Joe Hendry Comments on His TNA Contract Status

A recent episode of the Talk Is Jericho podcast featured Joe Hendry as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Hendry revealing that his current contract with TNA Wrestling still has “a while” left for time.

“We’ve got a while, but because of the working relationship, I really feel like anything is possible. I’m very thankful to TNA management. Any time, not once have I gone to them with an opportunity, and not once have they said no. I’ve gone to them and said, ‘I think this would be great.’ They always support me. There was a time recently, I went to TNA, they had some big matches for me coming up, and I said, ‘I want to go to Orlando and I want to train with Ace Steel and Natalya and Tyson Kidd. I’m going to go. If you want to help me facilitate this, I would appreciate it.’ They said, ‘What can we do to help?’ Whenever I’ve tried to invest in myself, TNA has helped me do that. They’ve been behind me all the way. They’re very giving to the ideas and opportunities that present themselves. I really feel like anything is on the table.”

Moose Comments on TNA’s Working Relationship with WWE Being Better Than the Past One with AEW

Metro UK held a recent interview with current TNA World Champion Moose. One of the topics discussed included Moose’s thoughts about TNA Wrestling’s working relationship with WWE being better than the past one they had with AEW.

“I think this is the best relationship that TNA’s ever had. But way better than the one we had with AEW, better than what was done with AAA, and any other company. I think this relationship [with WWE], both companies respect each other and [are] doing great by each other, and there’s no, there’s not one company that is being selfish. Both companies are doing great. So I think this is how a relationship is meant to be in pro wrestling, and TNA and WWE is doing the best job of it.”
