"I look back at this and I'm like how on earth did I have the balls to pull this off?" he said."A fan asked me, 'What's your dream match?' And I thought and I answered it, saying, well, just like a one-off match and I went Kurt Angle and I tagged him thinking nothing of it. Kurt Angle DM'd me, in 2015. He says, 'Listen, I've heard your name, I've seen a couple things,' 'cause I think at that point I'd done like my first like viral entrance. I came to the ring to 'Wrecking Ball' but I came to the ring in a zorb as Henry Ball. And so Kurt said, 'I know who you are and you're not ready yet. But maybe one day you'll get the match,' and I was like, 'Wow!'"
The match, held at the Refuse To Lose show, was won by the Hall of Famer, and Hendry discussed how he ultimately brought Angle to the show.
