Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, involving the WWE Hall of Fame, Sycho Sid and Mark Henry.
• Former WWF Champion Sycho Sid has confirmed that he is still under contract with WWE (Legend’s Contract) and is open to working with the promotion in the future.
In an interview on the Attitude Era Podcast, Sid mentioned that WWE might consider inducting him into the Hall of Fame, now that Vince McMahon is gone.
Sid also noted that he’d like a have a role on WWE TV, like managing a wrestler and helping with promos.
Here’s what the WrestleMania 8 & 13 main eventer said:
“You’d think that they would offer [a Hall of Fame induction]. Again, Vince (McMahon) didn’t like me so much. I think that’s why they haven’t offered me that. But, with Vince being gone now, you’d think those people would say, ‘Hey, this guy, we still got him on contract. He is still making a little bit of money. It would help him if we did that,’ and it would help them as well.
You would think they might want to do everything they could to promote something like that. That might be something fun to start, too.
If you get back in, you might want to do something like a part-time deal, (be a) manager, or special – I think I was pretty good at interviews, too. There’s always a lot of people having a hard time with that. If I could teach them, maybe I could help them do their interviews.”

• Mark Henry’s debut at AEW Double or Nothing in 2021 drew significant attention, but his time in All Elite Wrestling was seen as underwhelming by many. Now that Henry is no longer with AEW, he has expressed feeling a sense of abandonment.
Henry confirmed he would not be re-signing with Tony Khan’s company and has since made a surprising appearance at MLW’s Battle Riot VI event. In an interview with Forbes, he discussed his AEW stint, revealing his biggest disappointment.
“My least-favorite, man, maybe that I didn’t get to finish with all of the people that I was helping. I felt a sense of abandonment when I left. There’s still people that I mentor and talk to, they call me every day, but then there’s some that I started and I didn’t finish and it just kills me to not be able to have an impact on their life,” Henry said.
