During a recent appearance on “TheOneMonaa” podcast, Joe Hendry invited WWE Hall Of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin to be in his corner for his TNA World Title match against Nic Nemeth at TNA Bound For Glory 2024.
Hendry said, “So for context, I asked Mick Foley, ‘Have you got any advice for becoming TNA World Champion?’ He says, ‘All you have to do is just make sure you’ve got Steve Austin standing by to crack someone with a chair. I was like, Mick, that’s all I had to do?! Why did no one tell me? So, you know, I’ve already invited Eminem down to the show. I’ve been calling out John Cena for about a year. I’ve said I want a confrontation with The Rock. We might as well add Steve Austin. Steve, if you’re watching and you have some way to get to Detroit to help me out here. Hopefully, Eminem is going to be in my corner. But if you’ve got Eminem on one side and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin on the other, then I don’t think we need to worry about Frankie Kazarian too much.”
During a recent edition of the “No Contest Wrestling” podcast, Swerve Strickland expressed admiration for WWE NXT talent Je’Von Evans, stating that he is a fan and will keep cheering for him throughout his career.
Swerve said, “I love Je’Von Evans, shoutout to you. I want to see some pain from you. Je’Von, extremely talented, one of the greatest things I ever heard in my career, still to do this day, when I was on my 90 days between WWE and AEW, I was doing seminars. I went up to North Carolina, and Je’Von was 16-17 years old, and there were 20 people. I asked everyone who they were, how old they were, what got them into wrestling, and what they want to do. I go around the room. I go to Je’Von, and you could tell he’s a standout of the class. He’s like, ‘Honestly, I got into wrestling from watching you versus Lio Rush in DEFY.’ Wow, am I that far removed? [laughs] Earlier this year, I’m in Tampa at a 21 Savage show and I’m watching. Je’Von Evans walks by, he’s like 6’4” now, ‘Goddamn man!’ He’s a specimen and super humble. I love him to death. I watch just to root for him. He just wrestled Randy Orton, killed it. Je’Von, I’m going to root for him no matter what he does or wherever he goes.”
