Joe Hendry Shuts Down Lawsuit Talk Over His Famous Catchphrase

Joe Hendry’s catchphrase has taken on a life of its own, but don’t think you can take him to court if he doesn’t magically appear when you say his name.

The TNA Wrestling star has built his reputation around the idea that, when you say “Joe Hendry,” he will show up right in front of you.

That gimmick has played out in TNA, NXT, and even WWE’s Royal Rumble, where Hendry shocked the world by making a surprise entrance in Indianapolis. But with all that hype, one fan decided to ask the big question: Is Joe Hendry guilty of false advertising if he doesn’t actually appear?

One Twitter user took the matter to ChatGPT, looking for a legal loophole to hold Hendry accountable. The AI wasted no time shutting it down:

“No, you generally cannot sue Joe Hendry for false advertising simply because you say his name and he doesn’t appear. For a false advertising claim to be valid, there must be a misleading or deceptive advertisement that causes harm or damages, and it typically involves a promise that the person or business fails to deliver on.”

Hendry himself got in on the fun, responding with a simple “Good question” and two clapping emojis—an homage to his signature entrance theme.

So, there you have it. Joe Hendry may be able to pull off some incredible things, but legally, he’s untouchable when it comes to his name-based gimmick.

Would you take legal action if Joe Hendry didn’t show up when you said his name? Or are you just waiting for him to appear at the most unexpected moment? Let us know in the comments!
