Joe Hendry Comments on John Cena Making Potential Future Appearance in TNA & Potential Match with Cena
A recent episode of the Busted Open Radio podcast featured current TNA World Champion Joe Hendry as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Hendry’s thoughts about John Cena being his top choice for a future opponent for his TNA World title.
“John Cena. Let’s let it continue. I have done all the things that I thought would be impossible, but in an era where anything can happen, and just before Genesis, Triple H tweeted us, Shawn Michaels tweeted the show, and John Cena posted the TNA logo on his Instagram. What kind of representative would I be for TNA if I didn’t call out John Cena. I already know that everyone in TNA is gunning for me. I’m the champion. That’s the match I want. To invite John Cena to cross the line to TNA Wrestling is the most exciting matchup and it’s my job as champion to bring as many eyeballs to TNA Wrestling as possible. I have all the respect in the world for John Cena. He was the first professional wrestler that I ever spoke to. When I was 15, I couldn’t make a show, my friend went to a meet and greet and said, ‘My friend Joe is a big fan. He couldn’t come, would you call him?’ John held up the meet and greet, phoned me from my friend’s phone, and talked to me for five minutes.’ I feel that’s the story I need to finish, facing John Cena and why not for this championship? I don’t know John Cena. I respect him. He’s on my Mount Rushmore. He’s the greatest. I think he’d be excited about the TNA World Championship.”
Hendry also gave his thoughts about if he could hang with Cena on the microphone for a promo battle.
“1000%. I love it. John Cena, when he gets the microphone, he tells the truth. I honestly believe people haven’t seen what I can do on the microphone yet. I feel so comfortable going out there with nothing prepared. John Cena is in the top echelon of talkers ever in this business. If you don’t invite that challenge to try and step up, you’re not challenging yourself. I know how powerful he is on the microphone. I believe I can hang on the microphone with John Cena.”

Jeff Hardy Comments on His Wrestling Career Future
WFAA Dallas held a recent interview with The Hardys’ Matt & Jeff Hardy. One of the topics discussed included Jeff Hardy’s thoughts about the future of his wrestling career and potential retirement plans.
“Man, I don’t know. The way I was living life in my 20s and 30s, if I was living life the way I’m living life now, oh my gosh, I would probably be bigger than John Cena today. I was born with such a gift to be a pro wrestler and it just felt so natural and like I was totally created to do this thing. The cool thing about that is I’m still here, I still have life, and I feel good. As Matt had mentioned, we’re big ice bathers and that’s been crazy beneficial for me both mentally and physically. I don’t put a number on it, I’ll just pretty much wrestle until I can’t wrestle anymore.”
