This is hardly enough to qualify as the least self aware but boy is this a doozy
During a recent interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion said that the catchphrase stopped eventually because it was too popular.
“It was too over," he said. "I wasn't a talent. You can't be more over than the talent."
This led to an overall conversation about the importance of communication and said that, as the boss, Tony Khan didn't have to do anything that Henry said, but he wished that Tony would have allowed him to help Tony become a better boss.
"You know what, man? Tony, people are going to say negative things about Tony. Communication is the key. Like, I was able to communicate with Tony. Tony is the boss. So he don't listen, he don't have to do nothing that I say. You know? He's the boss. But I wish that he would allow me to help him be even more the boss because talent will always try to lead you to do it their way, to make it fit them rather than make it fit the company and I just wanted AEW to do well," he said. "I don't disrespect no individual talent. There's no wrestler that would ever say, ‘Mark Henry shyt on me,’ except for maybe Ahmed Johnson and Ryback, but they deserve every bit of venom that I was spit at their ass.
"I might critique things from an educated standpoint, but I don't target people. I don't try to belittle anyone. I want to do just that—a critique is the point to get it fixed," he continued. I want it to get fixed. There's some people that just criticize for clickbait to try to make it seem like, ‘Oh, I was great, and you were the shyts.’ Those people, I don't talk to people like that. There's no wrestler that can say that they're a friend of mine, and they run talent down."
========================
The only way the first part makes sense is that the audience reaction to Mark Henry’s catchphrase might be the only part of Rampage that wasn’t piped in and someone got upset. The other part about wanting to help TK become a better boss is just par for the course.
The shot at Ahmed Johnson and Ryback
