10 Things We Learned From Mark Henry On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions

3. ‘Hall Of Pain’ Was Born From A Rib

When Henry arrived for the 3 June 2011 episode of SmackDown, agents told him he'd be working with Christian on the pre-taped show. Later, Vince pulled Mark aside and informed him he needed him to wrestle another bout, albeit after the cameras stopped rolling. It'd be against Sin Cara

Dutifully, Mark went to the ring but was angered once it became clear that Cara wasn't coming out. Ring announcer Tony Chimel thanked the fans for coming and wrapped things up. Henry told Austin he began wrecking the joint when he returned back behind the curtain to find that everybody had left.

He'd been ribbed, and he was fuming about it.

Mark left Vince a voicemail to say he quit and went home. The next day, a puzzled McMahon called to smooth things over, and apologised for a prank that'd been taken to heart. Then, the boss said he wanted to show Henry something, and later paused footage of the rib right when Mark was at his angriest.

“If you can do that, we’ll make a lot of money”, he said.
