Joe Hendry thinks he is ‘most improved wrestler in the world’ in last year, teases video game inclusion
TNA World Champion Joe Hendry has experienced a lot of highs over the last year including winning the title, being a key part of the NXT/TNA crossover, and making his WWE main roster debut in this year’s Royal Rumble match.
During the last year, Hendry feels like he has improved like no other in that time period and said just that during a radio appearance Thursday with Z100 in New York City to promote Friday’s Sacrifice streaming special.
He said he changed his approach several years ago to being committed to wherever he wants and not necessarily calling his shot where he wanted to be and what title he wanted to win.
“I just wanted to get better all the time and that’s what I’ve held to this day. I feel like I vastly, genuinely, I feel like I’m the most improved wrestler in the world over the last year. That’s my opinion. If you look at where I was and what I was doing and where I am now, I really feel like I’m the most improved. If you strive to be the most improved, then titles and opportunities are going to come,” he said, adding that things happened organically.
“I thought, ‘Well, 2025 can’t possibly get bigger than 2024,’ but we ticked that one off by February 1,” he said, alluding to his Rumble appearance.
In a social media post that he released Friday, Hendry said multiple video game developers have got in touch with him and that an announcement will be coming soon. He happened to be standing in front of a PUBG Mobile videoboard in Times Square which heavily nods to the company making that very announcement.
Hendry will be in action Friday in a 10-man cage match at Sacrifice.
