Ryback recently tweeted that wrestling is fake and the championships are just props. While this is an accurate, if simplistic statement, some people, especially those in the business, find it extremely offensive to say this. One of those people is former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry, who on the Busted Open radio show he co-hosts addressed Ryback’s tweet and called him a “bitter ass” and an “assh*le.” Henry would also refer to Ryback’s reputation as a dangerous worker who only speaks the way he does because he failed to become a world champion. He’d finish saying he owes the wrestling world an apology. You can listen to Henry’s comments in full below.
Following Henry’s condemnation, Ryback again took to Twitter and posted multiple tweets claiming he was being sarcastic and loves the wrestling business. He’d then return a few hours later, saying that Henry is a liar and he has now blocked him on Twitter. Mark Henry and Ryback shared a ring several times, with their most famous match coming at WrestleMania XXIX in 2013. Based on some of Ryback’s tweets, it seems the pair had a positive relationship at one time. However, with Mark Henry, a WWE legend, and Ryback being very outspoken about the company, it seems unlikely the pair will be exchanging Christmas cards anytime soon.
