Joseph "Joe" Hendry (born 2 May 1988) is a Scottish professional wrestler, who is best known for his work in the independent circuit in the UK and also known to be Alacodes's favorite Wrestler.[1][2]

Hendry is best known for his appearances in WhatCulture Pro Wrestling (WCPW) feuding with his former tag team partner Joseph Conners , in Insane Championship Wrestling, where he was one half of the ICW Tag Team Champions along with Davey Boy known as Local Fire, and New Generation Wrestling, where he is one third of the NGW Tag Team Champions, along with Lionheart and Kid Fite, with which the third man defends the title under the Freebird rule. He is known as The Local Hero.

Career

Insane Championship Wrestling (2013–present)

Hendry has been regularly appearing for ICW since 2013. He has gained great notoriety due to his popular music video-style entrances parodying famous songs such as "Hello" by Adele and "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit that he uses to mock his opponents.

Hendry began his ICW career as part of manager James R Kennedy's stable the Kennedy Administration and entered a rivalry with Big Damo before feuding with fellow member of the Kennedy Administration Kenny Williams. Williams won the ICW Zero-G Championship during this time and Hendry faced him several times for the title but was unable to win it.

Hendry later formed tag team the Local Fire with Davey Boy. Together they entered the ICW Tag Team Title Tournament - held to crown new champions once Polo Promotions left the company after winning the belts - and beat the Rich Kids of Instagram in the quarter-finals,[3] the Filthy Generation in the semi-finals[4] and then Mike Bird & Wild Boar in the finals at Shug's Hoose Party 3 on July 31, 2016[5] to win the vacant ICW Tag Team Championships. They lost the titles on September 11, 2016 to Polo Promotions in a ladder match.[6]

New Generation Wrestling (2015–present)

Hendry made his debut for New Generation Wrestling in 2015, losing a match to Nathan Cruz before forming Team Scotland with fellow ICW wrestlers Davey Blaze, Lionheart and Kid Fite. Team Scotland often antagonised NGW Champion Nathan Cruz and eventually challenged Cruz to face them in an eight-man tag team match with Cruz's title on the line - if Cruz or any of his teammates were pinned, he'd lose the title. Cruz accepted and went on to retain his title in the eight-man tag team match in November 2015.[7]

Hendry, Lionheart and Kid Fite next appeared for NGW in May 2016, all three answering the NGW Tag Team Championship Open Challenge set by The UK's Biggest Tag Team (Stixx and Colossus Kennedy). After Hendry used the belt as a weapon, the trio became the new tag team champions.[8] The official name for the team was later confirmed to be Insane Fight Club.

WhatCulture MMA/WCPW

On August 18, after filming a few videos for the WhatCulture Wrestling channel, Hendry was revealed as one of two hosts of WhatCulture's new MMA-focused WhatCulture MMA channel, therefore confirming his status as an at least part-time employee of WhatCulture,[9] as well as wrestling for the company's promotion, WCPW.[10]
