    HOOK Speaks On His AEW Debut

    It was never going to be easy for HOOK to live up to expectations in AEW. Showing up alongside Team Taz for months, HOOK would become an online meme – with fans hyping him up without even seeing what he was capable of in the ring. You’d see everything from him trending on Twitter, to signs in the AEW crowd claiming CM Punk fears HOOK. However, when his debut came – he didn’t just meet the expectations, he surpassed them.

    HOOK is No Joke

    Ahead of this, his father Taz would joke with people backstage in AEW but knew his son was legit, saying the following.

    “He became a meme, this is funny. It’s a joke. Ha Ha. And I would say to people in AEW, ‘Wait until they see this guy go in the ring.’ Within 30 seconds, they’re going to realize he’s no effing joke, right?”

    While speaking with Mashable, HOOK would speak about his AEW debut – and how he felt the pressure to succeed.

    “The external pressure was outrageous. I felt if I can make the most out of each opportunity that I had out there, that I could turn it into something that wasn’t just a joke.”

    Fans Have Decided He’s Their Guy

    Needless to say, his debut and subsequent matches showed that HOOK is truly no joke, but perhaps one of the greatest rookies in professional wrestling history. Fans are engaged whenever he’s on TV, and are chanting his name all through his matches. People are wondering when he will claim gold in AEW, or what his next big match will be.

    HOOK was always going to be a good wrestler. He’s the son of Taz, and spent a while under the learning tree of QT Marshall & Cody Rhodes. But it’s his cool as ice attitude and presentation that puts him above the likes of Brock Anderson – who are great in the ring, but rather boring.

    Charisma is hard to teach, and HOOK has enough for an entire roster of wrestlers. The only thing we haven’t seen from HOOK yet is cutting a promo, which might not even be an issue, as Taz can speak for his son until he’s ready to speak.

    Do you see HOOK as a future AEW World Heavyweight Champion? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.

    A wrestling fan practically since birth, who has been hooked since he got his first toy wrestling ring for Christmas as a child. Since getting access to the internet, he's watched more wrestling than he could ever remember from all around the world. It's hard to keep track of what happens in the wild world of professional wrestling, but he always tries to stay up to date. Note: No relation to Tully Blanchard of Four Horsemen fame (probably).
