Mark Henry Loves Randy Orton’s Heel Turn on Cody Rhodes: “That’s What I Want From Randy”

TLDR

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry expressed his enthusiasm for Randy Orton's heel turn on Cody Rhodes during the March 13 episode of WWE SmackDown, where Orton attacked Rhodes during a contract signing and left him busted open after smashing him with steel ring steps. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Henry said he's "so damn happy" to see Orton return to being "The Viper" and compared it to his own most successful run during his "Hall of Pain" persona. Henry believes longtime wrestling veterans and fans respond strongest to dominant, aggressive characters like the version of Orton that attacked Rhodes.
