Perhaps the least shocking revelation is that music was a career path Hendry could’ve taken. It’s no accident that Hendry has incorporated singing into his wrestling gimmick over the course of his career, as the 37 year old Scotsman has been a musician almost as long as he’s been a wrestler. At one point, Hendry was even the lead singer of a rock band called Lost in Audio. Not much is known about the act, other than they were compared to English band Scouting for Girls during a review of one of their concerts, but Lost in Audio was evidently successful enough that Hendry later claimed that the band was close to signing a record deal with Sony. Clearly, that never came to pass, which is something both WWE and TNA are surely happy about at the moment.
But music and pro wrestling aren’t the only things Hendry is good at. While studying at Heriot-Watt University in his hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland, Hendry received a Master’s degree in business and marketing. That degree was able to help Hendry get a job “Telly sales” during the COVID-19 pandemic, a job that Hendry says helped inspire more elements to his current TNA character. And then there’s Hendry’s second career in amateur, freestyle wrestling, one that has run concurrent with his pro wrestling and musical ambitions. Originally practicing Judo, which he earned a black belt in, Hendry began wrestling freestyle in 2014. 26 years old at the time, Hendry was considered a bit old to be getting into the game, but found success anyway, even being selected as a member of Scotland’s wrestling team for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. Hendry achieved some success there as well, before being eliminated in the Round of 16.
