WWE Hall of Famer themarkhenry  has no interest in following into Power Slap, calling the combat format dangerous and reckless.

Speaking on TMZ Inside The Ring with bransonquirke  and thecjperry, Henry was asked about the possibility of him stepping into a Power Slap competition after Jake Hager signed a six-appearance deal with the promotion.

"I'm not a fan of the Power Slap. It's just asking for a concussion. We live enough of an aggressive existence to not put yourselves in harm's way. If somebody tells me, hey man, that's hot, don't touch it, I'm not touching it. I don't have to feel, smell my own flesh sizzle for me to get the message."

Henry also pushed back on the basic premise of the sport, which forces participants to stand still and absorb a strike without defending themselves.

"If you let somebody hit you, then do you really get the true measure of the man? I'm not letting nobody do me wrong. I'm just not gonna do it. You have to sneak up on me."

When the hosts joked about wanting to see Henry slap somebody during WrestleMania week, Henry warned what would happen to whoever stepped up.

"Have you ever seen a watermelon fall and hit the ground? That's what it would look like."
