Mark Henry reckons why Vince McMahon return for on-screen programming
Henry feels that Vince McMahon’s appearance on SmackDown was to boost ratings and also to send a message to everyone. On the Busted Open show, Mark Henry said that Vince McMahon wanted to drive the ratings up for SmackDown while also sending a message to everyone that he’s not afraid of anyone and will fight this battle head-on:
“You know what, this is the hottest thing in the world, you can possibly bring in people that have never even watched wrestling before and it was just a media deal, it was just a ratings push. The second thing was, you [Bully Ray] know Vince and I know Vince, and Vince is going through something that should be personal, shouldn’t even be out in the world. Just that people can’t keep their mouths shut about business that don’t belong to them and then they come out with it. Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s still personal.”
