10 WWE Angles Wrestlers Wish They’d Turned Down
9. Mark Henry’s Retirement Tease
Mark Henry did like the start of his feud with John Cena in 2013, but he didn't like the way WWE suddenly ended it. The 'World's Strongest Man' told Heavy's YouTube channel that he was buzzing after a hot angle on the 17 June episode of Raw. Fans were too - everybody loved Henry's retirement tease and turn.
Less than a full month later, Mark lost to Cena by submission at Money In The Bank. That's the part he had a problem with. Henry wishes he'd told WWE creative he wouldn't submit, and been clearer about the fact that he wasn't actually planning to "go home" or retire due to injuries.
The big man considers this a major career regret.
He was excited by the Cena program, and wanted it to run on for another six months or so. MITB was WWE's endpoint though, which sucked for Mark. He likely wouldn't have agreed to any of it had he known he and Cena would be one and done.
