Joe Hendry Challenges Rockstar to Feature His Song in GTA 6

"Say his name and he shall appear", or at least that's what they say about Joe Hendry, the current TNA World Champion. Riding off the high from his recent appearance at the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble match, the 36-year-old professional wrestler and musician is calling developers who might want to feature his likeness in their games. Or, in Rockstar Games' case, his entrance song. Taking to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, Hendry made a bold pitch to Rockstar Games for Grand Theft Auto 6: "You can use my song. Send me the paperwork."

Naturally, the post went viral. His newfound mainstream fame among casual audiences and the fact that it was sent out just hours before Take-Two Interactive's latest earnings call where Strauss Zelnick reaffirmed GTA 6 and its Fall 2025 release window combined to create a ton of chatter on the internet. Not one to lack in confidence, Hendry pointed this out, saying that his offer was viewed by 2 million users on X. As of the moment of writing, Hendry's original offer has received 2.7M views and 32K likes.

Hendry's musical talents have been an integral part of his wrestling persona, with his entrance theme becoming a hit not just among wrestling fans but also gaining popularity beyond the ring. The catchy nature of "I Believe in Joe Hendry" has made it a fan favorite. Many are now arguing it would fit perfectly into the Grand Theft Auto universe.

While Rockstar Games has not publicly responded to Hendry's offer, it's worth noting that the company has a history of including a wide variety of music in their games. The GTA series is known for its diverse soundtrack, featuring everything from obscure indie tracks to major hits across various genres and decades - which sometimes even causes licensing issues down the line!

Additionally, 2K Games, the folks behind the WWE 2K franchise, and Rockstar both fall under the Take-Two umbrella. With a direct line to WWE, and in turn TNA following the company's most recent partnership, who's to say that Rockstar wouldn't consider Hendry's proposal? If anything, Rockstar might lean even more towards it by featuring Hendry himself in GTA 6, or at least a parody of his wrestling persona.

Hendry's recent success in the wrestling world, including winning the TNA World Championship and making appearances in WWE and NXT, has raised his profile significantly. This increased visibility could potentially make his music a more attractive option for Rockstar, especially if they're looking to tap into the wrestling fanbase.

Besides, the crossover between wrestling and video games is not unprecedented. Other wrestling stars have appeared in various games, including recent inclusions in titles like Call of Duty. For now, players will have to wait and see if Hendry's theme makes it into the final cut of GTA 6.

Speaking of GTA 6, the reconfirmation of the game's release window sent Take-Two's stock price to record highs as Zelnick teased a potential release of more GTA games on the next Nintendo Switch.
