“I’m very grateful to TNA and WWE because TNA have allowed me to explore different avenues to build my brand and therefore help lift TNA’s brand as well,” Joe Hendry said. “I think that I’ve had a very good collaborative working relationship with TNA. So when I bring something to them that I’d like to do, or even they’ll bring something to me that they maybe think I could do, I think that myself and TNA have an opportunity to do historic business for the company.
“This is what I’ve always wanted to do in professional wrestling, is to have a spot like this, a spot that can help build the company, that can sell tickets, that can bring eyeballs to the product, just to make a positive contribution. So I’m very grateful that TNA are putting me in a position to do that.”
Hendry continued by saying that WWE had welcomed him with open arms, and he was grateful.
“I’m also very grateful that WWE has welcomed me with open arms as well,” Hendry said. “So TNA, they have worked collaboratively with WWE to bring us to a situation where right now. We now have a situation where TNA is working with WWE. So I am a TNA wrestler who is appearing on NXT and I’m training full-time at the performance center as well. So that is an unprecedented situation, and it’s one I’m very grateful for.”
