Mark Henry has pledged to donate his brain for CTE research upon his passing. 

Ex-wrestler Chris Nowinski --  who is also co-founder and executive director of the Concussion Legacy Foundation -- was a guest on today’s episode of SiriusXM’s Busted Open and discussed concussion research with his former WWE colleague Mark Henry.

"The best way to study the brain is after they pass away, so you can know on a cellular level what’s happening," Nowinski said, according to WrestleZone. "We just got our 700th brain donation and we’re constantly getting athletes to pledge [their brains], so we can build awareness and do studies while they are still alive. We have 5,000 athletes that have pledged their name and it’s important to get famous athletes [to spotlight the issue]."

"The Worlds Strongest Man" then chimed in and pledged his own brain to the foundation. "I definitely want to go on record that I’m donating my brain and I hope that something good can come out of y’all having my brain," Henry said. "Maybe it will help with how things work in the future that will benefit my kids and everyone else’s kids. We want the future to be better for our families and your families, speaking to the fans."
