• Becky Lynch Fires Back At Mark Henry For His Criticism
During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry gave his thoughts on RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch’s attitude on WWE TV ever since her big win in the main event of WrestleMania 35.
Below is what Henry said:
“Let’s go back to the Becky that was the underdog, that didn’t get an opportunity, that work her whole life, and then somewhere along the lines they go to where The Rock used to talk about himself in the third person. Don’t do that.
That arrogance thing is not for her, that’s for Baron Corbin, that’s for Sami Zayn. If you want to be over, don’t be an a$$hole.
Be the person that’s like, ‘Look, I’m fighting for the fans. I never had anybody stand up for me.’ That’s what I want her to be, ‘Nobody ever stood up for me. I had to do it myself.’ That’s what I want out of Becky. That’s the way it was.”
Becky Lynch went on to post the following on Twitter:
“A woman who told the world she was coming after the posters, the titles, the billboards and the headlines, and then DOES IT is “arrogant” now? I said it, I did it, and I backed it all up. Live with it.”

Mark Henry then posted the following on Twitter:
“I said my truth as a fan and analyst ! I like to feel for my good guys and women! When they say what the bad guys and girls say it comes across as over confidence. Which in the real world makes you heel!
I never said she was not over period. I said the opposite, Jim Cornette, Danny Davis, Rip Rogers, Tom Pritchard, Arn Anderson, Pat Patterson an many other Master psychologist have taught me to put the heel over and over come their dominance by surviving an out wrestle them.
Continuing thusly winning the crowd getting respect for persevering and doing it fair. That makes you the good guy or woman. I’ll take my lessons to the grave and will NEVER take advice from social media trolls. I am correct puppets LOSE!!!”
