| 2 | 13.08.2025 | sendh00k | 10.0 | Hook is both a highly skilled suplex machine and a more than capable heir to the throne once held by his father, Taz. Hook's in ring style is wildly entertaining and his diverse collection of suplexes make watching him wrestle different and fun every match. Hook graps make me feel some type of way that no wrestler past present and future will ever be able to replicate. Hook is the future of wrestling and could single handedly take AEW to the promise land. |
| 3 | 14.07.2025 | YuuRiTK | 1.0 | Well the FTW title is played out, but how is this guy still in AEW. he has no character, no skill, I can't believe this guy can stay in AEW. you can say he's still young, but honestly I don't see the fundamentals of his game, just a couple of boring prop matches with Chris Jericho. All he has is his face, and a few girl fans like him as a trophy. Even Dominik is more talented than him.This guy is Tony Khan's biggest mistake. |
| 4 | 14.07.2025 | coppercowries | 4.0 | I've soured on HOOK over the last year or so. His size and experience level was problematic from the start as he was being booked like some kind of unstoppable badass without the physical or historical credibility to back that kind of booking. He feels like the epitome of a nepo baby, and his absurdly protected booking has also limited him telling any sort of layered story. He still can't cut a promo, and Taz on commentary constantly force feeding the viewer about how tough and badass his boy is gets pretty grating. |

| 7 | 21.06.2025 | Reflected | 2.0 | Leaving aside the fact that he's the son of ... let's be serious: what has Hook actually shown so far? The music hits, and this scrawny-looking wrestler walks out like some kind of badass -- I have no idea why or who he's supposed to intimidate. He gets in the ring with this cocky attitude and... I don't get it. Why? What's the point? And honestly, the booking makes it even worse. Apparently, he has to win every match no matter what, which means you can't build anything around him, because every feud is basically decided from the start -- Hook has to win, despite having no real status. It makes no sense. Not to mention they created a title specifically for him -- an unofficial, unrecognized title that he defended -- and it ended up being completely useless. I'm sorry, but I don't see a future for him unless something changes. |
| 8 | 06.06.2025 | Wangler | 4.0 | Just fundamentally lacks credibility. Has the play pretend moveset of a 260 pounder but looks like a 12 stone jabroni and is seemingly incapable of leaving his feet. His old man was a killer in the ring no doubt, this one can attribute much to good old fashioned nepotism. Has been hugely overpushed for what he is and just don't see much there. Also drags Joe down multiple levels when they're together. |

| 14 | 13.05.2025 | KyleEnjoysWrestling | 6.0 | Hook is an interesting case. He originally just showed up as a hanger on to a group - not really adding much & no one really knew what his point was or what to expect. But he finally did something & when he did, we saw that there was actually something there. A guy who had a pretty cool arsenal of judo throws & someone who had a pretty unique, badass appeal, allthewhile kind of having a zoomer approach to his character. I was very into him at this point. But over time, his character has suffered. Part due to poor booking, but another part due to lack of character depth beyond the initial character development phase. He's recently been in a pointless mish-mash group, which has done him no favors. He has potential if he can find some intriguing booking to latch on to. |

| 19 | 19.04.2025 | OldTimer | 3.0 | I waited until after All In London on August 25, 2024 to submit a comment because I wanted to give Hook the opportunity to showcase his skills in his match with Jericho on this major PPV. What did I see. Besides having a few more tattoos, it was the same old stuff, nothing improved. Hook gets a beat down, throws some strikes, gives a few suplexes, applies his Redrum submission and Jericho taps. Overall, Hook appeared awkward and unsure of his next moves. At the end, Tazz was at ring side consoling his son with a hug. The bad ass kid needed a hug from daddy. It's painfully obvious the powers that be are trying their best to give him a push, but his skill set is so limited he gives them little to work with. The combination of limited skills with his lack of speaking ability suggests he should not have been on a major PPV, but rather he should have been getting further training. He's was there for only one reason - nepotism and that's not a good reason. And about 8 months after his All In appearance, it's still the same old stuff but now the bad ass kid vomits in the ring during a match with the Death Riders. While I hope it's nothing serious and wish him a speedy recovery, this incident should be used as a wake up call. Hook needs further training. |
| 20 | 18.04.2025 | Pandevmonium | 3.0 | His mic skill need to be polished. And while his character was very young and fresh at the beginning, it didn't develop that much. The fact that his matches are so boring and repetitive doesn't help, I feel like they tried to rush him into an important role into AEW but he was far from ready |

Super raw talent who needs to spend some time in Ring of Honor or even just spend a few months working up to lengthier matches on Collision until reinserting this dude anywhere near the world title. If they want to get away with him not cutting promos, at least set him up with a mouthpiece! |

| 29 | 30.01.2025 | wrestlingswiftie | 6.0 | Hook's cool. He certainly has a nice style to watch, and his matches are about as binge-able as Kelly Kelly's (which is a compliment coming from me). All I can say about Hook is that he needs more experience, because he gets heavily carried and his matches can be repetitive (but that has more to do with the booking). |

| 35 | 16.01.2025 | Ozwern | 3.0 | After numerous feuds and ton of tv time he got, this guy has been found out as a mediocre wrestler and a really underwhelming ''prospect'' as an overall performer. His ceiling is very obvious which isn't that high. Bland in the ring and his promos and nonexistent character work is terrible. Go back to the square one and put him in the lower card and see if something clicks (I doubt it) because the forced shit they've been doing with him, trying to make him a credible threat is not working. |
| 36 | 12.01.2025 | jsborts | 5.0 | Hook has plenty of potential, but his output as a wrestler goes up and down. He has a lot of room to improve but definitely has charisma and a decent look, but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the connective tissue of wrestling, and all the stuff that happens between moves. He isn't a very good promo, whether they're short or long, and often gets overshadowed by other wrestlers when in the ring with guys who are much smoother than him. It just always feels like he's lost in the shuffle between being a shooter style wrestler and being a super typical american wrestler. He has some stuff to figure out and I think he'd do better to broaden his moveset to be more inclusive of the japanese strong style with the judo influences added in as finishing sequences. Think he probably could do for a trip on an excursion too |

| 38 | 04.01.2025 | Dkex | 6.0 | Ist schon witzig, dass bei manchen Leuten wie Hook ein cooler Look und die richtige Blutlinie plus ein paar Squashmatches reichen, um 8 bis 10 Punkte zu vergeben. Manchmal versteh die Wrestling Fanwelt einfach nicht. Natürlich ist da großes Potential zu sehen. In seinen (fast nur) Squash Matches macht er eine gute Figur, und ja, auch Ausstrahlung ist reichlich vorhanden, auch wenn ich da noch nicht vollständig überzeugt bin. Und bisher hat es AEW hervorragend geschafft ihn so gut dar zu stellen wie irgend möglich und Hook erfüllt seinen Part dazu. Ich hoffe nur, dass ihn die unendlich hohen Erwartungen nicht irgendwann mal böse zu Fall bringen, ich sehe das schon irgendwann kommen. Denn das, was die Fanwelt von ihm in Zukunft zu erwarten scheint, ist nahezu unmöglich zu erfüllen. Am Mikro hat man bisher auch nahezu gar nichts von ihm gesehen, was aber ganz gut ins Gimmick eingewoben wird. Also, sehr großes Talent, aber dank des Hypes auch eine extreme Fallhöhe und eine Hypothek die nur die Allerwenigsten zurückzahlen können. 6 Punkte mit ganz klarer Tendenz nach oben. EDIT: hat sich in allen Belangen etwas weiterentwickelt, aber jetzt auch keine riesigen Sprünge gemacht. Und schon merkt man, dass die Wertungen schlechter werden und der Hype abflaut. Dabei setzt AEW den Mann regelmäßig ein und gibt ihm auch storymäßig immer wieder was zu tun. Mal sehen wie er sich in den nächsten 12 Monaten entwickelt. Edit: Auch ein paar Jahre später bleibe ich bei 6 Punkte. Er ist ein solider Midcarder und konnte dem Hype natürlich nicht gerecht werden, was definitiv nicht seine Schuld ist. Er ist immer noch jung und unerfahren und konnte sich durchaus ein wenig in allen Bereichen verbessern, wenn auch nicht weltbewegend. Vielleicht kann er die nächsten Jahre einen Entwicklungssprung machen in Richtung Upper Midcard, das Potential dazu sollte vorhanden sein. Der ultimative Wrestlingmessias, den viele Fans aus ihm Machen wollten, wird er nicht. Am Ende hat ihm der Hype vermutlich mehr geschadet als geholfen. |

| 48 | 11.11.2024 | Antimaster | 3.0 | Sieht nach nix aus und hat nach nun drei Jahren bei AEW genau ein gutes Match bestritten (gegen Samoa Joe). Aktuell in keinster Weise auf dem Niveau, dass es für eine Wrestling TV-Show bräuchte. Was Hook stattdessen braucht, sind dutzende Indy-Bookings und zwei, drei Exkursionen nach Europa oder Japan. Stagniert seit seinem Debüt und ist weiterhin nicht in der Lage, gute längere Matches zu worken. Das reicht dann einfach nicht. Wer mal einen netten Vergleich will: Kosei Fujita und Ryohei Oiwa wrestlen ungefähr genauso lange wie Hook. Nun schaue man sich an, wo die beiden im Vergleich stehen. Damit müsste alles gesagt sein. |
| 49 | 07.11.2024 | benny5bellys | 5.0 | The wheels have very much come off. I am not entirely sure why he is getting so much TV time on the main shows. A guy who would hugely benefit from a few years on ROH and being told to go work as many independent shows as possible. |

| 51 | 24.10.2024 | Alaloeosnf | 4.0 | .Limited but has some tools, just needs more ring time or a reinvention of some sort. I do think he has a coolness to him though with his theme look and such, and he's only 2 years into his career so there's no need for me to be overly harsh. really. |

| 55 | 29.09.2024 | ARANmax | 2.0 | Watch any of his last ten matches and tell me this guy is anything about a mediocre, undertrained and uninteresting talent totally incapable of putting on a good program. One of the biggest failures of AEW canon, had a hot 2021 only because he was being put in job matches where he decimated his opponents with the same three maneuvres. He has about as much depth as Goldberg, without the aura or popularity. The worst combination. Makes my ears bleed whenever he is put on interviews -- a serial mumbling stutterer. Just trash, and it's not 100% his fault. Put in a spot before he could handle it or grasp what being a television wrestler entails (hence the 2/10 rather than 1). |

| 58 | 22.09.2024 | juan | 5.0 | He has been doing the same thing since 2021, he does not do good promos and he is still with the ftw championship and beating jobbers in 2 minutes, he has remained stagnant and it is not only Aew's fault but also his because it seems that he does not want to evolve, he has a great potential but still stagnant. |
| 59 | 09.09.2024 | JordyJacks | 7.0 | |
| 60 | 07.09.2024 | maven lover | 6.0 | Man, when this guy was introduced, I was super stoked on him and really wished the best for him, but as time has gone on, he has really shown how limited he is in ring. I'd love to see him really try to develop this badass quiet killer character, but neither his moveset nor his character has really evolved over the past 3 years, and if you're Tazz's kid and 3 years has gone by with no progress, that's kind of a concerning scene. I can't rate a 5 (neutral) in good conscience, but I'm definitely not going above 6 on this one, and to be honest honestly the 6 is probably just cuz I'm really, really rooting for him. |
| 61 | 03.09.2024 | Aquila Heliaca | 4.0 | His character isn't really interesting to me and it's carried up by other stablemates like Joe. Ring skill seems to be better than before but still he isn't above average in terms of in-ring skills. There is a big problem that he tends to be wasted in too long feuds like one with Jericho. |

| 71 | 26.07.2024 | Fan 420 | 9.0 | I always enjoy seeing Hook in the ring. He's another very agile, very nimble wrestler - and he's also really good at technical style wrestling. His Redrum submission finisher itself is a thing of beauty. He isn't as confident as he should be in promos, and that is the only reason he doesn't get a 10 out of 10 from me. |

| 88 | 18.05.2024 | Vortex434 | 5.0 | This guy has all the potential in the world but at the rate that he's going it's all being squandered, I am guessing the big idea of having him feud with jericho is so that he could hide most of his flaws and accentuate his strengths which ironically is the opposite of what has happened since the feud began and it also doesn't help in the slightest bit that Chris jericho can barely move in the ring. It's already been two whole years that this guy has been wrestling and yet hasn't shown much improvement he still can't cut a promo to save his life his moveset hasn't improved it's still just suplexes galore and not much else and he probably has the most unbelievable finisher in wrestling and it also isn't helping that most of his matches have been against significantly larger opponents like are you seriously telling me that neither samoa Joe or Brian cage could muscle their way out of his red rum? Or that they can't just scramble to the ropes while piggybacking him? The way I see things the best thing this guy could for his career is that when his Aew contract expires he should either go to nxt or maybe if he doesn't want to join the wwe he should go on an excursion to either new japan or cmll to get some experience rather than feuding with Jericho over the FTW belt. |

And if you believe that this man is 6' and 200 pounds you're more delusional than Tony Khan for investing a cent into him. |
| 97 | 23.04.2024 | boymeetsworld | 6.0 | |
| 98 | 22.04.2024 | HardcoreRobbo2k97 | 2.0 | Hook really needs to build on his character development and storytelling as whenever he's in the squared circle, he's extremely boring with absolutely no charisma and positivity about him. At the moment I don't see him having a promising career in Pro Wrestling unless he gets proper training in his promos and overall wrestling as his capabilities are weak. I don't know why fans cheer for him or say positive things about the Cold Handsome Devil as I don't see any potential within this kid what so ever. |
| 99 | 22.04.2024 | gargoylesmain | 5.0 | At a good position for his age and years of in ring experience, but definitely still green. Over the next year or so he will need to start developing his character. Could benefit from transitioning to ROH for awhile and finding a proper feud with one of the younger guys also training there. |
