Mark Henry says Sami Zayn has the best promo skills in the game at the moment. The WWE Hall of Famer made his thoughts known on a recent episode of Busted Open Radio.
“I listen to Sami’s banter and the people are now sitting and listening like they’re in church,” Henry said. “They’re not a wrestling audience, they’re an audience. And they’re listening to him, and they’re learning from him, and he is the best promo in wrestling today. There’s no one close. Sami is giving an opinion that is so polarizing that you have to sit there and listen, even if you disagree.”
Zayn’s promos as of late have been critical of the WWE Universe.
“People are sitting and they’re not clapping, they’re not booing and hissing unless he prompts them to. They’re sitting there like, ‘Wow, he’s right.’ He’s like, ‘You point your fingers at me and wrestling, and you expect us to kowtow to every little thing that you do. And when somebody says no, you pout.’ Sami is bringing these points that nobody is talking about.”
Henry believes that Zayn’s comments are striking a chord with some in the audience.
“You can’t generalize a stadium full of 20,000 people, but it hits home to a bunch of them,” Henry continued.
Henry cautioned that Zayn should be placed opposite heels, however.
“Because the people who are wrestling fans feel uncomfortable, and I love it. That’s the entertaining side of what he’s doing and I hope he continues to do that, but more than anything, you cannot put Sami Zayn in the ring with a babyface because I feel he is a babyface. You have got to put a polarizing heel in a situation with Sami Zayn.”
