Further details on how <em>For The Culture<\/em> can be viewed will be detailed below.<\/p>\n<p>Long-time independent wrestling fans will undoubtedly be familiar with the work of ACH. He&#8217;s held gold across a litany of organizations, including <strong>Ring of Honor<\/strong> and<strong> EVOLVE Wrestling<\/strong>, the latter of which where won the Tag Team Championship alongside <strong>Ethan Page<\/strong>. Recently, he&#8217;s been a relatively consistent performer for <strong>NJPW Strong<\/strong>, where he&#8217;s taken on such names as <strong>Blake Christian<\/strong> and <strong>PJ Strong<\/strong>. Fans can tune into NJPW World every Friday night to get a peek at ACH&#8217;s trademark aerial offense.<\/p>\n<p>ACH&#8217;s efforts in GCW can&#8217;t be ignored, either. His most recent appearance for the company took place earlier this month at <strong><em>Bring Em Out<\/em><\/strong>, where he faced fellow NJPW Strong competitor Christian in a fast-paced contest. He also won the <strong>DDT<\/strong> Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship from <strong>Joey Janela<\/strong> at <strong><em>Keep in Touch<\/em><\/strong> the month prior. Simply put, ACH has fared well in GCW. However, at <em>For The Culture<\/em>, his aforementioned aerial offense may meet its match.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Match of the year<\/p>\n<p>ACH vs Lee Moriarty <\/p>\n<p>Tickets Available: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hBPF7Gckir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/hBPF7Gckir<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mzp8uixum5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Mzp8uixum5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aj Gray (@RichHomieJuice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RichHomieJuice\/status\/1305913258784718849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 15, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Enter Lee Moriarty, who&#8217;s in his fifth year in professional wrestling. \u201cThe Apex of Combat\u201d isn&#8217;t shy about taking to the skies, utilizing fast-paced maneuvers against a variety of opponents.
