During an interview on Busted Open Radio, new TNA World Champion Joe Hendry challenged WWE Legend John Cena to a match.
While doing so, Hendry also told a cool John Cena story from the 2000s. Here’s what he said:
“John Cena. Let me tell you why. 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, who hadn’t tweeted about it before, tweeted the TNA logo on his Instagram. What kind of representative would I be for TNA, if I didn’t call out John Cena?
When I was 15 years old, I couldn’t make a show. My friend went to a Meet & Greet and he says, hey my friend Joe’s a big fan. He couldn’t come, would you call him? And John Cena held up the Meet & Greet, phoned me from my friend’s phone and talked to me for 5 minutes.
He was the first wrestler I ever spoke to, and to me, I feel that’s the story I need to finish, facing John Cena and why not? Let’s do it for this (TNA World) Championship.”
When asked if he can hang with Cena on the microphone, Hendry said:
“1,000%. I love it. I love it because John Cena, when he gets that microphone, he tells the truth. And I honestly believe that people haven’t seen what I can truly do on the microphone yet. I feel so comfortable going out there with nothing prepared.
And to me, John Cena is in the top echelon of talkers ever in this business. And you know what, if you don’t invite that challenge to even try and step up, then you’re not challenging yourself.
I want it. I want to. I know how powerful he is on that microphone, but I just believe that I can hang with John Cena. I believe.”
