Mark Henry interview:

In an interview to promote tomorrow's Money In The Bank PPV, Mark Henry has revealed he had to take a 50% pay cut to be re-signed by WWE 5 years ago, because he was a solid mid carder and WWE didn't see him ever progressing.

He went on to say he is enjoying what is left of his career, because he considers every night to be his last, adding that he knows one day soon, it will be...

''Man, I'm 42 years old man. You got people like Steve Austin, who's in my top five of all time wrestlers, who had to quit because of how much physical torment he took. And you look at The Undertaker and The Undertaker's not old. The Undertakers 44. And he's beat the hell up. Man, I'm a 410 pound guy that throws his body all over the place. I am beat the hell up. But I got one more night in me. That's the way I look at it. Every night, I got one more. Until it happens, until they put me on crutches or wheel me off or cart me off. I got one more night. And every time I go out there, I have that in my mind. Like what am I going to do to top what I did last time. And this might—I wish I would have had this mentality when I was a younger guy. When I wasn't so beat up but I didn't. I can't dwell on that. That's why I look at putting—like you said I put all my eggs in one basket. I ain't never ran from the press. I ain't never disrespected the fans. And the ones that got the evil Mark Henry, they deserved it.''

He went on to defend an attack on him from former WWE star Ken Patera, he called in to a wrestling radio show Patera was a guest on to tell him he was inspiration to him, only for Patera to run him down and mock him. Henry concedes he was hurt by the verbal beating, but said that he achieved far more than Patera, both in and out of the ring.
