- He used Blue Öyster Cult's "Godzilla" and Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" as entrance music. The Sea Donsters used The Beatles' "Octopus' Garden.".
- Hydra was billed from "The Belly of the Beast.".
- One of his signatures was the HydraLock Challenge, where UltraMantis Black would challenge anyone to escape Hydra's Full Nelson. It was the same idea as Chris Masters' (Chris Mordetzky) Masterlock Challenge in WWE, but played for laughs.
- At "CHIKARA Style & Substance" on September 7, 2008, Hydra was involved in a bit with Director of Fun Leonard F. Chikarason (Joseph R. Sposto) that took a shot at WWE's Wellness Policy. After Incoherence (Hallowicked and Delirious (William Hunter Johnston)), Hydra and Helios (Trevor Mann) had defeated the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (UltraMantis Black and Crossbones) and the Best Around (Bruce Maxwell and TJ Cannon), Hydra was shown washing up and posing in the bathroom when Chikarason noticed his "physique" (that is, muscles drawn on with some black marker) and told Hydra that they have a wellness policy and that he would see Hydra in his office that Monday to discuss the matter.
- Before the Order of the Neo-Solar Temple's match with Moscow the Communist Bovine (Dasher Hatfield), Dragon Dragon and USApe at "CHIKARA Bruised" on October 26, 2007, they cut a promo with Mantis showing off Hydra's "strength." Hydra was shown dragging a tiny toy car that was tied to a piece of string with his teeth. Crossbones pushed the car and Hydra "collapsed.".
