Jazmyn Nyxs boyfriend BrytonConstantin recently drew the ire of many after he called pro wrestling fake. This has now led to a response from Mark Henry, who went scorched earth on Bryton.
While speaking on Inside the Ring, Mark Henry was asked about the viral video where Jazmyn Nyxs boyfriend repeatedly called wrestling fake. Henry admitted he didnt like the video at all but said the real issue lies within wrestling itself.
Henry explained that the business often lets in people who dont belong, comparing it to marrying off a daughter to a random stranger. According to Henry, just because someone looks good or has accomplishments outside wrestling doesnt mean they deserve a place in the industry.
The Worlds Strongest Man talked about his own entry into WWE, noting that when the company discovered him, he already carried himself like a wrestler; posing, flexing, and cutting promos naturally. That passion, he said, is what sets real talent apart.
On the other hand, many today enter NXT or the indies without ever being true wrestling fans, and Henry sees that as a serious problem. He admitted he once fell into the trap of recruiting based on appearance, like when scouting at the Arnold Classic, but has since changed his approach to focus on people who genuinely love wrestling.
Henry went scorched earth on Nyxs boyfriend, dismissing him as someone riding her coattails for attention. He said the man isnt famous, hasnt achieved anything in wrestling, and comes off as a parasite chasing clicks and gambling app money without any real talent. For Henry, the blame ultimately falls on wrestling for allowing people like that in the door.
Jazmyn Nyx is no longer part of WWE and she always made it clear that wrestling wasnt necessarily her true passion, either way.
Nonetheless, Mark Henrys response shows how much veterans care about protecting wrestling. His scathing words about Bryton Constantin make it clear that calling wrestling fake is seen as disrespectful to both the wrestlers and the fans and we hope other people listen to what Henry had to say.
