– Mark Henry recently spoke with Busted Open Radio (transcript via wrestlinginc.com), here are the highlights…

On WWE Not Clearing Daniel Bryan: “He wants to keep going and the medical situation will not allow,” Henry said. “If I’m Vince [McMahon] – as much as I love Daniel – I’m not going to let him get in there, and get paralyzed, and get hurt on my watch. They are going to have to show definitive evidence and proof that he can go in there take a pounding, and not get hurt and end up in a wheelchair. They’re not gonna do it. I know Vince, he would not have that on his conscience. Man, who wants to go to the grave going, ‘I could have prevented that’?”

On How He Sees Bryan: “I don’t think [WWE has] painted themselves into a corner. What I think they’ve done is put it in someone else’s hands. … [Daniel Bryan] is great, he is beyond great. He’s Gale Sayers of wrestling. He should be in the Hall of Fame, when he’s done, but he’s not done.”
