Mark Henry hails Swerve Strickland’s AEW All In performance as one of the greatest “work rate” matches ever

The recent AEW All In event in London has generated significant buzz, with many praising the show’s overall quality. Mark Henry, a respected figure in wrestling, shared his thoughts on the “Busted Open Radio” show, focusing particularly on the main event between Swerve Strickland and Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship.

Henry described the match as one of the top five greatest “work rate” matches he has ever seen, noting the relentless pace and continuous action throughout. He was so impressed that he felt compelled to call Strickland in the early hours of the morning to congratulate him on his performance. Henry told Strickland that it was the best he had ever worked, emphasizing the significance of this praise.

Comparing Strickland’s performance to other notable African-American champions like The Rock, Kofi Kingston, and Ron Simmons, Henry stated that Strickland’s work rate might have been the best he had ever seen from an African-American competitor, with only Booker T as a possible exception. This high praise underscores the impact of Strickland’s performance at the event.
