Steve Maclin On Joe Hendry: I Don't Care About Spotify, I Care About What Happens In The Ring

Steve Maclin doesn't give a damn about Spotify.

Throughout 2024, Joe Hendry has cemented himself as a top name in the world of wrestling, gaining a ton of popularity in both WWE and TNA. In particular, Hendry's social media numbers are outstanding, as multiple of his songs and videos have went viral and recorded millions of views, clicks, and listens.

Those numbers aren't impressive to Steve Maclin though. In a new interview with Fightful, Maclin stated that he more cares about the the wrestling side of the business.

"No, no, I don't care about Spotify. I care about what happens in the ring. He cares more about the Spotify and the ratings that he gets on his views and YouTube. I'm more about the pro wrestling side of things. It's great. No, it's great for him, but it's going to die down eventually. No, we're not. If you believe in him, good for you."

Maclin then went on to heap some praise on Hendry for believing in himself and embracing popularity.

"I think he's embracing it, which is great. He's believing in himself. As much as people are believing in him, he's believing in himself more and more that he's getting out there and getting the reps. He's someone that I eventually, hopefully, get a one-on-one with ‘cause I think that would be a great program as well. I'd get a lot out of him and he would get a lot out of me on the flip side of things for just making each other better. For the entertainment side, he is what pro wrestling kind of really is, is entertainment. It's the entertainment side of things. But I'm very happy for him and his success. He got my number a few months back. So he's another one that I'm looking forward to hopefully getting n the ring again with one on one."
