FTW Championship Match!

HOOK (c.) vs. The Firm’s “TaigaStyle” Lee Moriarty (with Stokely Hathaway)!

Lee delivered an elbow to HOOK but HOOK fired right back, looking for a knee bar. HOOK dodged a kick and countered with a suplex. HOOK sent Moriarty flying with another suplex.

Stokely swiped at HOOK’s leg. While HOOK was momentarily distracted, Lee rocked HOOK with a big boot to the face. Lee Moriarty worked over HOOK in the corner, hitting him with jabs to the ribs.

HOOK rallied back with a high impact lariat to Lee! HOOK followed up with body shots to Lee, battering him with his bare knuckles. HOOK walloped Lee with a fisherman’s throw. Lee used a diving knee drop and then locked in a double wrist lock, but HOOK used his power to fight out of it.

Moriarty was looking for the Border City Stretch but HOOK turned his hips and transitioned into the RedRum, finishing off Moriarty!
