– During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry spoke about his expectations for WWE Raw Superstar Austin Theory, who he thinks could become the next face of WWE. Below are some highlights (via Sporstkeeda):

Mark Henry on a WWE talent he thinks could become the next big Superstar: “I was torn and I ended up with Austin Theory because he’s doing something that very few wrestlers get to do, i.e. play Robin to Batman, which is playing Robin to Vince McMahon. Austin (Stone Cold) did it, The Rock did it, Mankind did it, and you go down the list of guys that had serious interactions with Vince, those storylines with Vince: who did they become? The face of the company, ‘The Guy.'”

Henry on Theory: “Austin Theory is on that trajectory. He’s young, he can be groomed, he listens, he wants to be great, and he realizes the position is that he is in, and he’s doing what he’s told and he’ll be a star.”
