It says everything for Mark Henry that he was willing to fight The Undertaker if it came to that. The guy wasn't afraid of anybody in his prime, and wasn't prepared to take anyone's sh*t...apart from Ron Simmons. Mark told Austin that Simmons was the only dude in the locker room he was deathly afraid of.

When Henry thought about how he'd approach a scrap with Faarooq, he was stumped. There was something about Simmons that just screamed hard man; Mark recalls glaring over at Ron from across the room. When his Nation Of Domination leader spotted the stare, he said, "What you looking at me like that for? You wanna' try me?".

"No, no sir", said Mark. Later, he'd view Simmons as a father figure who had his best interests at heart. The former WCW Champ told his entire Nation collective (including The Rock) that they needed to step up and do things right or find another spot, but he was also a guiding light.
