As determined as ever, his boss persevered. He, according to some fascinating footage in the documentary, was instrumental in being hands on with Mark's characterisation. It's amazing to see that McMahon could see something in Henry (without fully knowing what it was) and wanted to nurture him.

That's why he personal produced those breakout segments Mark had in his new 'Sexual Chocolate' guise with Chyna.

The trio can be seen sharing laughs as they run through ideas when filming, and it's clear to see Henry was coming out of his shell around this period. At the same time, it's also obvious that the company were (again) looking for anything that'd help Mark integrate into their business.

It would've been nice to see more of these candid, out-of-character moments in the film, but it's great that they're there at all.
