Ah, look who it is! The boy wonder, Tyler Cole Senerchia. Or as the world of wrestling so affectionately screams, HOOK. Just in case you live under a rock or on a remote island, he’s an American professional wrestler. Yes, my dear reader, an American wrestler! Quite the rare specimen, isn’t he? Born when the flowers were in full bloom, on a cheery day in May 1999, our hero now struts around with the FTW Championship belt in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). And would you believe it? This coveted title was originally carved out by his very own dad, Taz. Oh, the nepotism warms my heart!
Hook’s Entanglement in the Wrestling World
As you continue your ceaseless scroll through the rabbit hole of wrestling trivia, allow me to transport you back to a memorable date. No, not when we first landed on the moon or anything of that grandeur. Simply December 16, 2020. Ring any bells? No? Well, it bloody well should, because that’s when our boy wonder Hook made his flashy entrance into the esteemed All Elite Wrestling (AEW) universe, deciding to play the ‘heel’. You’d think he was having a casual Sunday roast with his old man, Taz, the way he joined the jolly gathering of Team Taz. Quite the family reunion, if you ask me.
Now, fast forward a bit to December 8, 2021. It’s a cold winter’s day and what better way to warm up than with a display of muscular prowess? So, our dear Hook thought it a splendid idea to show off his muscles for the very first time against Fuego Del Sol on AEW Rampage. I can almost see the steam coming off his wrestling leotard. Unsurprisingly, the fans lost their collective minds. Because, you know, when you’re the fruit of Taz’s loins, your debut isn’t just a regular Tuesday at the office. No, it’s an event of monarchical proportions! It’s like they rolled out the red carpet and had a fanfare trumpeting his arrival.
So, there you have it. The grandiose beginnings of Hook in the world of wrestling. From cosy family picnics to flexing muscles like he’s in an 80s action flick, it’s been quite a ride. But hey, all in a day’s work for the progeny of Taz, right?
Meme-lord Hook’s AEW Rampage
With the tenacity of a bulldog, our young wrestling prodigy won the match with a half nelson choke, or as those with a flair for the theatrical might say, ‘Redrum’. Oh, the drama! But, hold your gasps because that’s not all. AEW‘s head honcho, Tony Khan, then thought it appropriate to sign young Hook onto the league’s roster. Because, you know, we wouldn’t want all that theatrical flair to go to waste, would we?
But wait, there’s more! In an astonishing turn of events that can only occur in this strange digital age, Hook’s debut transcended the wrestling world and mutated into an internet meme, even before the match took place! Yes, you heard right, the internet, in all its infinite wisdom, turned a wrestling debut into a source of viral amusement. Oh, what a time to be alive! If only the pioneers of the internet could see what a playground their invention has become. They’d be so proud. Or not.
Hook’s Jolly Jabs and Jousts in the Ring
Following his glorious debut, Hook didn’t just kick back and bask in his newfound fame. Oh no, he did a merry little dance in the ring with the likes of Aaron Solo and our lad Q. T. Marshall. Quite the social butterfly, isn’t he? And what do you know, after what can only be described as a rambunctious frolic with Marshall, our dear Hook emerged, quite like the victorious gladiator of yore, at Revolution’s pre-show, The Buy In, on March 6, 2022.
But that’s not all! After a good bit of wrestling and winning, Hook decided to change things up a bit. He began to collaborate with Danhausen. Because why wrestle alone when you can have a partner to share the glory, sweat, and what I can only assume is a monumental amount of body oil? So there you have it, folks. The world of wrestling, where everyday’s a play date and every match a madcap dance routine!
The FTW Championship – A Family Heirloom?
Oh, and let’s not forget about the dramatic showdown that was July 27 at Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen. Our boy wonder Hook found himself nose to nose with Ricky Starks, squaring off for the FTW Championship. And, because life is nothing if not predictable, our lad won. Why am I not surprised? It’s almost like his dad passed down the title with the family silver. Perhaps it was hidden in the stuffing of his childhood teddy bear, or tucked between the pages of his favourite bedtime story. After all, what better heirloom to pass on than a wrestling championship title, eh? It really brings a tear to the eye.
Hook – The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil
Hook’s finisher move is a lovely little thing they call ‘Redrum’. It’s a half nelson choke, same as his dad’s finisher, the Tazmission. Ah, nothing like a bit of originality, eh? I mean, who needs innovation when you can just copy daddy’s moves? Saves time on brainstorming and leaves more for the wrestling, I suppose.
And his entrance theme, you ask? It’s none other than Action Bronson’s ‘The Chairman’s Intent’. Now, I’m no music critic but it’s probably a tad more appropriate for a wrestling ring than ‘Amazing Grace’, don’t you think? Unless we’re suddenly doing wrestling in cathedrals, in which case, I might’ve missed the memo. Really though, who wouldn’t want a little hip-hop to spice up their step into the ring?
Hook’s Life Beyond the Ring
When he’s not busy hurling other grown men around a ring like ragdolls, would you believe that our dear Hook comes from an Italian background? That’s right, our wrestling wunderkind has a taste for pasta and a penchant for lacrosse. Yes, lacrosse. Because, naturally, when you’re not wrestling, you’d want to engage in another contact sport for a bit of a breather. He was even ranked 74th in the nation by Inside Lacrosse. Truly, is there no end to this man’s talents? I mean, why settle for dominating one sport when you can casually excel in two?
Hook’s Shiny Championship Belts and Awards
and how could we overlook his shiny collection of awards? The lad holds the FTW Championship – not just once, mind you, but as we speak – and was so kind as to snatch up the Rookie of the Year award in 2022. Not to mention, he was ranked 124th of the top 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in the same year. Can you believe it? A kid who was probably still picking gum off his wrestling boots a few years back is now rubbing shoulders with the big guns. Truly the stuff of fairy tales.
And so, we close the thrilling saga of Tyler Cole Senerchia, alias Hook. Who’d have thought that a young lad from America could leapfrog up the wrestling ladder with such elegance and aplomb? It’s a script Hollywood would kill for. As we eagerly await his next breathtaking performance, we can only hope that our dear Hook doesn’t hoist himself out of the wrestling world with his own dazzling petard. After all, the popcorn’s just getting warm, and we’re all on tenterhooks to see what our beloved Hook is cooking up next in the AEW universe. But, hey, no pressure!
