However, that didn't mean that the long-term WWE Chairman wasn't a fan of the once World's Strongest Man.

"Well, I don't know, I didn't ever hear that. I mean, Bruce was office personnel, he's in there. If he says something, we would definitely know but that's something I never did hear. I heard one time that he was gonna drop it to Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar was going to end the streak. Never end anything hear about Mark Henry though. But don't get me wrong, Mark Henry was great then, Vince liked Mark," said Teddy Long. [22:19 - 22:43]
