Mark Henry says he will sue Lio Rush

Lio Rush recently claimed that Mark Henry tears down African American wrestlers. Henry promptly refuted his claim, revealing that he founded an elite group of African American wrestlers. They apparently asked Henry if he wanted them to “come for” Lio Rush, to which Mark said no.

 


 

TMZ spoke to Mark Henry after Lio Rush accused him of repeatedly lying on his podcast. Henry is considering taking Rush to court.

“If you go down to the performance center at NXT, probably 25 I think, people of color in the facility, probably about 80 plus percent of them I helped get them there. I mean, it’s completely opposite.”

“He knew that I get a lot of attention. I have a lot of followers and he released the album, or song, or something, and he wanted to use that to get some attention. Get some buzz.”

“If he would’ve called me, I would’ve done it anyway. We would’ve just worked it. I would of really talked it up, we would of made world news, but now he said something slanderous.”

“And, you can’t question my blackness. Like nobody can question my blackness, pull my black card. No, not allowed. Nobody.”

“My lawyer went to Harvard. I don’t know what kinda lawyers he’s dealing with, but I got those Ivy League people around me, and they’re pissed!”

“He needs to apologize.”

It seems Lio Rush has managed to get himself into a lot of trouble. It is likely he will have to apologize unless he wants the situation to further escalate into a legal battle.

We will keep you updated on this ongoing situation.
