“I Believe in Joe Hendry” has taken over both the world of professional wrestling and the pop charts throughout much of 2024, and fans who have been clamoring for an extended version of the viral entrance may soon get their wish, as Joe Hendry is cooking up an extended version of the song inspired by The Rock’s entrance theme . That’s not all, as the Scottish TNA wrestler is working on a longer cut that could very well end up with him on the Eurovision Song Contest stage. In May 2024, Hendry took some time from his hectic schedule to chat with CinemaBlend about several different topics ranging from how the chart-topping song has changed his life to the next steps in both his wrestling and music careers.
During our conversation, Hendry revealed he’s working on making a longer cut for the competition that inspired one of the best Netflix musicals , stating: People have asked me to do an extended version because basically, there's a competition called Eurovision that people want me to enter. And in order to enter it, it needs to be within a certain timeframe that is released. So, we can actually release an extended version of the song within this window of time to put it forward for the next Eurovision.
And that's when we'll release the extended version. Though the 2025 rules haven’t yet been announced, the Eurovision 2024 contest requirements stated that the submitted song must not have been performed in full before September 1, 2023. The songs were also required to.
