Mark Henry talks about his time in the Nation of Domination.
Mark Henry, much like The Rock, treaded water in his early days in WWE as a clean-cut babyface. Then, when Mark Henry joined the Nation of Domination as the heater during The Rock's time with the group, Henry began to show more personality and started to make waves and WWE.
Reflecting on his time in the group during a recent interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Henry said it was hard to argue that version of the Nation of Domination is one of the best factions of all time.
"The best faction of all time. It’s hard to argue," he said. "I think it was the first person that said something to me was Vince and then Ron Simmons and The Rock both said, ‘Hey, you need to go down to the ring because they want to talk to all of us together.’ I'm like, ‘All of us? Who is us?’ Then Dwayne proceeded to tell me that, ‘Yeah, it's going to be my thing. I'm going to bring you into the nation to help us.’ I was like, ‘Oh, shit.’
"I was in shock. I was like, ‘Man, this is awesome,’ and I was kind of like the heavy, like the fold your arms bodyguard type of dude at first," he continued. "Man, it was a surprise that they were making me. I just thought that I was going to go out there and do something with them and it was like a one-off. I didn't think that that's what Vince meant when he said that he was gonna put me with him tonight."
Elsewhere in this interview, Henry talked about wishing he was able to help more during his time in AEW. Read his comments here.
