Clarification on the Mark Henry story - he may have been provoked by the pushy fan he threw a drink over

In an update, courtesy of the May 3rd Wrestling Observer Newsletter, to my original story of Mark Henry's brush with the law in Ireland, it turns out that he may have been provoked by the pushy fan he threw a drink over.  According to Dave Meltzer's sources, James McClay, the fan in question, had words with Henry before the drink throwing incident over Henry being reluctant to sign his autograph books, with one source saying he called Henry an asshole.  Dave's sources also claimed that Chavo Guerrero didn't egg Henry on, as McClay claimed in the Derry Journal, and instead diffused the situation by encouraging WWE security to chuck McClay out of the hotel bar.

It should be noted though that it is unsurprising that sources within WWE tried to spin the incident in the best light possible, and it was Henry, not the fan, who the police gave a citation to, suggesting that even if Henry was not completely unprovoked, the police believed his reaction was still disproportionate.  Chavo Guerrero’s lack of seriousness in his Twitter posts, where he joked about getting Henry to kill WWE's creative team, didn’t help his credibility as a witness either, in my eyes:

why would I egg on the worlds strongest man?I know&u know he would could kill someone.If anything I protected him by getting him thrown out

Any other questions? If u don't believe me, then follow the lying fan,not me! Why would the drunk fan get thrown out& not Henry?C'mon ppl!

Thank u to all ppl who believe me!If I could get Henry to kill someone,Why wouldn't I have him kill the writing team,not a drunk nobody? lol

ok dirt sheets, how come u didn't pic up my reply to your false story?I know.. cuz u would be proven wrong!! please write the truth not lies
