During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry recalled an interesting backstage moment involving former TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth at last Sunday’s TNA Genesis 2025 pay-per-view event.

This event unfolded after Nemeth lost the TNA World Title to Joe Hendry during the main event.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On Nic Nemeth: “Last night, I didn’t look at him as ‘my guy,’ a guy that I knew; but I looked at him as, ‘Wow, what an incredible wrestling icon.’”

On the reaction backstage after Nic Nemeth came in: “When Nic Nemeth came through the curtain, everybody in the back rushed over like [he’s] the Beatles. He didn’t win — he did not win. The champion is still out there in the ring, he came through that curtain, and you know, I’m a softie.”

On how seeing Nemeth made him emotional: “I get emotional and I make no apologies for me being emotional. I didn’t win, I didn’t lose, but I teared up when he came through the curtain and saw how much love he got. Everybody ran to him, and they did everything but pick him up and carry him off the field. That is reverence and respect for what you know and what you did. He had a moment — and everybody is not Nic Nemeth.”

TNA Wrestling will be in San Antonio, Texas from January 23-24, which includes a special live edition of Impact on Thursday.

You can check out the official announcement and updated lineup for the January 23rd show below:

It peaked at No. 4 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart and No. 6 on the UK Singles Sales Charts. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Official Big Top 40 Charts. Hendry participated in the 6-person main event at Slammiversary in Montreal. Hendry also has made multiple appearances on WWE’s NXT. He defeated Nic Nemeth on January 19 to win the TNA World Championship for the first time ever.

A third-generation professional wrestler, Tessa is the daughter of Tully Blanchard, granddaughter of wrestling promoter Joe Blanchard, and the stepdaughter of Tully Blanchard’s rival Magnum T. A. Tessa has had a record-setting wrestling career since her debut in 2014. She is a former Knockouts World Champion and, in January 2020, she captured the TNA World Championship, defeating Sami Callihan, becoming the first woman in history to win the title. She defeated Jordynne Grace on January 19, at the Genesis pay-per-view.
