I was like, ‘Look man, you’re too good. There’s no way. I’m not going to allow you to just quit. Whatever I’ve got to do to get your ass back in a professional wrestling ring.’ ”

On Henry’s ability: “He is unreal. There’s nobody on the planet he can’t keep up with. You put him in the ring with Brian Danielson for 15 minutes and I promise you he will blow your mind. I promise. He’s a special type of human, man.”
