Mark Henry Responds to Accusations Over All Caribbean Wrestling Scandal

WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry is the CEO of All Caribbean Wrestling but the company was recently under fire for unpaid bookings and last minute cancellations as many talent called out the promotion. Mark Henry was also blamed for the same and he has now shot down all accusations against him.

While speaking on the Kayfabe podcast, Mark Henry responded to complaints from some wrestlers about last-minute cancellations and unpaid bookings at All Caribbean Wrestling. He said the problems started before he joined the company and made it clear he had nothing to do with them. He also said the company is Black-owned, and while many people say they want to support Black businesses, they often just tear them down instead.

Mark said he works with a good team, and although someone in the company made mistakes, he wasn’t involved in that. He explained that he’s helped many great wrestlers who went through tough times but still worked hard to become successful.

Henry said that just like in any big company, when something goes wrong, someone has to face the consequences. In this case, the company took action. He didn’t share the details, but he did say the person responsible is now getting counseling. Everyone has problems but they’re trying to fix them.

“The same thing happened at All Caribbean. There were things that went on before I got there. I had nothing to do with it, and honestly, the company had nothing to do with it either—it’s a Black-owned company.

Everyone talks about wanting Black success, Black ownership, but not everyone wants to support it—they just want to tear it down.

I’ve got a great team that works with me. There were things that happened with a certain individual in the company, but I had nothing to do with that. I’ve worked with dozens of incredible performers, and people don’t realize how much trouble some of them went through, and how hard they worked to become the polished professionals they are today.

Anytime a major company has a problem, you see a hand slap come down. We had to do that too—we had to take action inside the company.

I’m not going to explain what the punishment or process was. What I can say is that the individual involved is getting counseling now. We all have issues, and we’re going to work through them.”

To the people complaining on social media, Mark Henry said they can share their stories. But he warned that if anyone falsely says he hurt them or helped cause the problem, he will stand up for himself and won’t take it lying down. He doesn’t avoid tough situations since he faces them directly. He believes he’s been successful because he lives a good life and treats people with respect.

Henry asked people not to judge All Caribbean Wrestling just because a few people had bad experiences. He said there’s another person running the company too, and that person is on a break right now but will be back on June 28. When that happens, they’ll release a statement to say sorry and promise to do better. The person who caused the issues also wants to improve.

“For everyone on social media, I tell them—you’re entitled to your story. Say what you want to say. But as long as you don’t say Mark Henry hurt you, or that Mark Henry enabled the problem or helped it continue, you’ll be fine.

But the moment you do, I’m coming for you. I don’t run from it—I run to it. Anybody who knows me knows I’ve succeeded in everything I’ve done. That’s because I live right and treat people right.

I don’t want people judging All Caribbean Wrestling just because a few people were upset. They may have their reasons, but this isn’t a one-person company. The other person running the company is currently on sabbatical, and he’s coming back on June 28th. We’ll release a statement then, just to let everyone know we’re sorry, we want to do better, and that the individual involved wants to do better too.”

The World’s Strongest Man also talked about how he has always supported women in wrestling. He mentioned wrestlers like Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Thunder Rosa, Charlotte Flair, and Mercedes Moné. He even said he mentored Serena Deeb from the very beginning of her career.

In the end, Mark Henry said he can’t control everyone, and he shouldn’t have to. He described himself as a kind and caring person who wants everyone to succeed.

“Ask Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair, Thunder Rosa, Charlotte Flair, Mercedes Moné—all the women know I’ve always supported women’s wrestling. Serena Deeb? I’ve mentored her since the first day she wrestled. The problem is, I can’t control every human being. And honestly, I shouldn’t—that wouldn’t be right. I’m a kind spirit. I’m a healer. I want everyone to win.”

Mark Henry has made it clear he isn’t taking the blame for anything that happened in the company since he had nothing to do with the issues. Regardless, we’ll have to see if the company can bounce back from the controversy.
