Jazmyn Nyx parted ways with WWE last week after the two sides couldn’t come to an agreement over her salary. She was attacked by Lainey Reid on last week’s NXT and written off TV.
A video recently surfaced online in which Nyx’s boyfriend Bryton Constantin repeatedly called pro wrestling “fake.”
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry saw the video and went on a rant about it during an interview on TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast. He said “random schmucks” shouldn’t be allowed in the wrestling business and called Bryton a parasite.
“I didn’t like it at all. But it’s our fault, because we’re the ones that let them in the business. Let her in the business, let him in the business. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. There’s a lot of people that you shouldn’t bring in the business.
It’s like who’s gonna marry your daughter. You gonna let some random schmuck marry your daughter? That’s what we do in wrestling. We let random schmucks in wrestling, female and male, because they look good or they accomplished something.
Just because you accomplished something doesn’t make you a candidate for the trust of our industry. That girl didn’t love wrestling.
And her boyfriend, he’s just gonna go wherever she is because she’s helping him get notoriety – that motherf**ker ain’t famous. Don’t nobody care about him. Who did he ever beat? What did he ever do?
He is a nothing. He is a nobody. Why would you get mad at somebody that is a flea, that’s a tick, that’s a parasite, they’re one of those sucking things that stick to fish. What value do I care? You’re trying to make dollar off of gambling apps because you don’t have no real talent and no job. I’ll expose you. Don’t do it.”
WWE was mainly signing stars from the independent circuit during NXT’s Black and Gold era, so most of them were passionate wrestling fans chasing a dream.
Since the rebranding of NXT, the company has been recruiting athletes from all kinds of sports, which means that several names on the roster weren’t wrestling fans before they got signed and are not as passionate about the business.
