411MANIA | Mark Henry Recalls Threatening Shawn Michaels Backstage After Crutches Prank, How Vince McMahon Reacted To It
– During the latest Steve Austin Show, Mark Henry recalled how threatening Shawn Michaels led to him training with the Harts in Canada where he really started to learn the ropes. Henry recalled that he was having a difficult time fitting in, falling victim to regular pranks by the WWE talent until Shawn Michaels pushed him over the edge and he threatened the WWE star. Vince McMahon then sent him to train with Bret Hart, which led to him training with Stu Hart for nine months-plus during which he learned what it meant to work as a pro wrestler.
Highlights from the discussion are below, along with the full podcast:
On how long it took him to fit in with the boys: “Well, it took me getting banished to Canada, because I threatened to kill Shawn Michaels. Like, they hid my crutches when I broke my ankle, and I just was like, ‘Okay this is it. Like, It’s over. I don’t want to do this.’ Aw, man, so I was like, ‘Man, you 180 pounds, man. I’d kill you man. It’d be unfair for me to whip you.’ :bawsehenry:And he was like ‘You threatening me?’I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s really a threat. I’m just telling you like it is. Y’all need to leave me alone.’ :bawsehenry: And he told Vince, and Vince said, ‘Hey man, you can’t threaten our top guys! What’s wrong with you?’
And I was like, ‘Look man, I just ain’t used to nobody trying me.:sadhenry: Like if they wanna try me they gotta be able to accept the consequences,:bawsehenry:’ [Vince said] ‘No, dammit!:cokeboyvince1: You can’t just be beating people up! It’s not gonna fix it. They’re trying to bring you in, but you’re pushing them back.’”
#SnitchGang takes no credit on snitching on Mark Henry, Shawn was acting on his own. 
Mr. Henry I'll have the payment for you letting me breathe by the end of tomorrow...
