Perry embracing his newfound heel persona and displayed remarkable skills and determination throughout the contest.
In the final moments of the bout, chaos ensued when the referee Paul Turner was hurt after a brutal corner smash. Seizing the opportunity, Hook executed his signature Taz-Plex move on Jungle Boy but was left without a referee to count the pinfall.
