Mark Henry spoke about legend Jake Robert

Former WWE superstar Mark Henry revealed through a tweet that Jake The Snake Roberts scared him.

Henry was replying to a video posted by UFC star Daniel Cormier. Cormier is a big fan of wrestling and freaked out seeing Jake The Snake Roberts.

Roberts is a WWE legend but is currently on AEW. He is seen as the manager of Lance Archer and recently brought out his reptiles to torment Brandi Rhodes too.

Henry, who is a WWE Hall of Famer, retweeted Cormier’s video and suggested he too freaked out after seeing Robers for the first time.

Henry quits WWE

Hall of Famer Henry retired from active in-ring competition in early 2018. The 48-year-old had been part of WWE’s roster since 1996, making him one of the longest-tenured wrestlers in the company.

The World’s Strongest Man was a successful weightlifter prior to joining WWE. He competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona and the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

In recent years, Henry has worked a limited schedule from an in-ring perspective and has taken on a greater role as an ambassador for the company.

His most recent match was at WrestleMania 33 in April, when he competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

That was one of only three matches Henry took part in throughout 2017, as he also wrestled in the Royal Rumble at the beginning of the year and lost a singles match to Braun Strowman in February.

Over the course of a career that spanned more than two decades, Henry won the World Heavyweight Championship, ECW Championship and European Championship in WWE.
