Alright. So I’ve seen em now. The entrance is cool. He’s over. Buuuut I don’t get it. Aside from the fun entrance I don’t see what’s there. This sort of gimmick doesn’t have much staying power outside of NXT and the indies either

He got himself over on his own and is really likable. Mostly that.

I do agree that he’s just kind of meh in the ring, but man, he’s over and his entrance is hilarious.
Bobby Roode was similar. Was good in the ring but didn’t really WOW me. Everyone just loved his entrance at the end of the day.

Give me Joe Hendry accepting a Cena open challenge the night after Wrestlemania.
I was kinda thinking he was a decent Zach Ryder comp, but Ryder back during his internet champ gimmick was likely 2x the athlete. Bob Roode is a solid comp, I can’t really poke holes in the logic comparing the two. Maybe Roode is better in the ring? Maybe Hendry has a bit more presence? I’m not sure yet.

Oh the song he could do...
Some of the ones in England were so good
Hell, I'd love to redo the Drew feud

I think he is more charismatic and a better talker then Ryder.
He isn't as boring as Roode either though I would say Roode is better (Roode was technically super sound but worked a really boring style)

I'm not sure what his gimmick is since I don't watch TNA, but he's been using that song since back in the dying days of ROH. I guess there's just more eyes on in it now. But regardless he's managed to get himself over since, even if it is just the song.
He coule make for a novelty act to be used sparingly. Just trot him out there every now and again to make a save, or to be used for a beat down. The entrance should be good for a big pop every time. Long term though, there's nothing left after the entrance IMO

Reminder that this guy has been doing the same novelty act for 17 years.

More on Bobby Stevenson's departure from WWE.
from cagesideseats.com:
It’s important to note here that Kemp was not cut but rather WWE simply chose not to renew his contract, something we’re seeing more and more of in recent times. He most recently appeared on, well, the most recent episode of NXT television. He had been working as a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew in the midst of a four year run on the developmental brand.
Kemp is the younger brother of Gable Steveson, who was cut by WWE back in May. As talented as the two brothers are in their respective ways, it seems the company has decided it has no creative direction for them in the future. Kemp is still just 25-years-old, however, giving him plenty of time to carve out a space in the industry elsewhere.

That was probably the best 6-man tag I've seen on NXT. Definitely the most fast paced. And Joe Hendry approves.
