Who is Henson’s tag team partner Drew ‘Soft Paws’ Sarian?

Although he primarily worked as an independent wrestler, Henson often had tag team matches with Drew ‘Soft Paws’ Sarian.

Henson and Sarian remained close friends and collaborators.

“I don’t know how I’m going to live the rest of my life without you,” Sarian posted in a tribute to the late Henson.

“Today was the first day I woke up knowing I didn’t have my tag team partner, my best friend, the funniest, most outrageous and ridiculous person I’ve ever met in my life.

“I spent almost 24 hours straight with you and a few hours after we parted ways, you were gone.

“My entire adult life has been sharing memories with you.

“The fact that I will never be able to tell any of our inside jokes out loud to anyone ever again hurts me.

“That I won’t hear your laugh again when we both see or hear something that ‘tickles’ us.

“It may seem ridiculous to some, but it feels like I have lost my partner, my heterosexual life partner.

“I love you, Scott William Henson. You were my best friend and I will love you forever.”
