After signing deal, Henry turns heel

-

‘The World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry gave one of the most emotional and memorable performanc­es in Raw history a few months ago when he announced his retirement, only to attack John Cena.

At that time, Henry told Cena he had a lot left in the tank and obviously he feels he has three more years left after signing a contract of that length with WWE. But before fans get excited to cheer for Henry, he made it clear that he is not coming back to be a fan favorite.

“If I have to smile and hug somebody one more time I’m going to throw up,” he said. “In my heart of hearts, I want to put my foot in somebody’s throat and spit at people.”
