27.042 - 62.441 Mark Henry

There were some things that I thought were important that happened, but outside of Trick Williams, nothing really like, you know, I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. Nothing was really moving me. Like, my spirit... I wasn't entertained because I'm a wrestling fan. I'm sure y'all were entertained because it was wrestling. But it was nothing that was like, holy shit. Did you see that?

62.782 - 64.824 Mark Henry

If you was by yourself, then you didn't do that.

Chapter 2: How did Mark Henry evaluate the entertainment value of the show?

64.944 - 110.279 Mark Henry

But if you had somebody with you, you didn't get to do that at the beginning of the show. And... I judge a show usually by how it starts and what I wouldn't say what surprises because you don't always get surprises. You know, I judge it by the content. Was it competitive? Was there a level of danger or did I feel like, oh my God, I can't believe that this person stepped out of line? Something.

111.461 - 129.668 Mark Henry

Don't, you know, I gotta go straight to the end. The most important thing that happened in this show tonight was the end of the show. Holy shit, did they get after it.

0

Chapter 3: What were the most significant moments from the SmackDown show?

130.66 - 188.697 Mark Henry

And when I say get after it, I enjoyed seeing the match-ups. Didn't have to be a physical match. But the match-ups. You have Cody Rhodes. And Cody is... Andre, you have to talk me down from the tower tonight. Cody Rose is a heel, y'all. I mean, the Seuss, the pompous attitude to the things that he says to people and about people. And let's go, the guy, he said the guy.

0

189.723 - 196.454 Mark Henry

He didn't say Johnny Gargano laying there like a potato or whatever.

0

Chapter 4: How does Cody Rhodes' character development impact the storyline?

196.474 - 214.482 Mark Henry

What the hell he said? That's derogatory. I mean, I'm just saying, y'all don't want to say it. Y'all don't want to say it. Mark, can I play devil's advocate here for this? You're blind, Andre, if you tell me.

0

214.681 - 237.972

Cody Rhodes was not a heel the way that he talked to Sami Zayn Is it the slight chance though that he he just gets passionate and he just the anger just taps in like, you know We just get your nice guy. Everything's great But then when you just get past your limit that person just pokes you one too many times Then you just let everything slip.

0

238.052 - 242.759

I think that's what Cody's going through right now Slightly heel ish. I'll agree.

0

Chapter 5: What makes Jey Uso a key player in the current wrestling narrative?

0

244.702 - 277.528 Mark Henry

Andre, there have been people that I've worked with on this show. And we've discussed issues. You name it. And I've been tired of their take. I'm like, you are wrong. You're backwards. You're on the wrong side of history on this matter. But I had to sit there and just go... Well, that's an opinion.

0

Chapter 6: How does Gunther's role influence the championship landscape?

277.588 - 309.867 Mark Henry

Now I'm going to give you mine. And I'm not saying that I'm always right because I'm not. I've been proven wrong many, many times and I'm comfortable with that. Some of y'all might have an issue with being wrong, but you know what? If you don't have a brain and you don't have a take and you don't have an opinion and people don't listen to it, then you don't matter anyway. So I'm happy to matter.

0

310.748 - 334.339 Mark Henry

But I am a man and I can admit when I'm wrong. But on this issue, Andre and Nation and wrestlers alike, I'm not wrong on this. I'm not wrong. My mother used to tell me all the time, it's not always what you say, but how you say it.

0

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Obafemi's arrival on the wrestling scene?

336.703 - 355.05 Mark Henry

There's a lot of that with Cody. But then Cody will shuffle in one of those... I can't even remember the word that he used. I didn't think that that word fit, Andre.

0

355.991 - 358.314

One of those SAT words that gets thrown in there?

0

359.836 - 378.992 Mark Henry

Right there at the end. What did he say? You know, I'm saying... Sammy is talking all of this shit. I'm like, Sammy, you... You're a liar. Cody said before that you are in denial because you don't want to admit that you just want this championship.

0

Chapter 8: How do fan reactions shape the direction of wrestling storylines?

381.056 - 406.664 Mark Henry

Who don't want it? Why would you not admit to that, Sammy? Why would you not say, you know what, you're right, I do want it. I'm not willing to cut your throat to get it. I want to get it head up. but you keep dodging me and you my friend, so I'm wondering what's up. Why don't he say that? And then that kills it all. Then Cody, all he can say is, you know what?

0

407.705 - 445.239 Mark Henry

You right, if you can beat me man to man, one on one, right in the middle of this ring, then you deserve to be the champion. But Cody told Sami one time, you're not championship material. Who says that to somebody? What makes Sammy not? And we talked about this, Andre. Oh, is it his red hair? Is it the fact that he hasn't won it thus far? And you think, well, it's a trend.

0

446.02 - 481.326 Mark Henry

Every opportunity you get, you whistle it away. Well, I don't know what the, but tonight Cody told Sammy that he is boring or he's repetitive or you're, it was something to that effect. And I'm sitting here, I'm telling you, I'm wrong. I can't remember exactly what the word was, but I do know this. It was derogatory the way that he said it. And he told him that he was listening to the,

0

481.559 - 487.825 Mark Henry

he didn't reference Johnny Gargano by name. That was derogatory.

0

490.167 - 495.292

By the way, Mark, is the word you're looking for exhausting? He said you're exhausting.

495.713 - 528.006 Mark Henry

Yes, he is tired of Sami Zayn. You know what that means? That when your kid is crying and you're telling them, listen, you're sleepy. You need to go take a nap. It's bedtime. You're grumpy and irritable for no reason at all. It's time. Go put your pajamas on. It's time to go to bed. He was dismissive. You can't do that to me. You can't do that to me, Andre. You can't dismiss me.

528.127 - 563.725 Mark Henry

I'm going to get pissed off. If you talk to me like I'm a petulant child, you dismiss my conversation. I had somebody the other day, y'all almost read about my ass in the paper. You almost got an internet blast that Mark Henry got arrested because I was talking to somebody and they did me like this. I went, who the fuck are you talking to? I got angry, like real angry, like credible Hulk smash.

564.006 - 602.209 Mark Henry

I lose the ability to communicate when I'm angry. And I could not think of what to say to this person other than if you ever shush me again, I will smack your face. I don't wanna walk around threatening non-wrestlers. I'm not, in my career, been arrested or went to jail for smashing a non-wrestler. Now, I threw a drink in the face of one and went to jail, but that's different.

603.21 - 603.871 Dave LaGreca

You busted.
