Thought this was pretty interesting. Mark Henry was on Sam Roberts's wrestling podcast this week. Pretty much said he's gonna be at the shows keeping things in the locker room on lock due to bullshit with today's talent backstage.

If you don't wanna listen then I got it transcribed for you since I was bored. H is Henry, S is Sam.
He goes on and talks more. He said that BSK was the guys holding this order back in the day. Taker and the dudes didn't take shit.
What do you think?
EDIT: Henry also suggested that he'd tell Vince to fine guys if it came to that. He doesn't care if he's called a stooge either.

H - "Me being gone this last year and a half there's a lot of stuff that's happened in this locker room that never would have happened under my watch."
S - "Like what? You don't have to get specific with names but as far as you want to go."
H - "People arguing, fussing about stuff, there's been some 'disrespecting my wife or my girlfriend' type of stuff. There's been a couple of people be habitually late in which Vince hates but he doesn't have Taker or me. Booker's not there, only at tv. Big Show's been injured. All the guys that hold people's face to the fire aren't there."
S - "Was Roman that guy?"
H - "Roman was kinda that guy, he was kinda getting there."
S - "Cena maybe?"
H - "No. John's on his bus off to the next place."
S - "He's got so much going on."
H - "Yeah, he's got so much to do but he will go 'ok guys, this place is a pig sty, don't leave your trash' you know.
S - "Right."
H - "These young guys now, somebody told me that they asked some young guy to clean up and they said 'man it ain't my job to clean up.'"
S - "Wow."
H - "That shit is finna come to an abrupt stop cause I will be at all tvs, at all ppvs now."
S - "Oh really?"
H - "Yeah and this is really new like the last 2 weeks. Every ppv, there's gonna be issues with people in the locker room. We finna reestablish the leadership chain of command."
S - "So you're going into all ppvs and tv and whatnot and you're taking a more behind the scenes roll of -"
H - "Just to keep everybody's checks and balances I mean there's no title for it."
S - "Wow. Just so your presence is there."
H - "Yeah."
S - "That's not a position that's existed."
H - "Right, I mean you never had to do that."
S - "But you actually like that."
H - "I like structure. I like discipline. I like people doing the right thing. I don't like the perception of me walking into the room and people being like 'oh my God it's one of those wrestlers' because somebody screwed it up, the image. They tarnished the way people see us. Back in the old days guys used to wreck hotel rooms, trash rental cars and all of that dumb stuff and when I came into wrestling they were like 'we're, we're out of cars' 'you're one of those wrestlers no?' and it was like that and we had to recreate and re-establish trust. Me, The Rock and Kane and D-Lo Brown, Brian Christopher, Scotty 2 Hotty you know the young guys back then 20 years ago. We were reaping the benefits of people being buttholes."
S - "Right and you had to fix that and now you have to go in and make sure the buttholeness doesn't return."
H - "Right, I don't want it to regress. We've worked too hard man."
S - "And your purpose was not so that it was good for you but your purpose was what the industry standard should be."
H - "And justifiably so."
S - "Like what? You don't have to get specific with names but as far as you want to go."
H - "People arguing, fussing about stuff, there's been some 'disrespecting my wife or my girlfriend' type of stuff.
