So, I’m going to drop the mic real quick and aye make sure to keep it out on OU Wrestling. Imma let him take over for the rest of the night. But hey, I just wanted to let you all know that it’s official, I’m locked in, I’m here, and the future of the Henry generation is upon you. I’m just letting you know right now,” Jacob Henry said.
