“I listen to Sami’s banter, and the people are now sitting and listening like they’re in church. They’re not a wrestling audience, they’re an audience. And they’re listening to him, and they’re learning from him, and he is the best promo in wrestling today,” he said. “There’s no one close. Sami is giving an opinion that is so polarizing, that you have to sit there and listen, even if you disagree.”
Henry went on to discuss more about what he loves so much about Zayn, and how he compares to another former legendary WWE superstar. “The things that he’s saying are hitting him, and you can tell who he is affecting…Sami is doing Steve Austin type promos. Steve Austin was going to the ring and not trying to make the crowd feel good. He’s going to get his point across, and you’re going to listen.”
