Mark Henry Believes That Nepotism In Pro Wrestling Is A Good Thing
Mark Henry explains in a new interview that his belief is that nepotism in pro wrestling is actually a good thing for the industry.
In recent months, the topic of nepotism in pro wrestling has once again become a topic of conversation following controversy surrounding AJ Styles’ son Avery and him not ‘paying his dues.’
While speaking to Clutch Points in a new interview, Mark Henry was asked about nepotism in the world of pro wrestling.
“No, it’s good, I mean, Charlotte Flair, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Dominik Mysterio. Like, you can go down the list; there are 10 or 15 wrestlers whose father or mother was involved in the industry. And when you know and understand the terminologies, and you know what the travel is gonna be like, because as a kid, you actually did some of it with your parents. Like, there, there’s a lot of stuff that all of the people in the office know: they know who you are, and they know that if you make a mistake, that it’s okay for them to go, ‘Hey, I’m a little worried about Jacob [For example]. You might wanna talk to him about, ‘Jacob, he don’t want that.’ He wants everything to be good, and he’s gonna work like he wants everything to be good, I think that is an advantage because people that know me know that I’m about business. I’m about the industry, how to make things better, how to increase relationships. That’s what my son is. He’s a reflection of me, and he knows how sensitive I am to philanthropy, and picking up the mantle for helping people that don’t have anything. So he’s gonna do more than his share because he knows who his father is and what his father did to help the industry, and he’s gonna be a part of that,”
Elsewhere in another recent interview, Henrys spoke about potentially coming back for a match with Oba Femi. You can read more about that here.
