Appearing on Austin’s 1300 The Zone radio station, Henry read a statement where he doubled down on his original opinion that Syko Stu should've learned how to win a shoot fight if he were to make it in the wrestling business. Some online pushed back hard, accusing Henry of defending Jackson or minimizing the violence. He responded directly to those accusations.

>“What I said has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with ignorance about the wrestling business,” Henry said. “First off, it’s impossible for me to be a racist, because I would have to have power over someone, and in a bigoted way. I’m not a bigot, and I don’t have power over people… The people that know me know who I am as a man and as a person.”

>“What it is is bullying. It’s just like the situation of Raja going to wrestling to try to be a wrestler, and not being completely informed on what wrestling is.”

>“Syko Stu didn’t deserve what he got, but every action has a reaction, and there’s consequences for everything that you put out in this universe.”

>“You got these veteran guys drinking alcohol before the show, and then they come out there, and you hit one of the kids… upside the head with a beer can. He’s supposed to understand and process all this information. No, it’s not going to happen.”
