The Human Suplex Machine and current AEW broadcaster, Taz, recently chatted with The New York Post about his son HOOK.
HOOK has been one of the hottest rookies on the scene this year and currently holds the FTW title in Tony Khan’s promotion. Taz spoke on his son’s use in AEW, his relationship with hip hop star Action Bronson, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
How AEW is handling HOOK: “He’s gonna be handled different. 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 making an impact on AEW television: “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?’ 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 teaming with Action Bronson, and how it reminds Taz of the Hart Foundation: “That’s always stuck in my head. Imagine getting two guys [Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart] that have that kind of vibe, and that’s what I think when you see Hook and Action Bronson compete. You’re gonna see the Porsche and the tank. I promise you.”
HOOK will be teaming with Action Bronson to compete against “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard and “Cool Hand Ang” Angelo Parker on this Friday’s edition of AEW Rampage emanating from Arthur Ashe Stadium in a special, two-hour episode.
