not just because it's required of your job, but is important to how you hold yourself.

The only thing better than winning a gold medal is going to Heaven.

Indian wrestlers definitely have a place in the industry.

I may be one of the very few people on earth that have won a championship in everything they've ever done.

If you're going to lose to somebody, losing to a guy like Brock Lesnar is not something that people will laugh at. Brock is arguably one of the top ten fighters on Earth.
