Why Mark Henry Missed RAW + Evan Bourne Out 4 Months

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

— To follow up on our report from last night, Evan Bourne is expected to be out of action for at least four months with having shoulder surgery.

— Michael Cole noted on commentary during last night’s RAW that Mark Henry could not be on hand for the event because he was tending to personal matters. According to www.kbtx.com, the RAW Superstar’s older brother, Patrick “Shorty” Henry, is fighting for his life after suffering a stroke on Oct. 3. He has been in a medically induced coma in the intensive care unit at the College Station Medical Center in College Station, Texas since. Henry also had two brain surgeries to stop bleeding. Friends and family are taking turns talking to “Shorty,” waiting for him to wake up. “Keep your prayers coming. God works miracles,” says Jennifer McGrath, Patrick’s wife. “We have faith and we need him back. His babies need him.” We wish big Mark the best in these hard times.
