Joe Hendry could soon be everywhere. And this catchy song will come with him.
The TNA wrestling star becomes an unlikely pop culture icon, still little known, but his toothpaste commercial smile and “I Believe in Joe Hendry” ring entrance song begin to spread into the mainstream.
This is an amazing example. character building by wrestling promoters.
Say his name and he will appear…

Now you don't even have to “say his name,” and Hendry appears far beyond the wrestling world on social media and in pop culture references.

In the latest appearance of Joe Hendry, the professional wrestler appeared on an MLB report on a local broadcast. Tampa's WTSP sports anchor David Scheele announced the Tampa Bay Rays' promotion to prospect Junior Caminero on Tuesday,
“The Rays fans were chanting his name and he showed up today,” Schiele said.
On cue, Hendry appeared on the screen behind him, striking an “I believe in Joe Hendry” pose.
“No, not you – get out of here!” said Schiele.

Sheele is apparently a big wrestling fan. His network recently had him cover Hurricane Debbie as she approached the Tampa Bay area, and he got to work a reference to the song by wrestling legend Batista that he used as a parting shot“I go alone,” the report said.
Hendry learned of his surprise appearance at the Tampa station and responded with several clapping X emojis.
