Mark Henry Praises Rusev, Predicts Next Big Star Out Of NXT, Talks Retirement

The following are highlights of a new Miami Herald interview with Mark Henry:

On working with Rusev: “He is respectful. He is a really good listener. He is going to be a guy who holds true for the next 10 or 15 years. Hopefully, his body holds up, and he doesn’t have as many injuries as I did. I know what talent looks like and who has got it. Those are the people I want to work with and against. I’m happy to be able to say I had a hand in making some moments for him in his career.”

On NXT star Jason Jordan: “Jason Jordan is one of the ones who are next. He is very athletic. I’m hoping to see more of him in the near future. Athletic, smart, college graduate and understands you have to wait your turn. Ambitious. Not sitting back and collecting checks. I’m happy to know him and know the future is going to be bright.”

On wanting to be a WWE ambassador over a traveling producer when he retires: “I don’t want to be on the road like that because I have small kids. I would like to do more international marketing and urban outreach community involvement. I want to try to develop the brand internationally whenever we open new places abroad. I think that would be more where my skill set would be used better.”
