AEW and Ring Of Honor star Anthony Henry recently opened up about how the Jacksonville-based promotion had changed his life and saved his career in professional wrestling.
The 39-year-old wrestler has wrestled in multiple promotions. In 2021, he signed with WWE. After a few matches in 205 Live, Anthony Henry was released from his contract. He then signed with AEW the same year. Henry took to Twitter to share how his career has grown over the past two years.
“@AEW saved my career in professional wrestling. I went from the highest high of working my dream job for WWE, to the lowest low, 7 months later, when I was released. I had a 2 year lease on a house I had to abandon, and a daughter I had to, yet again, uproot.
“I went back home to Augusta defeated. I was injured, while with them, and was released and left to figure it out on my own, as all treatment was stopped. I wanted to quit wrestling all together. Then I was messaged about coming up to work an AEW dark taping.
“I worked with Eddie Kingston and the rest is history. Wrestling is wrestling and nothing is ever perfect. It is a chaotic business. However, I have been treated so well by AEW, and I am so thankful they came around and helped me.
“Point is, whether you like WWE or AEW, understand that it is okay to simply support the industry as a whole, & those in it. Maybe do not attack people because they are happy in a promotion that you feel a certain way about. I promise no promotion is without flaws. Just be kind,” Anthony Henry tweeted.
