Lio Rush, who was recently released by WWE, called out Mark Henry for his public criticisms that have continued since their discussion last year.
The tweets from Rush came as a response to Henry doing a Q&A on Instagram where he said there was no heat between himself and Rush even though he tried to help him navigate the WWE system, but didn’t take the advice.
Rush would go on to demand that Henry bring him on his show so both Superstars can have a conversation and let the public take a side.
Rush responded to fans in the comments asking if the conversation with Henry should be in private, but he responded saying they already had a conversation and Henry took it upon himself to make it public.
The series of tweets would continue with Rush calling Henry egotistical for claiming he knows more about the system and how all the respect he had for the WWE Hall of Famer ended once he took the issue to his podcast.
Mark Henry has yet to respond to Rush’s comments at the time of this writing.
History of Lio Rush & Mark Henry’s heat
Back in 2019, Rush did an interview with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful following rumors that the former RAW Superstar had backstage heat. Rush criticized WWE for certain hazing practices, his lack of pay as Bobby Lashley’s manager, and how the company makes wrestlers pay for their own rental cars and hotels.
Mark Henry would discuss the issue on his radio show, SiriusXM Busted Open, claiming he pulled Rush aside to ask what was wrong, but Rush told him there wasn’t an issue.
Herny went on to say that Rush was spending his money poorly and that wrestlers back in Henry’s day would’ve told Rush to drive Lashley around and to get water for him.
Rush was released by WWE in April 2020 due to budget cuts stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The former Cruiserweight Champion was rumored to be retiring from professional wrestling and addressed the topic in a recent interview.
