WWE legend Mark Henry was brought to tears when describing what Brock Lesnar said to his daughter.
Lesnar recently sent shockwaves across WWE during the 42nd edition of WrestleMania, which took place in Las Vegas, Nevada, in late April.
The veteran was defeated by Femi after just four minutes and 42 seconds on night two of the event, prompting him to place his gear in the ring while fighting back tears as Paul Heyman entered before the pair embraced.
Fellow WWE legend-turned-Chief Content Officer Triple H also claimed that “it seemed that way” when pressed on whether Lesnar had called time on his illustrious career.

Since then, several members of the WWE community have paid tribute to Lesnar, congratulating him on his time in the business, despite him yet to officially confirm his retirement.
Despite seemingly moving away from WWE, Lesnar has still been offering advice to the next generation, with an emotional Henry opening up about how “The Beast Incarnate” took the time to give his daughter some guidance.
Speaking on Stuck In My Thoughts, Henry said: “Shout out to Brock Lesnar. He just spent a couple of hours with my daughter, who’s a wrestler. He’s like, ‘Man, my daughters — she’s a thrower — my boys, they play hockey. I don’t have anybody to pass my wrestling on to.’ And he was like, ‘I saw your daughter,’ and I went, ‘Brock, thank you.’”
The “World’s Strongest Man” then struggled to continue speaking and was overcome with emotion before the host asked: “Why does it touch you so much?”
“He knows me. He doesn’t know them like that — he knows who they are. But to be generous enough to share your knowledge with somebody, it’s better than money. It’s way better than money. To teach another person how to be great — that’s special.”
In a separate interview with ITR Wrestling earlier this week, Henry claimed that Lesnar isn’t retired and will come back at SummerSlam, which is set to take place in his home state of Minnesota.
Henry claimed: “I hope Brock comes back for this simple reason. SummerSlam is going to be in Minnesota, where he is from, and it would be a classic place to retire at home. And to give the fans the chance to show you their respect the way it should be done. I respect Brock, his legacy — he has got a lot left to give, in my opinion.”
SummerSlam will take place between August 1 and 2.
