Joe Hendry comments on IMPACT’s creative freedom compared to other wrestling companies, Yuya Uemura

Wrestlesphere sat down with the former Impact Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry to discuss his time in Impact Wrestling, the upcoming UK tour and much more.
Knowing music is one of Joe Hendry’s great loves along with wrestling, we asked him how he managed to marry the two and if he ever had any trepidation when when he crafted his wrestling persona or did it just come naturally? He told us:
“It’s something that’s come about organically after a chance encounter with Eric Young during our tour of Germany. He was watching my stuff and made some suggestions and I took them on board. And really, these few conversations with Eric Young were what I needed to make the final touches to what I was presenting.”
“I believe his input is what led me directly to that long championship title run, so I’m very grateful to EY for that. With regards to trepidation, no, not at all. I was able to look at wrestling as a business and I was starting to realise that when it came to professional wrestling, if you had an entrance that was over, that was really half the battle.”
“So what I lacked in experience when I started, I was able to cover a lot of ground by having the best entrances. I’m trying to create things that would be interesting to a none-wrestling fan.”
