16 Things We Learned From Mark Henry On Talk Is Jericho
12. Mentors
Jericho asks who some of the guys who helped him improve were, and if The Undertaker was among them. Henry responds that since he was one of the top guys he was very busy, but the second tier stars were the ones really stepped up and showed him the ropes. He names Billy Gunn as someone who really went out of his way for him, teaching him to do a proper press slam so that he wouldn't hurt somebody. Every week different guys were working with him - men such as Mike Rotunda, Ron Simmons and Steve Lombardi - to help him learn his craft. Henry says after the ppv debut with Lawler he wrestled Lombardi - The Brooklyn Brawler - in dark matches for months, Jericho says that one of the scariest prospects for a wrestler is working with someone who's both green and strong, because not only do they not know what they're doing but that they can very easily hurt someone, and Henry said that was him to a tee.
