“You Can Do Whatever You Like” – After Fulfilling His Condition, Bodybuilding Icon Arnold Schwarzenegger Gave WWE Legend a Free Pass in 2002

A true legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger has proven himself to be a man of many talents and accolades. After starting as a bodybuilder and making a name for himself in the industry, he found himself as an actor in Hollywood. Schwarzenegger dominated the 1980s and 90s action films.

However, he had an influential political career as well. Schwarzenegger was even a Governor of the state of California and earned respect and fame throughout his career. Besides his political, bodybuilding, and acting career, The Terminator also appeared a few times on WWE.He is even a WWE Hall of Famer.

Recently, an old video of WWE Legend Mark Henry resurfaced on the internet, where he was seen requesting Arnold Schwarzenegger for something. In the video, Henry was seen visiting Arnold Schwarzenegger in Thal, Austria.

There, Henry said, “Arnold, in 1991 you presented me with an award at the Olympic festival when I was 18. I asked you if I could be in a movie. You asked me how much I lifted, and you said that wasn’t enough.”

The WWE Hall of Famer then continued, “In 2002, I won the Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic and I asked you again. And you said, ‘Mark, you can do whatever you like. Arnold, the time is upon us and I am ready.” It’s clear that the Austrian Oak’s words inspired Henry as a free pass and he certainly values it. However, Henry did not get the chance to star in films except MacGruber, where most of the cast were WWE Superstars.

Former WWE Superstar wanted to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator

Speaking to BANG Showbiz in 2013, Ryback revealed that he would like to play the part of a comic book villain. He said, “I’ve always said that I’ve been waiting for the Terminator remake to happen; So I can take on that role. So if anyone out there is listening – the big guy wants to be the Terminator.”
