The Spurs bring an imitation of Rumble the Bison (Thunder’s mascot) to bully the Spurs’ mascot, Coyote, and then WWE HOF, Mark Henry, comes to take care of him.
playoff basketball keeps delivering
Its gotta be confusing in the arena? A) why was nobody making noise when the coyote was holding up that sign?? That crowd did not care. But then your rivals mascot is in your arena beating up your mascot… they’re probably thinking wtf is going on here
I don’t think they have a mic for the crowd. We just hear the audio from the mixing board - so the DJ and the house mic.
Or that’s what I’m hoping for lol
that’s what it is you hear this type of audio on league pass every night.
shoutout that lady who stacks chairs at Warriors games a lot
she’s great entertainment
That’s what it is. Coyote always gets a reaction even in bad regular season games
I thought that was obvious. You can tell by how loud and perfect the music sounds, no echo or reverb from the arena.
I hope so too
Not having an instant cheer for Mark Henry should be a war crime
Nobody knows… but it’s provocative. It gets the people going!!
I feel like spurs fans are just used to coyote antics. Homie is always up to some shit
Was there, crowd noise is definitely not coming thru in this clip
I was there and believe me it was LOUD, the whole game was just loud AF. For some reason they chose to mute the audience in this clip
I was there. There was a little pop but nothing huge. I had to explain to my mom who it was
Can we actually keep the mascot shenanigans. Next year a wanna see luchadors.
EDIT:bad grammar
El Grande Americano will make an appearance
POR VIDA, GUEY!
It better be the REAL EGA not that fraud the Original EGA!
Sounds like my Starbucks order
I don’t want to get paid to lose…. I wanna wheeeen!
robin lopez gonna come back from retirement
SOMEBODY GON GET THEIR ASS BEAT
SUMBODY GONNA GET THEIR WIG SPLIT
SUMBODY GON’ GET THEY ASS KICKED
BEAT HIM UP
BREAK HIS NECK
I STILL GOT PLENTY LEFT IN THE TANK!!
YOU THINK IT’S THAT EASY!?
YOU’RE NEXT DANHAUSEN.
Somebody gonna get they ass licked. Somebody gonna get they dick spit.
The World’s Strongest Man
It’s so cool hearing other wrestlers talk about Mark Henry. I heard Paul White, the Big Show, tell a story about finding him trying to rip a quarter in half, but he was sad because he could only bend it. With his damn fingers. Paul said “I just went into the corner and felt completely insignificant as a man. I don’t think I could bend a quarter with pliers.”
Mark Henry is one of those athletes that makes you wonder how you are the same species.
Mark Henry is legitimately one of the strongest people in history that we have recorded proof of. He still holds the record for largest combined 5 lift total. His squat + deadlift + bench + clean & jerk + snatch is 3,324.5 pounds. All in official, drug-tested competitions.
Yeah the strongest man in the world thing wasn’t a gimmick, he was legitimately the strongest recorded person in the world at one point
Him earning that name through legitimate competition is what made him attractive to the WWF, it wasn’t something they made up later. But him being in the WWF/E is probably why most of us millennial age people know of him.
Yeahhhh thats actually insane
and the anecdote about bending a quarter with his fingers is nuts that M.H was disappointed that he couldn’t rip it in half
Mark could dunk back in the day too.
I think it was Taker telling a story about how their bus needed to leave and a car was in the way so Mark got out, lifted the car a bit, and shimmied it out of the way.
Sexual chocolate
Remember when he got Mae Young pregnant and she gave birth to a hand?
That’s something I haven’t thought about in 25ish years, holy shit the WWE was somethin back then.
If you haven’t thought about it in 25 years then you missed the ending!

Speechless.
My first email with my football and baseball numbers back in the Hotmail days. My HS counselor would not let me put that on scholarship and college applications
You had a good high school counselor lol
I had an incredible HS counselor. He knew I was from a poor family with no direction from home on the next step, so he made sure I got in every school I was interested in and had money flowing in from everywhere to cover it. I know he did great stuff for others but he went above and beyond for me for sure. He was a treasure for a small Arkansas town.
But I’m not sure the email would have really mattered other than give some office folks a solid laugh because it really wasn’t the primary communication yet. I’m pretty sure in 2003⁄4 that line was just there as a courtesy. Only reason most of us had emails was to IM the girls while we were both at sleepovers at richer kid’s houses
Aside from his amazing lifts in legitimate competitions, he legit had to pull off a padlock because the WWE personnel forgot to rig the chain.
Also doing this one handed press of the Thomas Inch Dumbbell. That is like one handed lifting a person. WTF
That’s interesting information about the steel cage.
In pro wrestling those kinds of claims are usually total bs (like Big Show being called the world’s biggest athlete), but Mark Henry has genuinely held world records in weightlifting.
In powerlifting, not in weightlifting. Weightlifting is an Olympic sport which he also did and was successful at and he set some American records for but not world records. Different lifts.
I met him twice. First time I was living in Austin and delivering a ton of barbecue to a catered event the restaurant I worked for was doing for a Monday Night Raw taping in town that week.
Apparently my boss at the time knew Mark, grew up with him, they used to go fishing as kids. This rattled my brain. Got there with a truck full of meats and sides. And mark had him and Great Khali help me unload the stuff. Not some stagehand, not some roadie. No two actual wrestlers. One of whom was 7 foot something. He signed the form and told me to tell my boss he’s gonna swing by his house tomorrow.
The next time I was on a flight from Texas to New York. And there he was, big as a house, and sat in first class. My son was the crying baby on the flight. Soon as we got on the plane he was crying. And who was it that played peek-a-boo with my kid? Mark fuckin Henry. He’s all “oh my kids used to cry all the time on planes and stuff.”
Dude just seems so humble and real. Genuinely a nice guy.
The Spurs need to induct the Thunder into the Hall of Pain.
He killed Randy Orton, after that young me thought he was unstoppable
The dude is frighteningly strong. He’s honestly incredible
The Knicks have Danhausen cursing the Cavs
The Spurs have Mark Henry attacking a Thunder mascot imposter
🎵I believe in Mark Hendry🎵
clap clap
Before, everyone mistook Hendry for Henry.
Now, they mistake Henry for Hendry.
That’s called superstardom.
Damn this shit hard as hell
That theme will always slap.
3 6 Mafia did a live version for Smackdown once. Hit even harder.
For those who never saw it: https://youtu.be/ThfVvz-h-Lw
lol the fact that 3 6 can say “academy award winning artist” as a intro is so incredible. I love them.
I love how the spurs mascot looks like he just snorted a pound of coke, completely zooted out of his mind
You know they say that all mascots are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Rumble and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another mascot, you got a 50⁄50 chance of winning. But I’m a genetic freak and I’m not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Mark Henry to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at the Western Conference Finals, you got a 33 1⁄3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2⁄3 chance of winning, because Mark Henry KNOWS he can’t beat me and he’s not even gonna try! So Rumble, you take your 33 1⁄3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1⁄3 chance of winning at the Western Conference Finals. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2⁄3 per cents, I got 141 2⁄3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Rumble, the numbers don’t lie, and they spell disaster for you at the Western Conference Finals.
It’s just funny how he keeps the math correct as he is getting lost in his own promo.
of course, he comes from a highly educated university
Where he majored in … Gym
Steiner Math never flops baby 💪
Fun Fact: His son just got signed to the New Orleans Saints a couple weeks ago!
I hope he does well but his real future is going to be in wrestling. Steiner cousins are going to go hard
and his entrance still a god damn banger, 3 6 went crazy
Chairshot to the back of the head is brutal
That was ECW af
Joey Styles voice “ OH MY GAAAAWD”!
Got fined for that lol
They are lucky Mark Henry didn’t do his other chair move.
Chairs to the head is what a lot of grew up watching in the 90’s and 2000’s lol.
It’s sexual baby…
ooooohhhhhhh
Sexual Chocolate
Mark Henry HALL OF PAIN
Put this video in my blood cells
I need that clip of Fox’s ‘foul’ on SGA
Just for Shai to try and throw up some bullshit on the very next possession and not get the call lol
If they’re gonna call that might as well have mark Henry come back out and knock him with a chair
Every day the NBA gets closer and closer to being as plot driven and fixed as the WWE was.
SOMEBODY GONNA GET THEIR WIG SPLIT
He should have missed that chair shot, the mascot sell the hit, and the announcers state that SGA will start the next quarter with two free throws
goated theme song
One of the only wrestlers with a Oscar winning artist performing their theme
Edit: Oscar winning
Back when having a theme with personality. Nowadays all wrestling entrance songs sound so formulaic.
In one of the darkest timelines
WWE just can’t help counter-programming AEW
most disgusting promotional tactic of 2026
Acting is almost as good the thunder players
He was so good at going to the floor. Professional level. Amazing
Imagine if Mark Henry worked stiff here and really smacked the guy
That’s what I was hoping for. At least couple more chair shots too.
Maybe a Worlds Strongest Slam
That bison can take a chair damnit
Justified “this is awesome” chants
If you look closely in the background SGA is writhing with sympathy pains.
Let’s go this shit is funny lol
they’re crying about this in the thunder reddit lol
I used to work out at Hyde Park Gym in Austin when Mark was a powerlifter. I once watched Mark help another guy unload a 287 squat rack by picking up the whole rack with one arm while the other guy unloaded the free weights. He was chewing on his weightlifting glove and just casually chatting with the other dude.
This is on brand. Seems to be the direction the NBA is going
Lmao that was fucking awesome
Ain’t never seen Mark Henry bald. It’s a good look on him w/ that beard.
Couldn’t find much but this entrance 🔥
For the unfamiliar. The “worlds strongest man” isn’t a wrestling gimmick. It’s legit.
Mark Henry v The Thomas Inch Dumbbell
That thing weighs the same amount as me. A fully grown man. And he lifted it with one hand over his head. That’s insane.
Lmao as a WWE and NBA enjoyer how’d I miss this
between this, the guy with the Knicks cursing the Cavs and SGA selling the NBA is getting way too close to WWE
ID LIKE WELCOME YOU TO THE HALL OF PAIN
I was hoping Mark Henry was gonna do the world’s strongest slam on the bison 😂
Cool to seen him doing this. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember him on an podcast/interview recently this playoffs where he said he likes the Spurs but identifies as a Laker fan.
Man his jeans look so tight lol
Peggy Hill vibes…
A thunde mascot flop more convincing that SGA
That’s what I do!
Should’ve hit him with at least a World’s Strongest Slam
imagine if he world’s strongest slam the poor bison.
That will be a flagrant foul.
2 FT for SGA.
Markieff Morris getting flashbacks
Love Mark Henry. Dude is in touch with his emotions and he constantly got in trouble with it during his career lol.
Bison joined the Hall of Pain.
This is funny as fuck
The whole world wants OKC to lose bruh 😭
Selling better than some current WWE stars lmao
Now have him do that while flipping bowls on a unicycle
Neat 📸
He should have take a SCM from HBK too !
Playoff basketball baby
Should’ve been HBK🤷♂️
He still works directly for WWE/TKO.
It’s wild since Mark has talent scouted like 4 people into WWE, and he doesn’t even work for it anymore.
Doing it for the love of the game
he went soft with the first chair hit to the stomach but oh god he hit the bison on the back of his head instead of his back
Shaq coming out with a folding chair is wild work.
Love Mark Henry. World’s Strongest man at one point
that’s sexual chocolate Mark Henry to you
Where is Robin Lopez when you need him?
At least in college football depending on who is at home the visiting mascot will actually play along with these.
Rumble sells almost as well as SGA
That’s assault
Now we just need HBK to come out and hit’em with the sweet chin music.
This is a good bit, but I really do not like how the Spurs mascot looks.
What’s up with the spurs mascot’s eyes?
Is it Meth?
Crowd was not hype enough
Shai fell over watching this
Was hoping for an ACME knockoff anvil.
This is the 2nd time i remember seeing a wrester in an NBA promo…HBK was legendary was well
Put some respect on Sexual Chocolates name.
Oh shit, that guy talked to my small college class on like the psychology of sports or something 20 years ago. I had no clue who the f he was since I never watched wrestling but all the WWE fans in the class were super excited/hyped up as soon as the teacher introduced him. Was a super nice and polite dude so it was funny seeing how different his WWE persona was when I looked him up afterwards
That’s Hand Young’s father
“You think it’s that easy?! I gotta LOT left in the tank!”
Brought out offseason james harden
This is such a weird sentence, I love it
Hahahahaahahaha … Brilliant.
You mean Sexual Chocolate.
I guess no one learned their lesson from Connor Mcgregor giving the heat mascot a concussion from a similar work that didnt involve a chair
lol Mark Henry is a legend
It’s what I do!
One of the scariest humans ever, IMO. Dude ripped a padlock apart with his bare hands during a cage match.
Just like the NBA itself.. embellishing everything
In front of the OKC bench too 😆
Incredible theatre
Fitting that we have a sweet wwe fight involving OKC personnel !
The real cheating is bringing the nuns, they should be banned.
We got NBA populism propaganda before GTA 6
Mark Henry showing up to defend the Coyote from a fake Rumble is the best playoff mascot beef we’ve had in years. The Spurs are having way too much fun with this series.
How would the NBA respond if Mark were to give SGA the world’s strongest slam
Good grief, I’m glad our team doesn’t have a mascot that we have to watch do stupid shit each game lol
A wild mark henry appears
The rest of the world mind can’t even begin to understand this.
Should have come out in the salmon jacket, befriending Rumble and dropping him with the World’s Strongest Slam.
Mark walking like its hurts to do so
Whoever runs this for the Spurs is killing it.
Yo Mark Henry is a big fucking dude. I’m saying that as someone who is 6’2 and 300 pounds.
do you think players on the bench see this happening lol? you think like keldon johnson is like “yooo they just brought out mark henry guys”
Someone said our fans attacked the Spurs mascot. Stupid rumor.
And the crowd doesn’t care. Never mind any potential noise being drowned out by the house audio, all of the fans are just standing there, no booing, cheering, clapping, or anything
Brought out the world’s strongest man for the nuns
that is an ugly ass fake bison mascot.. lol
Is this a shoot?
WWE has a hall of fame?
Stone Cold a Spurs fan. And the The Kid.
Welcome to the Hall of Pain
Only in America folks!
This is dumb as shit.
Man that is super cheesy. Also, I have zero idea who that guy or any wwe wrestler is because I’m a grown man and don’t watch make believe wrestling. Everything about this is cringe and just embarrassingly lame
Mark Henry was severely under rated as a wrestler in his day.
And that entrance music truly hit hard.
He’s always out at the UT pregame tailgate. Cool guy.
