WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics, including the segment between Jeff Jarrett and MJF from this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite turning physical when MJF mentioned the late great Owen Hart.
Henry said, “I knew he was gonna get his ass kicked when he mentioned Owen [Hart]. There are things you just don’t talk about. You don’t talk about people’s kids, their momma, their best friend, their dog, their cat, you leave their personal loves alone unless you want a fist to the mouth.”
On Jarrett’s verbal shots at MJF in the segment:
“I thought it was good for Jeff to point out MJF being an ‘also-ran.’ He went there. I don’t see it all the way being true but storyline-wise, if they don’t start MJF back up, he’s gonna be like everybody else.”
On MJF losing a bit of his aura since he lost the World Title:
“Roman Reigns is still Roman Reigns, MJF is not. And it’s not MJF’s fault. The reason that that segment was successful was because of MJF and because of Jeff Jarrett.”
On how he would have booked the Dynamite main event between Jon Moxley vs. Powerhouse Hobbs:
“If I was going to structure the match, I would’ve had Hobbs not get jumped. I would’ve had him go at Claudio. I’d have had him go at them guys and then in the process when he came in, the referee is getting everybody back and Marina throws the briefcase, he gets hits, briefcase slides, Moxley hits him with the finish and then you get a better finish.”
On the importance of booking good stories around the matches:
“[For example,] I love how fast Darby [Allin] moves and how interesting his look is. But, if you don’t put a good story around Darby, it looks like, ‘Why did he bump off of that thing he did jumping backwards?’”
