Mark Henry Thinks Mickie James Is Closer To WWE Hall Of Fame
Mark Henry is of the belief that Mickie James could be WWE Hall of Fame-bound.
WWE turned a lot of heads in the wrestling industry on the Jan. 7 episode of SmackDown. The promotion announced participants in the women’s Royal Rumble match but one name, in particular, stood out from the pack.
It was announced that current Impact Knockouts Champion Mickie James will be appearing at this year’s Royal Rumble. Furthermore, WWE has acknowledged Mickie as the Knockouts Champion.
While the talk with Mickie’s surprise WWE return has been centered around cross-promotion, Mark Henry is more intrigued at the thought of a Hall of Fame induction. Here’s what he said on Busted Open Radio.
“She does [deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame] and without a doubt, she’s been one of the great women’s wrestlers of all time, wrestlers period. I mean, she got the job done.
“She helped the business to be better and not many people can say that. Even if it’s not about the titles, which she held a lot of them, there’s no reason that she shouldn’t be put in the forefront and in the hallowed halls of the Hall of Fame.
“I think this will be a great step.”
Mickie recently had a successful title defense against Deonna Purrazzo in the main event of Impact Wrestling‘s Hard To Kill PPV. This means she is scheduled to make her Royal Rumble appearance as the Impact Knockouts Champion.
