Backstage News on Mark Henry’s Current WWE Status and Why He Isn’t Being Used on TV

May 5, 2016

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that Mark Henry is still under contract to WWE, and despite him being open about wanting to retire in the near future, he is not yet retired.

As for why Henry is not being used on TV, the belief is that WWE is amidst a “rebuilding phase” right now, and officials are concentrating on new talent and building new stars right now, so creative hasn’t had anything for Henry.

This could also be the reason why talents like Kane and Big Show haven’t been seen on TV in awhile despite them working live events.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
