Mark Henry says his retirement is 'imminent,' names dream opponent
Even since before Mark Henry proved we were all a bunch of puppets during his "retirement speech" over two years ago, fans have been speculating about when the longtime WWE star would call it a career. The answer appears to be that it will be sooner, rather than later. During a recent appearance on the WNS podcast, Henry elaborated on when and how he would prefer to retire:
"I think that I want to go out in dramatic fashion. Win, lose or draw I want to have a retirement match and a lot of guys have done it throughout history and I'm going to go back and kind of see what style of match. Maybe even let the WWE Universe decide what my match will be. I'm not sure yet but it's imminent. It's coming."
When asked about his preference in final opponent, he elaborated:
"Daniel Bryan is one of my favourite wrestlers. As a talent, as an entertainer, the way our fans love and revere him. There's never been a match he and I have been in where it was bad. He is one that I would definitely like to consider. He's been gone a long time dealing with injuries and I know how that feels and I know that somebody like Daniel with his credentials would be really really cool."
That matchup would probably please many fans and certainly Henry and Bryan would do everything they could to make it a memorable match.
