"Generational talent" - AEW star Mark Henry reacts to major WrestleMania 38 match
AEW star Mark Henry had a hilarious reaction to Sami Zayn, and Johnny Knoxville's "Anything Goes" match at WWE WrestleMania 38.
It's safe to say that while their match was not a wrestling classic, Zayn and Knoxville hit it out of the park in terms of entertainment. Many of the latter's Jackass crew members made memorable appearances during the bout. At one point, Zayn was blindsided by a giant hand at ringside, after which the tide turned fully in Knoxville's favor, culminating in his win.
A Twitter user recently shared an image of the spot and wrote that the giant hand was Mark Henry and Mae Young's son. The AEW star quickly took note of the tweet and responded by jokingly writing that he only produced "generational talent."
"All I do is produce generational talent #Wrestlemania," tweeted Henry.
For those unaware, back in 1999, Mark Henry and Mae Young were involved in a controversial storyline where the latter was pregnant with the former's child. The angle came to a head-scratching conclusion with the legendary female performer giving birth to a hand.
AEW's Mark Henry revealed the storyline was Vince McMahon's idea
A couple of years back, Mark Henry opened up about the storyline and whose idea it was to have a hand as his and Mae Young's baby.
The AEW Rampage backstage presenter revealed that it was none other than Vince McMahon's idea, who booked it just because he found it hilarious.
“I still pick on Vince every time I see him. Are you ever going to tell me what the deal was with the hand? And he just starts laughing, ‘It’s a hand!’ Welcome to the world of pro wrestling. Everything don’t make sense, but it’s entertaining as hell," said Mark Henry
Last year, Hall of Famer left the global juggernaut for AEW, debuting at Double or Nothing 2021. Since then, Henry has worked as a broadcaster, interviewer, and coach for the promotion.
