Back in the late 1990s, Shawn Michaels and his backstage group, The Kliq, were notorious for pulling pranks and instigating conflicts with fellow wrestlers. Appearing on the recent episode of Six Feet Under With Mark Calaway, Mark Henry shared a side-splitting story involving Shawn Michaels and The Kliq.

The reason Mark Henry issued a threat

The former World Heavyweight Champion said, "I got in trouble, and they sent me to Canada because I threatened to kill Shawn Michales and the entire Kliq."

Henry broke his ankle in the early days of his career, and he had to use crutches to move. However, somebody backstage hid his crutches, pulling off a prank on him. When Shawn Michaels and The Kliq approached and asked him about the crutches, Henry was under the impression that the popular backstage group tricked him by stashing the crutches away.

It didn't sit well with The World's Strongest Man, who was irked by the whole situation. At that point, he issued a serious threat to The Heart Break Kid and his friends. Henry further warned Shawn that he was too small to be asking about his crutches. Seeing the anger of the behemoth, an anxious Vince McMahon, who was in charge of WWE at that time, sent Mark Henry to Canada.

However, Henry revealed that Shawn and The Kliq were not associated with the prank. Later, he discovered that Undertaker's former manager, Paul Bearer, hid his crutches. Hearing the whole story during his podcast, The Undertaker, aka Mark Calaway, chuckled.
