– During VOC Nation’s Wrestling With History, Bill Apter and Ken Resnick discussed WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry joining AEW and the major changes WWE is going through right now. Below are some highlights.
Bill Apter on Mark Henry signing with AEW: “I’ve known Mark since he started…I think this is an amazing move and I think that WWE was probably caught by (surprise)… They are branching out into more shows – Rampage (is coming – they’re going to keep doing things. They’re going to be doing special videos, special segments with these broadcasters; I have a feeling Mark Henry will be a backstage general. He’ll be a coach and a broadcaster. I think having he and the former Big Show Paul Wight together doing broadcasting – that’s going to be another team that people will talk about for years.”
