Mark Henry Compared Dominik Mysterio To Other Legendary WWE Superstars
Plenty of longtime veterans have had praise for Dominik Mysterio in recent months. Chavo Guerrero believes Mysterio is progressing far beyond where he should be at this stage in his career, and Road Dogg called Mysterio a “huge star” due to getting the most heat out of anyone on the roster.
Speaking on a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry also heaped praise on the young star, comparing him to other legacy talents such as The Rock and Randy Orton.
“I put him in the same category as The Rock and the Harts and people that come from pro wrestling,” Henry said. “They have [a] legacy — Randy Orton. There are things that Dominik does that are just intuitive. You can tell he just picked it up. It’s not trained. I mean, you have a lot of reps, so I guess you can consider it to be trained, but he just does stuff that I’m like, ‘That’s a kid out there playing with his toys.’ He knows what he’s doing.
And all those years of watching his dad,” he continued, “and all those years of knowing what the bad guy did, knowing all of those things of what his dad had to fight through to get to be who he was. I think it’s paying dividends for him.” (h/t WrestlingInc)
