Jacob Henry To Follow In Father’s Footsteps
Mark Henry has noted previously that his son plans to follow in his footsteps and be a pro-wrestler. Jacob has said that even if he is a Pro Bowl level football player, he would still give it up to go into wrestling.
“If there is going to be a second-generation wrestler to come out of the Henry family, it will probably be my son Jacob, who is a superfan. He really loves wrestling and has said that he doesn’t care if he is a pro bowl player, he’s only going to play for about four or five years and then he’s going to quit playing football and start wrestling,” Mark said of his son.”
“I’m like, “Well, what if you end up being the best guy in the league?’ He’s like, ‘Well, I’m going to have to make enough money early so I can go and establish my life and I can do what I want to do, which is wrestling.’ I’m like, ‘More power to you. When you get there, hopefully, I will still be alive,’ but if I’m not here to enjoy it, I’m sure that the fans will really enjoy it.”
