Lee Moriarty describes how teaming with Big Bill helped him learn.
Moriarty and Bill both joined forces with Stokely Hathaway in 2022, and they were revealed as members of The Firm. The group eventually broke up, but Bill and Moriarty continued to team up together. They wrestled on both AEW programming and ROH TV.
Speaking with Nick Hart for BodySlam.net, Moriarty was asked to describe what he enjoyed most about teaming with Big Bill and how the experience helped him grow.
"My favorite part of teaming with Big Bill is the fact that we have continued to remain ourselves. We haven’t changed the way we look or work to “match” the other and use our individuality as an advantage. Bill has a lot of television experience compared to myself, who didn’t before signing with AEW, and that’s helped me learn little things I didn’t pick up on the independents," Moriarty said.
Moriarty was also asked to reflect on transitioning from the independent scene to wrestling on national TV. He stated that it was a massive step, and it has been an amazing experience. He also highlighted the difference between the two styles.
"For me, going from the independent to national TV was a massive step. The ability to learn about the art and sport of wrestling every week on such a big scale is amazing. It’s also very different because television wrestling flows differently than an independent show. A lot more cameras, timing differences and other factors come into play," Moriarty said.
Moriarty has been competing on ROH TV in recent weeks, and he has teamed up with The Workhorsemen (Anthony Henry and JD Drake) rather than Big Bill.
