Joe Hendry is one of the most popular wrestlers in professional wrestling right now. His songs are heard all around the world. One thing that garnered a lot of support from fans was the musical parodies he performs.
Hendry recently revealed that a few people were upset with him when they heard the songs.
While speaking to Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, Hendry said there were three wrestlers who were not fans of his work. He also mentioned that one wrestler stormed out of the arena for over three hours. But then eventually the wrestler returned to finish the match.
“Three people that I can think of have got upset. I won’t tell you which ones are which, but I’ll tell you what happened. One time, someone started, in the middle of the match, legitimately stamping on me and I had to control the situation as best I could. I’m proud of how I handled it. There’s another time where someone stormed out the building for three hours before they came back and had to complete the day’s work.
Joe Hendry always knew how the fans would react to his parodies
“And there was a third time where I did not brief the person on the entrance and they were upset about it. In that case, they were probably right, but I just knew how the fans were going to react. I knew it was going to be great for business and I knew I wouldn’t be able to convince them of that in the moment and that they would only understand in retrospect. With the entrances, in many cases, the best thing was to ask for forgiveness, not permission,” Joe Hendry said.
Drew McIntyre and Kurt Angle loved the work of Joe Hendry
During the same interview, Hendry mentioned that some opponents, like Kurt Angle and Drew McIntyre, loved his songs.
“I’m sure [I don’t want to name and shame] (laughs). But I will say, the top guys are the ones who find it the funniest. I was anxious about the Kurt Angle parody because I wasn’t sure how he’d take me throwing his medals in the bin and just dissing every achievement that he’s had, but he loved it.
“Drew [McIntyre] loved it—the top talents love it because they understand. Matt Cardona is a great example. If you look at how he reacted to the ‘Edge’s Bitch’ video, he put his working boots on to make sure that the video got over. So I really appreciate it, I think it makes for great entertainment when the talents steer into it. Drew was struggling to hold back the laughter for the Eiffel 65 video I did about him.”
Last week on NXT Joe Hendry debuted the Joe Hendry Concert on Night One of the Great American Bash.
