Hook (wrestler)
Tyler Cole Senerchia (born May 4, 1999) is an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Hook (often stylized as HOOK). He is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is the current FTW Champion—a title that was established by his father Taz—in his record tying second reign.

Professional wrestling career

All Elite Wrestling (2020–present)
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. 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. Shortly after the match aired, AEW president Tony Khan announced that Hook had signed a contract with the company. Hook's debut, which had become an internet meme prior to the match, garnered praise from critics, with several praising his level of skill despite being a rookie. Two weeks later, Hook would quickly defeat Bear Bronson at Rampage: Holiday Bash. His next match would be a win over Aaron Solo, which would begin a feud with Q. T. Marshall. The feud would culminate with Hook defeating Marshall on Revolution's pre-show, The Buy In, on March 6, 2022. In May, Hook began to work with Danhausen. 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. 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. 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. On the July 19 at Blood & Guts, Perry defeated Hook for the FTW Championship, giving Hook his first singles loss in his AEW career in the process.  On August 27 during All In:Zero Hour, Hook would defeat Perry to win the FTW Title for the record tying second time, sharing the record with his father Taz.

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. He has been nicknamed "The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil". Hook uses the Action Bronson song "The Chairman's Intent" from the album Blue Chips 7000 as his entrance theme.

Personal life 
Senerchia is the son of professional wrestler Peter Senerchia, known professionally as Taz. He is of Italian descent.

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