Just had emergency surgery on my colon cancer coming out the surgery there is only one way to start my day is that I had to put your interview want to stay strong and positive that I got a Be!
Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro
The Iconic Chris VanVilet, your the man Chris #1 fan here bar none your work is great
Mark Henry deserves everything what a legend
Ryback and his suppoters are trying to bring Henry down…
@@TheUsherrrr Ryback is such a weird guy 😂
@@reallysmallguy3871 true… but I don’t get why Ryback is trying to make Mark Henry look bad. Henry seems like a very nice guy tbh
Can you imagine if more people strived to be like Mark Henry? Held themselves to the standards he holds himself to and taught his children to hold themselves to. Absolutely an amazing man. Put all his accolades in wrestling and strength competition aside and the amount of respect I have for him is still almost immeasurable. He is the epitome of dignity and I can't compliment him enough.
Mark Henry will never be retired in my eyes lol. When he won the World Heavyweight Championship, I felt like it was long overdue. He's one person who could come back to the ring and business would pick up like he never left.
Mark Henry is a national treasure.
My favorite sports entertainer in wrestling….”that’s what I do!” Always turned me up! Love you Mark!
Always! 💪🏾
No he isnt
Hell yeah he is
what's up with everyone saying everybody is a national treasure?
When he said about kids “you’d step in front of a train,” I also got teary-eyed thinking about my kids. Then I thought, “If Mark Henry did that, he might STOP the train!”
True
The ICONIC Mark Henry. He made you hate him. And he was scary.
Mark was a rare breed of a big man wrestler. He had the aura of being a menacing, cold blooded beast that most wrestlers didn't want to mess around with. It's shameful that guys like John Cena overshadowed the main bulk of mark's WWE career BC his hall of pain gimmick should have result with him being the WWE champion instead of the world heavyweight champion.
@@gunnyo50 yeah big men like him and kane lost more matches than they won sadly.
There is a risk in making them win too much, if Kane won too much I would never believe anyone could ever beat him even if they did.
🏮for me , Not really hate him , I thought the entrance and theme was quite strong, so I wanted to know his mindset, and what type of dude he is, and wrestling was definitely interesting, whenever he came out‼️ Glad he is one of the, greatest respected, Wrestlers in Wrestling‼️ yea he looks mean and is definition of hell-strong
Mable was better 😂
I loved Mark Henry as a wrestler, and I also love hearing him as a storyteller. I'm so glad that another company was able to recognize his talents. Also, best of luck to his son and reaching his dreams!
Mark Henry the wrestler, scary as a mfer!! Mark Henry the man, one of the most humble people i ever had the honor of meeting. I was a bouncer at a nightclub in Austin, TX in early 2000s called Palladium Nightclub just after getting out of the Army. On New Year's Eve a cold front hit and i got stuck outside working the door and running the golf cart shuttle driving customers to their cars at the end of the night. And who do I end up taking to his car but The Legend Mark Henry and his 2 friends who were ever bit the same size as he is. At that time i was 6'7" and about 275 lbs and they made me feel small lol so me and these 3 men climb in the electric golf cart shuttle and head to their car a block and a half away. I took us almost 10 mins to get there or at least it felt like it cause the poor golf cart just couldn't handle all the weight😂 but Mr. Henry and his friends cracked jokes about it the whole way till my ribs hurt. They ended the trip by tipping me very generously, thanking me, and wishing me a Happy New Year! Basicly turning one of the worst New Year's Eve in my life into one i will never forget and will get to tell my grandkids about!
Awesome story bro 👍🏼💯.
Lol 😂at the golf ⛳ cart 🛒 I bet it was creeping through the block like a drive by 🎉
@@syxxpoppin8830 lol we easily had 1500lbs on that cart
Tell him Cena is stronger thn him & see how humble he is
Mark Henry 2007 was scary as hell.
I was so hyped when this man won the WHC. I love, Mark. Good dude.
So much love for Mark Henry…. Loved the Hall of Pain run, I wish it lasted longer…you could tell he’s a genuinely good human being on top of it all
I’m a simple man. I see Mark Henry, I click
Let be all the way honest here Mark Henry got one of the top best/hardest theme song of all time..
Facts
Somebody's gonna get it
That's my go to song when I'm doing my max reps😂
Three six Mafia
Outstanding interview. Get Mark on more often if you can. Well done, Chris!
I've always loved Mark. A strong, powerful, humble and inspiration to so many people. He started as a power lifter in the Olympics and went on to be a great wrestler and human being. God bless him.
The fact that Mark Henry didn't have a Brock Lesnar-like domination run throught the Ruthless Agression and PG era is so unreal to me. His Hall of Pain run showed us that he can be one of the most terrifying characters in pro wrestling and they only used that side of him properly for a year. He could have been THE greatest monster heel of all time.
I've been deep into wrestling most of my life, and I can honestly say that Chris is one of the most respectable interviewers that's ever been in the business.
I put him in the class of Bill Apter.
It's refreshing to see someone who respects the business, understands the business, and goes into the heart of the business to learn from.....sometimes literally.
He's a good listener too, and he doesn't interrupt, and that means a lot.
Sometimes people just need someone to listen to them, and wrestlers are no different.
Watch any of his interviews and you can see how comfortable and at ease the guys/gals are when they're talking to him, and that's what makes the best and most in depth shoot interviews.
Some of these guys have been interviewed a zillion times, so as an interviewer you have to do your homework and focus on areas that maybe haven't been discussed or discussed very little in their previous shoots with other interviewers, and Chris is good at that.
You can tell the guys enjoy talking to Chris as much as he enjoys talking to them.
Another great interview as usual!👍
I love that his son casually squats and deadlifts 700 pounds.
Right?!
The kids seventeen! I slept on my left side too long last night and my whole day is thrown off!!
I loved his Hall of Pain run. Can’t believe that was over a decade ago now
That salmon colored suit is iconic, Hall of Pain Mark 🔥 absolute legend
The itnerviews I love the most, is the ones where you can tell that Chris can just relax with the guest and just be himself 100% . This is one of those interviews. Mark henry is so funny and smart.
the fact that I believe in 03 or 04 he became only the second man in HISTORY to lift the thomas inch dumbbell over his head speaks volumes to how otherworldly strong this man is
It was 02 and he was the FIRST man to ever lift it.
“It’s time! For the main event!” Worth every penny TK gives this Legend. Thanks to the Worlds Strongest and Poppa CVV.
"Hall of Pain" Mark Henry was what he should have been all along: an ass kicking monster heel. He should have had multiple world title reigns.
Mark is by far my favorite person in Pro Wrestling. The man exudes passion, respect and love. He really makes you feel. Whenever he's on busted open, I'm there.
Mark Henry is such a sweet human being you forget how strong he is
I try telling people Mark Henry is arguably the strongest man to ever live. He dominated tested powerlifting and his lifts still rank in the top 5-10 almost 30 years later. He won the first Arnold Strongman Classic like he said. And of course went to the Olympics in weightlifting. Nobody can dominate all 3 strength sports like he did. Incredible strength athlete.
Didn’t even watch the video and it’s already been liked
U r an inspiration to me Mark Henry, the world’s strongest man.
Nobody to love, and nobody to love me..felt that one to the core today. I hope everyone finds someone they can share their love with. Great stuff ❤️
Great interview with Mark Henry CVV! And Hope your Parenthood continues being a dream come true 😎👍🔥
🙏❤️
Mark Henry is a genuine great and humble man, you can see it just by listening to him speak for a few minutes. I'm glad Tony Khan treats him the way he deserves, especially after everything he's done for the business.
And I got to thank him for discovering Jade Cargill because she's been my favourite woman to watch ever since she debuted in AEW. A real badass and a hard worker
That ending when he started talking about his family 😭 I'm not crying you're crying 😭😭 59:20
Chris is great at listening to his guests. So many interviewers make it it about themselves or their list of questions. Others are too loose and irreverent. This guy has the perfect balance.
Love these interviews keep them up !!!
Love Mark, such a down to Earth guy.
Hi Mark thank you for just being you. I've been a 40+ year wrestling fan and you always made me love wrestling when I kind of was getting a lack of interest then boom Mark pops up and you'd bring me back. Thank you! God bless you sir.
Tony Chimel: "His Opponent Coming Down The Aisle From Silsbee,Tx Standing At 6'4 At A Combine Weight Of 439lbs The Worlds Strongest Man Mark Henry."
Mark is Undoubtedly 1 of the Most Memorable BIG Men in the History of Professional Wrestling.. Great Interview Chris!
Mark Henry one of the most underrated wrestlers ever.. how can you not like this man?! What an absolute gent
It's a shame as long as he's been with wwe that he only got one title run. He deserved everything he got. He's awesome in interviews. He's so humble
💨 🎯
Mark Henry is pure charisma. He was made for pro wrestling
I'm always impressed with his ability to articulate complex concepts in a clear simple way.
The hall of pain is part of the brickwork that built professional wrestling, no one can deny that and everyone best recognise.
Lol fool
@@rubberchixude youre a 30 something interested in KSI don't get to call people fool mate lmao
@@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo lol and you're a virgin
4 months with my son has gone by so fast, so enjoy that baby girl.🎉❤
Such a good interview once again! especially that Iron Sheik story 😱
One minute in and I'm already enjoying this interview. Mark seems like a genuinely good guy and has been in the business for a longgggg time. #Legend
Great interview! Could listen to this hours and hours.
Someone, maybe Mox or Danielson to hype up Blood & Guts or something, needs to use that line in a promo. Talking about the BCC: "We don't need weapons, we are the weapons"
Chris thank you so much for having Mark. He is such a wonderful human. Please invite Tommy Dreamer
I get he doesn’t wrestle anymore, but man WWE really misses having this guy around, I love mark!
Thanks a lot you guys made me cry at the end God bless you guys
Wow, that was a strong ending. He's absolutely right that family gives your life purpose.
Trinidad thanks you for the shoutout.
Mark Henry's Accolades Outside WWE Made him more vicious in the ring and always have a massive respect for the legend ❤
💨 He's an 💣lympic 3x medalist 🖐🏽
Met Mark at a comic con a few years ago. Very nice man, absolute legend
I'm from South Africa, and hearing Mark mention Cape Town as one of the cities where it would be great to showcase pro wrestling, I marked out
Great Interview 💯💪🏾🔥
I would love to see Mark sit down with Brian Shaw for a podcast. That would be a lot of fun.
Love Mark, great charismatic, emotional man
Hi ya Chris Van Vliet, love this show ,you make everything gold and ofcourse Mr Henry. I am sure myself and many other would love to see the end of Mark Henry and Paul White match. Love and respect 💜💜🇨🇦🇨🇦💜💜
Does anyone know where to find mark lit on busted open sounds hilarious to listen to
I’ve met Mark Henry in person. Such a humble guy in person.
I think when big show was talking about John’s strength he was more so talking about the ability to stabilize not just raw strength cause not many people on earth compare to marks totals in lifting
I really enjoyed Mark and Paul on commentary on AEW Dark Elevation when they did
Beautiful interview! Got me in the feels when Mark got emotional in the end
Growing up in the 90s.
Never has anyone been more loveable and more feared.
I ran into Mark at Waffle House in Huntsville, AL in 2003. He rolled up in a freaking limo lol. I had to say hello and shake his hand (his hand was 14x the size of mine lol). He was incredibly generous and very kind.
You was my moms favorite wrestler in the attitude era sadly she passed away so everytime I see you I think of her so for that alone I appriciate you as well as what you have done god bless my large brother
Mark Henry definitely discovered some amazing talent 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are the sorts of guys I feel bad for thinking were a bit of a joke when I was a 13 year old during the Attitude era and obsessed with Hogan, Austin, Rock, Goldberg, DX, NWO etc. Even a guy like Triple H. You realise later maybe after a long break from watching pro wrestling (I stopped from 2008-2022) that not only were they actually great but the names above that I just listed wouldn't have be as big and as great as they were without guys like Mark, Triple H, Goldust and Vader. It took me a while but much respect Mark! Enjoy your success and after AEW reigniting my interest in the sport I hope I get to see you compete one last time so I can show the respect you deserve by applauding after your last match!
Great video I would love WWE Wrestlemaina come to the Uk soon and It would be great if WWE Wrestlemaina 41 comes to the Uk or Ireland.
Mark Henry is literally Earths Mightiest Hero. I dont think anyone on earth can argue otherwise, and if they do, theyll just have to take it up with the History Books. Its all been documented. If Lex Luthor cant argue it, what makes anyone else think they can?
Its a good job hes around otherwise it might be anarchy on this small little backwater planet of ours.
Three cheers for the Big Guy!!!
So much respect for Mark Henry and now Tony Khan as well!
Mark Henry for President!
43:50 if you're looking for the Hall of Pain story

You can’t help but love Mark more listening to his interviews.
