Mark Henry has been considered one of the most accomplished wrestling stars of all time. He has been in the business for a long time and now lends his expertise to the development of young talent.
Mark Henry, a talent scout, coach, and commentator currently employed by AEW, strongly disagrees with the statement of CM Punk being bad for the business. Henry stressed this week on “Busted Open Radio” how crucial Punk is to the professional wrestling industry.
“He’s not a cancer. He’s opinionated, but he’s also a teacher and supporter. I’ve seen him do stuff he didn’t have to do. He just did it because he loved the business and he wanted to make that wrestler better.”
“I think that he’s good for pro wrestling. At the end of the day, he’s good for business. He’s good for the education of those young wrestlers he took a liking to.
“They’re gonna have to sit together without Tony, just them guys and not throw hands. If and when it comes to that, it’s something he’d love to help with. “I love all parties involved, I would love to mediate the situation. But keep the issue on the issue, and not make it personal … Make it about wrestling. Make it about the issue at hand, and not the individual. Then you can solve it.”

As he is out with a triceps injury, CM Punk and The Elite have not patched things up. In the coming months, CM Punk might potentially join AEW once again. We’ll have to wait and watch what’s in store for the Best in the World in regard to AEW.
