Joe Hendry: My Focus As TNA World Champion Is Just Trying To Deliver Record Business For TNA

Joe Hendry wants to focus on delivering record business for TNA.

Back at TNA Genesis in January of this year, Joe Hendry would capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time. Since winning the gold, Hendry has faced off with familiar foes, and will once again be returning to WWE NXT for another go around, but this time, he will defend the TNA World Championship at NXT Battleground vs Trick Williams.

While speaking to WrestleTalk in a new interview, Henry spoke about his new roles and responsibilities as TNA World Champion, remarking that he just wants to deliver record business for TNA during his reign.

“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. 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.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Hendry spoke about how it feels to have a busy schedule. You can read more about that here.
