Mark Henry on Jacob Henry’s passion towards wrestling

Mark Henry in a recent interview with TMZ Sports spoke about his son trying out for OU spring football time and was not sure about his WWE start time. He speculated that Jacob could start his career with WWE after his collegiate career.

Henry then continued explaining how passionate his son is about pro wrestling, however, he wishes he completes his degree first and gets his way into wrestling.

Henry said,

“His true passion is pro wrestling. He’s not trying to be the Olympic champion. He said, ‘Dad, I’m not trying to go to the Pro Bowl or win the Super Bowl.’ He said, ‘I want to main event WrestleMania. I wanna go to Japan and be champion.’”

He’s gotta hand me that degree first. Him and my daughter both. I was like, ‘Y’all hand me the degree, I will give you the keys to your inheritance and you can go do whatever you want to do.’”
