During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Joe Hendry discussed how he began his career in TNA Wrestling and how audience responses contributed to securing a long-term contract.
Hendry will challenge Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Title tonight at Bound For Glory 2024.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what gave him the confidence to contact TNA: “I was wrestling for a company called North Wrestling, and there was maybe 2-250 people in the crowd, and I did an entrance on Scotty 2 Hotty and the crowd loved it.”
On getting a three-month deal in TNA: “I said ‘I know I can do this; I know I can get over, give me three months to get over. And if I don’t, you can effing fire me.”
On the fan reaction to his return: “I came back through the curtain on the second night and there was a member of [Impact] management who was standing there. But they said ‘We are gonna present you with a long-term deal.’”
