In an interview with TMZ.com, Mark Henry discussed Jim Cornette resigning from the NWA. For those of you that missed it, here is what Cornette said during the NWA Powerrr broadcast:
“He [Trevor Murdoch] is the only man I’ve ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia.”
Here was Henry’s response:
“I would say, ‘Jim … please apologize, and mean it. And if you don’t mean it, then go all the way Darth Vader and tell I just don’t like black people.’”
“At least I know who you are. And, then I can get rid of this feeling that I have in my heart. It’s like having your mother or father disown you. I feel like a sense of mourning.”
“Prior to all of this, the relationship that I had with Jim Cornette has been really, really good. He taught me a lot about pro wrestling. He allowed me into his home to look at his archive. He helped me to be the wrestler that I became. And, I probably wouldn’t have been the guy without him.”
“But, it is very, very hurtful. And, I don’t get emotional about much, but I feel a sense of loss.”
