During a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, WWEâs most eminent warriors, GUNTHER and Chad Gable, continued to imprint their names into the annals of wrestling history. Their electrifying performance not only mesmerized fans worldwide but also moved Mark Henry, the Worldâs Strongest Man, to tears.
As reported on âBusted Open Radioâ, Mark Henry expressed his overwhelming emotions caused by the spectacular main event, where GUNTHER defended his Intercontinental Championship against the astoundingly talented Chad Gable.
âItâs not everyday that a wrestling match makes me choke up,â the emotional Henry confessed. âGable and GUNTHER have achieved what many bouts over the years havenât â they moved me to tears. And it wasnât the match per se, rather the raw excitement, the palpable tension, and the sheer joy of witnessing something extraordinary unfold before my eyes,â he elaborated.
When Gableâs young daughter couldnât hold back her tears after his defeat, Henry admitted to being similarly moved. His emotional outpour paints a vivid picture of how profoundly professional wrestling, done right, can affect its audience.
Henry highlighted the essence of wrestling â itâs not just about the muscle-bound men and their impressively tough female counterparts. Itâs about the emotional connection, the feelings it evokes and the thrill it stirs within us. âThatâs what wrestling is all about,â the Worldâs Strongest Man added. âItâs about making you feel something profound. And boy, did those tears roll down last night.â
While Gableâs attempt to clinch the championship was commendable, the night ultimately saw GUNTHER triumphing. Subsequent to his win over Gable, GUNTHER has etched his name into the wrestling history books as the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, shattering a 35-year-old record once held by The Honky Tonk Man.
