Taz Discusses How AEW Has Handled HOOK

HOOK has been wrestling for less than a year but is already one of the most popular stars in AEW thanks to his presentation and impactful matches.

HOOK, the reigning FTW Champion, doesn't appear every week on television and may not be on-screen very long or say many words, which adds to his uniqueness and mystery.

Speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, HOOK's father Taz discussed how HOOK has been portrayed on television.

“He’s gonna be handled different,” Taz said. “He’s unique. I can’t tell you what it is about him that’s unique, but I could tell you keeping him special means you’re not gonna see him every single week on TV. You’re not gonna see him where he’s constantly on social media or doing stuff like that. Good luck. I can’t even get the guy to return a text message.”

HOOK is on Twitter, but has never tweeted.

“We might not see HOOK for a little bit, but when he’s there, it’s something like, ‘Boom!,’ impactful, like what the hell just happened,” Taz said. “That’s HOOK. That’s kind of what he is. A lot of people want more. You know what, last I checked, that’s a good thing.”

HOOK is undefeated in AEW with a 13-0 record overall.

He will be in action at AEW Rampage Grand Slam when he teams with rapper Action Bronson to take on 2point0 (Angelo Parker & Matt Menard). Fans can check out Bronson's comments on the match by clicking here.
