WWE legend Mark Henry appeared on Busted Open radio with Dave Lagreca and Bully Ray this week and confirmed that he has signed an “Ambassadors” deal with the WWE.
Producer Alexander Metz sent in a few highlights from the discussion, including Henry’s opinion on Daniel Bryan’s in-ring future and his favorite Superstars in WWE.
Regarding Daniel Bryan, Henry said Bryan is a bonafide Hall of Famer, but he doesn’t think Bryan has wrestled his last match. For that to happen in a WWE ring, Vince McMahon would need “definitive proof” Bryan would not suffer a catastrophic injury, because Vince could not live with that on his conscience.
"He's great, he's the Gale Sayers of wrestling. He should be in the Hall of Fame when he's done, but he's not done yet." – @TheMarkHenry tells @davidlagreca1 & @bullyray5150 that they will need definitive proof to clear @WWEDanielBryan #SDLive #RAW #WWEHOF pic.twitter.com/XRSNbQOS52

As for which current WWE Superstars excite him, Mark Henry said he loves the “action” of Roman Reigns, and that he’s a tough guy that you ‘feel’ when he gets hit, because he expresses himself very well in the ring.
“As far as someone that when they come on the TV, I really want to watch what happens next: Finn Balor.”
Henry says he’d like to see Balor take a more prominent role, but that’s up to him. He thinks Balor needs to be ambitious. Henry says he and Bully Ray may need to sit down and tell Balor who he really is. He needs to believe himself to the point where it’s real. WWE fans think wrestling is real and the talent need to believe it’s real too. With Finn Balor, Henry thinks he’s still finding himself in that respect.
"To our fans, wrestling is real. He doesn't know yet just how real it can be." – @TheMarkHenry tells @davidlagreca1 & @bullyray5150 that @FinnBalor can be a top guy in #WWE #RAW #BalorClub pic.twitter.com/2mkay7HtUT
