Joe Hendry is probably best known for his time in ICW and WCPW, having faced Kurt Angle in the latter and even defeated Alberto El Patron, AKA Alberto Del Rio.

In fact, eagle-eyed WWE viewers may even recognise The Prestigious One as one of Adam Rose's Rosebuds or even from a segment with Rusev.

Insane Championship Wrestling fans, however, will know of Joe Hendry for his parody entrances, which have made the Edinburgh-born wrestler a viral sensation.

Hendry has been forging his way in the business for years, but just last night, the Prestigious One got a standing ovation in a Ring of Honor ring before teasing his big news earlier today.

Author's take

Well, as a Scotsman and a massive ICW fan, this is incredible news! I'm a huge Joe Hendry fan and it's been great to see his rise in the business. His matches against Kurt Angle and Alberto El Patron were great and, well, he brings athleticism and entertainment in abundance every time he sets foot in the ring. This is very exciting news for Impact Wrestling!
