Joe Hendry is a 38 year old professional wrestler & singer/songwriter from Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom who’s also a former アイアンマンヘビーメタル級チャンピオン, TNA World Champion, the longest reigning TNA Digital Media Champion & NXT Champion. Some however might not be familiar with him being the former frontman of an alt-rock/pop punk band called Lost in Audio in the early half of the previous decade, having the WME Group-owned TKO Group Holdings division WWE financially back his 2nd extended play following the independent Total Hendry EP.
“Give Joe Hendry Every Single Belt (Right Now)” opens up with this pop rock intro interpolating “Know Your Enemy” by Green Day desiring to hold every championship in the WWE whereas the country rock-tinged “Tables, Ladders & Chairs” likens a bad relationship to the type of wrestling match pioneered by the inaugural 4th Rope World Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz alongside former 7-time WWE Tag Team Champions & AEW World Tag Team Champions Adam Copeland & Christian Cage and former NWA World Tag Team Champions, 2-time IWGPタッグチャンピオン, inaugural 2-time TNA World Tag Team Champions, WWE Hall of Famers & former 18-time WWE tag team champions The Dudley Boyz.
We have Joe demanding the WWE’s current Director of Live Events & general manager for Monday Night Raw in former 5-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion & PWG World Champion Adam Pearce to “Fire Logan Paul” considering that I’m not a fan of the former WWE United States Champion & WWE tag team champion as a person either just before the anthemic “If I Can’t Have Joe Hendry” sings about there being no one in the world like him. “If You Don’t Love Joe Hendry” contains an interpolation of “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber discarding his haters as useless trash while “Going Up to SmackDown” sings about eventually moving over to Friday Night SmackDown working for their GM in former 2-time NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion, IWGPタッグチャンピオン, GHCタッグチャンピオン, 2-time TNA World Champion & TNA World Tag Team Champion Nick Aldis.
“Out of Nowhere” recalls his WrestleMania XLI match against former 14-time WWE world champion, 4-time WWE tag team champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion & WWE United States Champion Randy Orton for an upbeat rock track while “Highland Cow” represents Scotland alongside former 5-time WWE world champion, NXT Champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, 4-time WWE tag team champion & TNA World Champion Drew McIntyre. “Everybody Else” cheerfully sings about being people’s favorite wrestler because of his abilities as a performer & as a musician while “Jingle Balls” pokes fun at 2-time WWE Champion, 8-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 2-time WWE United States Champion & 9-time WWE tag team champion The Miz.
I do however appreciate the closing track “NXT Year” showing love to the WWE’s primary developmental brand NXT as well as the youngest DPW Worlds Champion Je’Von Evans and former PWG World Tag Team Champion, 2-time TNA World Tag Team Champion, EVOLVE Tag Team Champion, AAA Mundial Mixtas Parejas Campeon, NXT Champion & NXT North American Champion Ethan Page. Of course I can’t can’t forget to mention the shoutout to the AAA Mundial Mixtas Parejas Campeon co-holder during Ethan’s reign in the current WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green, who’s also the inaugural 2-time WWE Women’s United States Champion & a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion in addition to being a former TNA Knockouts World Champion & TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion.
Beyond Belief won’t make my Best of 2026 list or anything like that but I can’t deny Joe Hendry gave the WWE what probably the best musical body of work they’ve released in 2 decades since 17-time WWE world champion, WWE Intercontinental Champion, 5-time WWE United States Champion & 4-time WWE tag team champion John Cena fresh off his outstanding Coyote vs. Acme performance did the You Can’t See Me collaborative album with his cousin MC Trademarc that Spada4 of CZARFACE’s in-house production trio The Czar-Keys executive produced for Columbia Records. Especially when you compare it to def rebel’s formulaic entrance themes or that AFTERTHETIDES EP former 6-time WWE tag team champion Montez Ford put out couple months back.
Score: 3/5
