Joe Hendry, who gained recognition for his performances in TNA and recently impressed during his time in NXT, continues to take the pro wrestling world by storm thanks to his insane charisma and musical skills and that’s why he is very protective of his songs.
The most impressive thing about Joe Hendry is his near-infinite creativity when it comes to music. After all, he sings all of his songs, and that includes his now-iconic ‘I Believe in Joe Hendry’ theme song, among many others.
While speaking to TheOneMona, Joe Hendry revealed that his re-debut video at Bound for Glory in TNA was poorly filmed in a rush, and he recognized the need to replace it before the next taping. He admitted he had never mentioned before that the video was strange and acknowledged that he was about to head to the airport at the time of filming.
It was pointed out Henry that there is now a 10-hour loop of that video on YouTube, allowing someone else to profit from it. To address this, Henry has trademarked all his material and plans to issue a legal notice to those making money off his content. He intends to copyright strike the video, fully aware he might receive backlash for it, but he feels it is necessary since others have been profiting from his work.
On top of that, he plans to upload the same video and compared his reaction to a moment in Sonic the Hedgehog when a player loses and the game plays a specific sound.
“Actually, if you look back at Bound for Glory when I re-debuted in TNA, it was a really bad video that I filmed in a rush. I thought, ‘I need to replace that,’ so before the next taping, I got home and did it properly. I’ve never said this before, but if you look at my red debut in TNA, it has a really weird video. I need to check it out because I didn’t notice that until you brought it up, but it was like I was about to go to the airport. It’s bad, especially since they have a 10-hour loop of it now on YouTube. Someone else is making money off of that, so I’ve trademarked all my stuff now. They’re going to get a legal notice about that one. What I’m going to do is copyright strike it. I know I’ll get heat for it, but I’m going to copyright strike it. They were making all this money off me! Then I’m going to upload the exact same video, and you know that moment in Sonic the Hedgehog when you lose and you don’t have all the emeralds, and it goes ‘doo-doo-doo’? That’s going to be me!”
Joe Hendry has worked hard for his songs and so he has every right to protect his intellectual property and send legal notices to those who try to make a profit off his video. Nonetheless, we’ll have to see if he will drop the hammer on some accounts soon enough.
