Joe Hendry has been training at the WWE Performance Center and is loving his current role as the main crossover star between TNA Wrestling and WWE NXT.

During a recent interview with former WWE broadcast team member Matt Camp on "The Wrestling Matt" YouTube series, the popular pro wrestling star spoke about training at the WWE PC, the NXT/TNA crossovers and working with one of the greatest of all-time in WWE Hall of Fame legend Shawn Michaels.

Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.

On being involved in the crossover between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling: "I’m in a situation where we’re having historic collaboration between TNA Wrestling and WWE. We’re in a situation where TNA Wresting have worked it out with WWE where I can appear on TNA Wrestling as a contracted talent, I can appear on NXT, and I can train at the Performance Center full-time and do indies and do signings. This is unprecedented. It’s never been done before in the business. So thank you to TNA and WWE for figuring it out."

On training at the WWE Performance Center: "I have no ego when it comes to getting better. That’s why I’m training at the Performance Center. I’m never just gonna rest the skills that I’ve got. I’m always trying to build to something more. I’m very grateful to TNA Wrestling for giving me the opportunity to do that. I think I’m collaborating really well with management, and I think we’re putting ourselves in a position to do historic business for TNA."

On working with WWE Hall of Fame legend and WWE NXT executive Shawn Michaels: "For me personally, from a training perspective, Shawn’s giving me a huge opportunity, and Shawn said, ‘Hey, this door is open. If you want to train at the Performance Center, we’re gonna open that door.’ I was like, ‘Let’s do it.’ I said, ‘Give me a week to sort out my real-life stuff back home in Scotland, and let’s go.’ We figured it out. So right now, I’m training at the Performance Center and I’m here in Orlando, and I’m getting this amazing opportunity to learn from the greatest in-ring performer of all time."
