Mark Henry took to his SiriusXM Busted Open Radio podcast to leap tremendous praise on the main event match at TLC between Becky Lynch, Charlotte & Asuka. He went as far as to say that it solidified his belief that the women can main event Wrestlemania this year. Here are the highlights:
On The TLC Match:
Wow. It left me speechless. I sat there and Jacob asked me, ‘Dad, what did you think?’ I said, ‘Jacob, that might have been the best women’s match I ever saw.’ He said, ‘Better than WrestleMania?’ I think it was better than Charlotte and Asuka. He said, ‘Wow,’ and that was sort of the match that sparked my interest in the women’s division. I realized that the women’s matches could main event WrestleMania. That match was as good as any on that show.
On The Growth Of The Women’s Division In 2018:
Here we are a year later and women are ending the show consistently. Guys are stepping up and doing really well, but I think it is out of their control. These women are so ambitious, and have been held back for so long, that they are pouring out two generations of wrestling in just a short amount of time. It is paying dividends because I am watching all the women’s matches. I remember a time, if it was a bra and panties match I would turn and watch football, but now? You don’t turn [the channel], that’s the meat of the show now.
