Rob Van Dam Reflects on Strong Friendship with Mark Henry and Their Time in WWE and AEW

Rob Van Dam, a WWE Hall of Famer, talked about his friendship with Mark Henry, a former AEW analyst, on his podcast. He said Henry is always friendly and supportive whenever they meet backstage at AEW. They have a lot of fun together and share a strong bond.

Van Dam described Henry as a genuinely nice person who has consistently shown him kindness and respect. He mentioned that Henry has always been complimentary and appreciative of his work, often engaging in lighthearted conversations and sharing stories that bring about laughter. Van Dam noted that their time together is characterized by humor and mutual support, making Henry a valued friend and ally in the wrestling world.

Their friendship dates back to their time together in WWE, where they spent nearly six years from 2001 to 2007, albeit with only one singles match against each other. Despite not working together frequently, they have managed to maintain a strong bond over the years. However, Van Dam acknowledged that he would not see Henry during his next visit to AEW, as Henry had chosen not to renew his contract with Tony Khan’s promotion.

Henry’s decision to leave AEW stems from his desire to focus on personal projects, including TheMarkHenry.com and his ReMarkable brand. While he is proud of his accomplishments in AEW, he is looking forward to dedicating more time to his endeavors outside of wrestling. Despite the change, the friendship between Van Dam and Henry remains strong, rooted in mutual respect and shared experiences in the wrestling industry.
