Lee Moriarty Explains Why He Wrestled Ten Matches In Two Days During WrestleMania Week
Lee Moriarty turned in arguably the best performances of any Independent wrestler during WrestleMania week, competing in nearly a dozen matches against a variety of opponents.
Moriarty’s weekend kicked off on Thursday against Edith Surreal at IWTV Family Reunion and ended Friday night at GCW rSpring Break against IMPACT World Champion Rich Swann.
Taking to social media, Moriarty explained why he pushed himself to wrestle ten matches in two days during the busiest week of the year.
Why did I wrestle in 10 matches over two days? Because every match meant something and challenged me. Lemme explain.

Match 2. An opening round match in the Acid Cup. Trent Acid is an icon in indie wrestling so of course I jumped on the chance to be in the tournament. Travel issues changed my opponent and I didn’t win the way I planned but I look forward to a rematch with JJ and 1v1 with Tree. pic.twitter.com/uiklK9VjM2

Match 4. Another match with a well experienced veteran. This match also posed the challenge of adapting my style within the chains instead of ropes. I also got to have @TheStruggles23 call a match of mine and he’s someone that supported me very early on. pic.twitter.com/TuGFEwV4yD

Match 6. I told y’all I wasn’t wearing grey sweatpants…
This match was for a great cause and it was Fayes farewell. I hope I can leave half the positive impact of wrestling as Faye has. Plus even tho she eliminated me –…glad I got to share the experience with Tejana. pic.twitter.com/qTfJYLOIdK

2/2
I didn’t win the tournament but I take no shame in losing to Big Breakfast in the finals. He earned that win and every bit of success he’s been receiving.

I say it a lot and it probably gets old haha, but I’m very grateful to be in the position I’m in. The level of talent on the indies is so deep so for me to be gifted with the opportunities I have been is unbelievable. No way I didn’t leave Tampa a better wrestler. Always forward.
