Professional wrestling career

All Elite Wrestling (2020–present)

Hook as FTW Champion in August 2023

On the November 25, 2020, episode of AEW Dynamite, Senerchia, under the ring name Hook, made his first appearance in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as a heel, aligning himself with his father Taz as part of Team Taz, also consisting of Brian Cage, Ricky Starks, and Powerhouse Hobbs.[4] On December 8, 2021, Hook made his professional wrestling debut against Fuego Del Sol for an episode of AEW Rampage, which aired two days later. Hook won the match by submission with a half nelson choke called "Redrum".[5] Shortly after the match aired, AEW president Tony Khan announced that Hook had signed a contract with the company.[6] Hook's debut, which had become an internet meme before the match,[7] garnered praise from critics, with several praising his level of skill despite being a rookie.[8][9][10] Two weeks later, Hook would quickly defeat Bear Bronson at Rampage: Holiday Bash.[11] His next match would be a win over Aaron Solo, which would begin a feud with Q. T. Marshall.[12] The feud would culminate with Hook defeating Marshall on Revolution's pre-show, The Buy In, on March 6, 2022.[13] In May, Hook began to work with Danhausen.[14][15] On July 27 at Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen, Hook defeated Ricky Starks for the FTW Championship, a title established by his father in the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion and reintroduced by Taz in AEW in 2020.[16]

Hook would later begin to team up with Jungle Boy to feud with The Firm and to defeat its members, Lee Moriarty, Ethan Page and Big Bill in various tag team matches, and would continue to feud with them in Jungle Boy’s absence until Double or Nothing, in the Buy-In teaming up with the Hardy’s and defeating Ethan Page & The Gunns.[17] On June 25, 2023, at Forbidden Door, Jungle Boy, by this point known by his given name Jack Perry, attacked Hook after losing his match for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against Sanada, turning heel in the process.[18][19] On July 19 at Blood & Guts, Perry defeated Hook for the FTW Championship, ending his first reign at 357 days and giving Hook his first singles loss in his AEW career in the process.[20] On August 27 during All In: Zero Hour, Hook defeated Perry to win the FTW Championship for the record tying second time, sharing the record with his father.[21] In March 2024, Chris Jericho attempted to form a mentor-student relationship with Hook. However, Jericho was rebuffed, ultimately leading to a title match between the two at Dynasty, where Jericho won the FTW Championship, ending Hook's second reign at 238 days.[22] At Double or Nothing on May 26, Hook was unsuccessful in recapturing the FTW Championship in a three-way also involving Katsuyori Shibata. On August 25 at All In, Hook defeated Jericho to recapture the FTW Championship.[23] After a successful title defense against Roderick Strong at Dynamite: Grand Slam on September 25, Hook announced the retirement of the FTW Championship and handed the title back to his father, ending his third reign at 31 days as the final champion.[24]

Professional wrestling style and persona

Hook's finisher, named Redrum, is a half nelson choke (also known as a kata ha jime), the same as his father's finisher, the Tazmission.[6] He has been nicknamed "The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil".[25] Hook uses the Action Bronson song "The Chairman's Intent" from the album Blue Chips 7000 as his entrance theme.[26]

Personal life

Senerchia is the son of retired professional wrestler Peter Senerchia, better known as Taz.[27] He is of Italian descent through his father and Irish descent through his mother.

Senerchia played lacrosse at Plainedge High School, garnering all-state honors and being ranked 74th in the nation by Inside Lacrosse.[2] In 2018, Senerchia served as a long-stick midfielder for the Bucknell Bison men's lacrosse team;[3] he subsequently transferred to the Sacred Heart Pioneers.[28]

Championships and accomplishments

Hook is a record tying three-time FTW Champion, standing beside his father Taz (left), who created the FTW Title and is the inaugural and two-time champion
