Mustafa Ali takes a shot at Joe Hendry.
Hendry cemented his status as the face of TNA at TNA Genesis, where he beat Nic Nemeth to win the TNA World Championship. He has made it clear that he is ready to face any and all challengers, and one potential contender is Mustafa Ali, who returned to TNA on the January 23rd episode of TNA iMPACT. Ali won the TNA X-Division Championship during his previous run with the company.
Speaking with Kevin Kellam for Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Mustafa Ali was asked whether he had aspirations of winning the world title.
“I don’t want to say his name because then he’s gonna pop up over here and sing some annoying song that five-year-olds rhyme. I appreciate Joe, I get what he’s doing, but man, I’m tired of the concerts [laughs]. Yeah, that’s me taking a shot at Joe Hendry. But I’ve said his name three times, and he hasn’t appeared, so liar. Joe is on top of the world right now. I wish him all the best, continued success. That Royal Rumble appearance was crazy. He’s doing great business for TNA. I think it’s inevitable that TNA is on the precipice of greatness. It’s going on to do great things. I don’t think Joe’s the guy. I don’t. I think he’s wonderful, I think he’s good. I don’t think he’s great. I am great. So it is inevitable that the weight of the TNA World Heavyweight Championship is gonna be a little bit too much for his shoulders. He can’t lift that belt, he can’t take TNA to new heights, and I’m the guy that’s going to do it," Ali said.
