Mark Henry comments on a proposed nickname for him in WWE that he rejected

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry did an interview with Denise Salcedo and here are the highlights…

“A proposed nickname he rejected: “There was really nothing I did that I didn’t want to do except when they wanted to do the ‘silverback’ thing. I’m a Black man in America, I got little Black kids all over the world looking up to me. The last thing I need to do is call myself a f***ing primate.”

His Sexual Chocolate gimmick: “‘Sexual Chocolate’ was the best. I had so much fun doing that.”

Vince McMahon’s thoughts on Sexual Chocolate: “Vince said ‘You’re the only person I’ve ever met in my life that wants to lose, but I was like the whole point of the character is he gets distracted by the ladies. He gets distracted by the moment… [Vince] would laugh his a** off.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingInc.com)
