Mark Henry says that the days of a one-night WrestleMania are over, and he doesn’t want to see them come back. WrestleMania has been a two night PLE since WrestleMania 36, due both to the pandemic and complaints about the exhaustive length of WrestleMania 35.

There has always been a little pushback at the notion of WrestleMania (and now SummerSlam) taking place over two nights, and Henry was asked which he preferred during his interview with the Toronto Sun. He explained why he prefers two-night WrestleManias; you can see the highlights below:

On If He Thinks WrestleMania Should Go Back To One Night:

“I don’t. I think it sucks to be anywhere for five and a half six hours. And you know, like I love food, but I I can’t eat for 5 hours. I like movies but after even the longest, drawn-out movies — if it’s two and a half, three hours I’m going to sleep. I’m gonna miss that last two hours of that movie.”

On the Value Of Two Nights:

“You have to have things in a a a place where you’re not hurting yourself. And that’s what two nights does. I’m a big fan of AEW. But sometimes you look at a AEW PPV, it’s 5 hours. Man, your butt starts tingling from sitting so long, you know? I mean, you get cramps. So, it it’s it’s been done before, we’ve experienced it. I don’t want to go back to that.
