Mark Henry Says Wrestlers Should Negotiate Health Benefits Into Future Contracts

While it may seem obvious, Mark Henry is attempting to look out for his fellow superstars with his latest advice.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio last week, Mark Henry explained why all wrestlers should negotiate health benefits into their contracts moving forward regardless of which promoter they are working for.

Henry said, “I’m permanently damaged. I sit here today a broken human being from being a pro wrestler. I’m not crying, I’m not having a pity party. I know what wrestling did to my body. There’s no NFL-CTE lawsuit that I’m gonna put towards wrestling. Even though if I had brain damage, the way that pro wrestling is designed you would’ve had to look out for yourself and not rely on them, the business, the corporation that you work for to look out for you. That’s why you say, ‘Look, I need full insurance to do this.’ Negotiate it in your contract. It’s about what you negotiate and all wrestlers say, ‘You need a union, you need this.’ No, you need to have some balls.”
