Mark Henry Thinks People ‘Jumped To The Conclusion’ Regarding Avery Styles’ ‘Paying His Dues Controversy’

Mark Henry believes that people ‘jumped to conclusions’ regarding Avery Styles’ ‘paying his dues’ controversy last month.

Last month, many wrestlers would chime in after Arik Cannon would call out Avery Styles for not helping with ring and chair setup at GCW shows. Since then, wrestlers from the indies, retired wrestlers and active WWE talent have commented on the controversy.

While speaking to Clutch Points in a new interview, Mark Henry noted that he thinks that people jumped to the conclusion in the situation.

“I thought that people jumped to the conclusion. You gotta remember that these are kids, and that they’re young, and sometimes you, you tend to wanna do what you wanna do rather than what’s good for everyone, and sometimes you don’t know what’s good for you to do. So I don’t harp on the negativity. I just look at it as it should be a learning experience, and that everybody should go from the ‘I’m sorry,’ to, ‘Now let’s do better,’”

Henry also commented on Avery signing with TNA, noting that Avery ‘needed TNA.’

 “I thought it was good. I’m always glad to hear that a wrestler got a job, because that means that they’re gonna be used, that they’re gonna get a chance to prove in front of an audience that they are worthy of the attention that they get. I think they’ll be happy with him because he’s athletic. He comes from pro wrestling. He’s a legacy kid, so people automatically gonna wanna see him just so they can compare him to his father. That’s just human nature. He’s gonna have every opportunity to prove that he is his father’s son. And everybody that’s not legacy, that’s one element that they don’t have, so, you know, he’s got an advantage, Avery Styles needed TNA. It’s like getting a brand new car. And the last car you had, you barely could make it one block without it overheating, and you have to raise the hood and pour water in it to cool it off. Like, now It’s brand new. So you have a new place to drive around and show everybody what you’re worth,”
