Mark Henry on New England Cable News
March 28, 1998 --- To promote WrestleMania XIV in Boston
Chris Collins (Host) | Where talking March Madness, we're talking WrestleMania. I got a guest with me, man, you look bigger in person. Mark Henry of the WWF I had every intention of pucking you out, but you look a lot bigger in person. Hey, Hey, Hey! | |
Mark Henry | (Picks up a baseball bat) | |
CC | Don't go to the props. C'mon man | |
MH | I'll leave this for you | |
CC | Don't go to the props. You don't need that. I ran into a few of your boys earlier this week it wasn't friendly To show you I'm not a punk I'll roll the tape to show you where I stand. Roll it | |

CC | Looser! Winners stick with winners. So now you know where I'm coming from. They tell me your a winner and your an Olympian. | |
MH | Not only am I an Olympian, but I'm a winner and from the looks of things you was awful for in the back (on the tape) What happened on your forehead? | |
CC | What's wrong? | |
MH | It looks like someone racked across your forehead. What happened did someone get you? | |
CC | I was in there doing damage. I was up, standing tall to Stone Cold. I want to know about the Nation of Demolition or what is it? | |
MH | Hold on! It's my show now if you gonna say it, say it right Nation of Domination | |
CC | Islam? | |
MH | That ain't what I said. I don't want to do this to you on national TV , but the cameras will stop rolling later. Get it: Nation of Domination. No more jokes. If you're gonna say it, say it right | |
CC | How can I be a part of it? | |
MH | You have to prove yourself | |
CC | From what I understand, I fit the criteria | |
MH | What's the criteria? You don't know what we went through to become the Nation | |
CC | Who's involved? | |
MH | We got Rocky, Myself, D-Lo Brown | |
CC | There seems to be a common denotation that I share (both laugh) | |
MH | The only thing I see is that you have a big mouth and we all now how to run it. | |
CC | This is a black thing, isn't it? | |
MH | No. It's a respect thing. See, we don't get respect, so we joined together as a group to take over. Luckily, Rocky Maivia is in the Intercontinental Championship match; he'll win. But we still get pushed aside. That's what the Nation is all about. We'll come back in "98 and '99 and get some respect | |
CC | How'd you not get Mike Tyson? Tyson's with that--what's that thing? | |
MH | He's broke. He's all about dividends. He gets with Shawn Michaels, champion, kissing everyone's butt and gets on TV to talk about how bad he is and how big his kielbasa is (does a Crotch Chop) and this and that. We don't have to do that cause we already know what's going on. | |
CC | Nation of Demolition. Come back. Nation of Demolition. I should be a part of this. | |
MH | I think I can get you in. | |
CC | Yeah (raises arm) That looks like the old Black power signal | |
Commercials--then shows a boxing clip of Shannon Briggs loosing to Lennox Lewis | ||
CC | Back with the WWWF, man, an extra W! | |
MH | When you associate with the Nation, you've got to put in a little extra. We know that Mr. Briggs won't be a member of the Nation of Domination. | |
CC | Why is that? | |
MH | Cause he's a looser | |
CC | And winners hang with winners, and that's why were leaving you, cause you're a looser! What happened to foreign objects? | |
MH | Well, being in the Nation, we don't need foreign objects. We are weapons ourselves. Its obvious that you haven't seen us for a while. Tune in on Monday nights. How could you be a member of the Nation if you don't respect us by watching us? | |
CC | I'm disturbed. I'm looking at the card and your in the corner with a guy called Kama. What is that? Kama Kama Kama Chameleon? Old singer? Boy George? You wrestle with a transvestite? | |
MH | Goldust is in another match. We're gonna leave him out of this. He doesn't consort with the brothers of the Nation | |
CC | Explain what is a foreign object | |
MH | Anything outside of the ropes. You can't use anything. Brass knuckles, or this pen! | |
CC | Would this (a bottle of salad dressing) be one? | |
MH | Yes, if you hit someone with it. | |
CC | This (lacrosse stick)? | |
MH | That could be. | |
CC | Foreign Object? (hockey puck) | |
MH | Hockey puck. You can knock out someone with a puck. Anything! | |
CC | Is this (telephone) a foreign object? [voice on phone]: Yes. What about Mr. T? Could he be a part of the Nation? | |
MH | Wasn't he on the A-Team? | |
CC | He was a wrestler. I think on WrestleMania 1 or 2. | |
MH | It's back in the old days. Old geezers have nothing to do with us. We are all about now. | |
CC | You don't embrace the rich detailed history of the WWF? | |
MH | History is his story. I'm gonna tell my story. That's what the Nation is all about. You need to tune in on Mondays | |
CC | You do a lot of this? (raises arm) | |
MH | We do a lot of this (raises arm) and a lot of this (punches). | |
CC | What's this Kama guy? | |
MH | He's the best man to protect my back. He is not a veteran but a seasoned wrestler | |
CC | Sounds like he's from the Nation of Islam | |
MH | You say things that don't deal with the Nation. You'll make me get Southern on you. | |
Caller | Faarooq and Rocky have a little bit of tension. Who would you stand behind if they went at it? | |
MH | There is no confusion with the Nation. Every family has its little fights or quarrels. That question is not even relevant | |
CC | Who's the leader of the Nation of Destruction? | |
MH | You're gonna loose an eye! | |
Caller | It's the Nation of Domination. By any means necessary. | |
MH | This guy is up for a candidacy. Go ahead with the question. (no sound). He's gone. You put the only guy that had respect off the air. Help me and I'll help you. | |
CC | You know my credo: And winners hang with winners, and that's why were leaving you, cause you're a looser! | |

CC | I just want to be a part of the Nation of Discrimination. | |
MH | (In his breath) Nation of Discrimination! Good Lord! Help him! | |
Caller | Tyson & Austin. If Stonecold stunned you (Chris Colllins), you'd still be out. | |
CC | He's a cat, a pussy cat, without the cat. | |
Caller | Shawn will attack Stonecold when Tyson is holding him. Mark, do you hang out with Rocky? | |
MH | Yes. | |
Caller | You're a looser! | |
MH | Obviously the real looser is the one that made the call | |
CC | Who's the baddest man on the planet? | |
MH | It's a title that is yet to be determined. | |
CC | Could It be you? | |
MH | It could be. | |
Caller | Will Rock cover your back? | |
MH | Sure the Rock will 100% | |
Caller | Who'll win between Michaels & Austin? | |
MH | It is too hard to call. They are both devastating. They are both weapons, and are very athletic. | |
CC | What does he say? Open up a can of whoop-something? | |
MH | Open up a can of whoop ass | |
CC | What every happened to Pat Patterson? | |
MH | He is still around giving advice | |
Caller | Start watching out. Mark Henry can squeeze the bejeezus out of you with his bear hug. | |
CC | He's not as big as he looks. (Stands up) | |
MH | (stands up) | |
CC | Maybe he is! | |
CC | You gonna win? | |
MH | We will win there's no doubt that Kama and me will win | |
CC | We shall see. WrestleMania is tomorrow |
