During a recent sit down on The Undertaker’s podcast, WWE great Mark Henry revealed a funny story about the time he threatened to kill Shawn Michaels and his pals.
Mark Henry had a very interesting career in the top wrestling company in the world. While he struggled to get over early after a run a power lifer in the Olympics, he eventually gained traction as a member of the Nation of Domination, then became a bit of a fan-favorite as “Sexual Chocolate.” However, he hit a peak later in his career when he introduced his “Hall of Pain” and turned into a dominant force and world champion in the company.

While he has many memorable memories in the company, he revealed a lowlight early in his career during a recent interview. Henry is known for having a bit of a temper, and it was tested at a point when he was dealing with a leg injury and was turned into a victim of a classic backstage “rib” when his clutches went missing.
The moment enraged the big man so much he claims he threatened to kill WWE legend Shawn Michaels and every member of the Kliq if he did not get them back.
“I got in trouble and they sent me to Canada because I threatened to kill Shawn Michaels and the entire Kliq. I thought it was them that hid [my crutches],” Henry revealed during an appearance on the “Six Feet Under” podcast hosted by fellow Hall-of-Famer The Undertaker.
“I meant that s***. But I found out later on it was Paul Bearer who hid my crutches and I blamed it on Shawn because they came up to me [like], ‘Hey man, they hid your crutches? What happened? And I was like, ‘You too small to be talking s*** to me.'”
Recalling the story led to a rare belly laugh from “The Deadman” which in itself is a shocking visual for long-time fans. The original lineup of the legendary Kliq backstage faction featured Hall-of-Famers Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Triple H, and Sean Waltman.
Paul Bearer is also a Hall-of-Famer, and along with being known as The Undertaker’s long-time manager, he has a history of being a big-time prankster during his lengthy career.
