WWE Hall of Famer says Joe Hendry has a great future in the business
The legendary Booker T recently claimed that The Prestigious One has untapped potential and can reach great heights in the coming years.
On his Hall of Fame podcast, the former United States Champion mentioned that Joe Hendry possesses all the qualities necessary to become a major star. Booker T advised the TNA Wrestling star to also focus on his musical career as a backup plan, ensuring he's prepared for any future challenges.
"He just needs to stay consistent," he said. "I was talking to Elias back when he was in WWE and I told Elias, I said, 'Man, concentrate on your music a little bit more. Really lean into your music. Your wrestling is gonna be there... You can become a dual athlete.' (...) I'm thinking about what's next for Joe Hendry. Joe Hendry has a hell of a future in this business, but parlaying his success in this business to whatever he's going to do next. That would be the best advice I could give him, because the sand in the hour glass goes quick. I'm talking about here today and gone tomorrow," he said.
It remains to be seen if Joe Hendry defeats Ethan Page to capture his first-ever WWE title and become the NXT Champion at No Mercy.
