Andrew Dinsmore is an American retired professional wrestler best known as: Leslie Butterscotch, and for his time in the wrestling promotion Chikara. During his time in Chikara, he performed as Hydra and was part of The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple and The Sea Donsters.
Hydra made his debut for Chikara, as a rudo on 13 November 2005 at an event at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was featured in a match teaming with UltraMantis Black, Icarus and Dr. Cheung in a winning effort against Angel de Fuego, Lance Steel, Lance Steel and Mister ZERO. He would become UltraMantis Black's protégé however Black shortly became inactive. On 19 November 2005, Hydra received his first loss in CHIKARA when his team consisting of him, The Punisher and Dr. Cheung lost to Lance Steel, Dragon Dragon and The Equinox. On 25 February, with Equinox, Hydra lost in the first round of a tag team tournament to Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli.
Hydra would then form a stable with UltraMantis Black, who would later include Crossbones in October 2006, on 25 June 2006 when Black attacked his old, and now technicos, partner Hallowicked during the Young Lions Cup. Hallowicked had begun teaming with Delirious to form the team Incoherence. On 22 July, Hydra and UltraMantis defeated Fire Ant and Soldier Ant. However, on August 22, they were defeated by Ryan Cruz and Darin Corbin.
Hydra then teamed with Los Ice Creams to defeat The Colony and The Equinox on 22 September 2006. Crossbones would then make his first appearance with The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple when the three of them defeated The Colony and The Equinox on 28 October. The stable would continue their winning streak when they defeated The Equinox, Retail Dragon and Trik Davies on 12 November. Five days later, Incoherence finally received their revenge when they defeated the Neo-Solar Temple. Also that night, the Temple lost again, this time teaming with Blind Rage, to Incoherence who teamed with Cheech and Cloudy.
The stable were unfortunate at the beginning of 2007 as they lost to Los Ice Creams on 16 of February. On 22 April, however, the faction managed to defeat Andy Sumner, Drew Gulak and Tim Donst. On May 16, Hydra had his first singles match in months when he lost to Worker Ant. The next day, Black and Hydra defeated The Olsen Brothers. On 22 June, Hydra participated in the fifth Young Lions Cup however he lost to Moscow in the first round. During the third night of the Young Lions Cup, the Temple defeated Moscow, Player Dos and Super Xtremo. On 22 September 2007, the Temple were once again defeated by Incoherence. On 26 October, the temple defeated Dragon Dragon USApe and Moscow.
