Joe Hendry on signing a long-term deal with IMPACT Wrestling
Recently, Hendry was a guest on the Wrestling is Life is Wrestling podcast with Cody Deaner. During the episode, he revealed that he initially had a short-term deal with the promotion but then it was turned into a long-term deal.
“I can’t put over Jason Hotch enough,” Hendry said. “He is such a damn good worker, and he made me look like a million bucks. Again, it was the night after the big pay-per-view, and actually, we might be pulling the curtain back a little bit here, but I came back from that match, so we had the pay-per-view match, maybe as an agent, this will provide you with some pride.
“I was on a very short-term deal. The night I came back, literally came back through the curtain, and they told me, ‘We’re tearing up your deal, and you’re getting a long-term deal.’ It was on the spot.”
