Joe Hendry Focused on Driving Record Business for TNA as World Champion – TNA World Heavyweight Champion Joe Hendry has made it clear that his mission as champion goes beyond in-ring accomplishments—he’s focused on helping elevate TNA to new commercial heights.
Hendry captured the TNA World Championship at TNA Genesis this past January, marking a major milestone in his career. Since then, he’s continued to defend the title against top-level competition, including preparing for a high-profile title defense against WWE NXT’s Trick Williams at the upcoming NXT Battleground.
In a recent interview with WrestleTalk, Hendry spoke about the sense of purpose and pride he feels as the company’s top champion.
“It’s hugely rewarding. There was a period of time where a lot of colleagues were getting signed and I was kind of wondering if and when things would happen for me. But I was enjoying the process of what I was doing so much and I was so focused on getting the best reactions that I could from the fans, that all the opportunities came as soon as I shifted my focus into just giving the audience the best entertainment that I possibly could. But to now be here as TNA World Champion, it’s an amazing feeling and a responsibility that I enjoy, and my focus is just trying to deliver record business for TNA.”
Hendry hopes fans will one day look back on his reign as a financial turning point for the company.
“I want people to look back and say, ‘Joe Hendry as World Champion, The Hardys as Tag Champs, that meant big business for TNA’. So I’m excited for the business that the entire locker room is doing for the company and everyone backstage and the fans as well. TNA’s a hot product right now and, yeah, onwards and upwards.”
As the face of the promotion, Hendry is also embracing an increasingly demanding schedule—something he views as a positive reflection of his rising profile.
“Look, a busy schedule is a compliment. The busier you are, the more in-demand that you are, is a compliment to your popularity and your skills. So I very much enjoy that responsibility. The schedule is a part of the job, and every show that I do, every appearance that I do, every piece of media that I do, I just try to get better every time.”
With the company gaining momentum and more crossover opportunities on the horizon, including TNA title matches in WWE environments, Hendry appears fully committed to leading TNA through one of its most high-profile eras in years.
