Wrestling prodigy Hook looks to notch up another victory in this match from AEW Rampage.

Hook created a stir in his successful debut match and the fans have rallied behind him.
The wrestlers start off simple, trading arm wringers until Hook sweeps Bronson's leg and applies a half crab.
Bear temporarily gets the advantage but plays to the crowd too much, allowing to Hook take him down and apply a hammerlock / armbar combination.
Bear escapes to the ropes and then stops Hook with a face rake.
Bear executes a risky looking piledriver (think Steve Austin vs Owen Hart) and then gloats to the crowd.
Hook rises up like a monster, showing no effects from the piledriver.
Hook executes a couple suplexes and then finishes Bear with a choke.
I think this was an improvement over Hook's previous match. Even though the match was short, the guys manged to tell a decent story and Hook looked impressive manhandling the bigger man.
The fans seem firmly behind Hook now. The question is, can AEW continue building his momentum?
