Stuff like this is what I miss about wrestling. This was almost an MMA presentation. Theme music is good and fits him well. His attitude is great, not jumping up and down and hugging people, just business. In the ring it was a short match but he seems to have his basics down. And he's only like 22 years old. Tons of potential.

Hook was better than expected. Props to Feugo too. I like how AEW allows everybody to develop their own identity in the ring and they don’t force them to learn a specific style. Hook reminded a lot of these old AEW guys with a basic yet explosive ring style that combines grappling and brawling. His overall charisma, it comes out very natural. It’s one match but looks like a good prospect.

In addition to a perfect debut from Hook and a perfect partner in Fuego, I'd like to also shout out that AEW was smart in having Excalibur and TAZ focus on the technical aspects of the match, calling the moves perfectly at every turn. So instead of a match based on emotion, it was all business which helped sell Hook's acumen even more. Hell, TAZ didn't even bad mouth Fuego, which is smart to present it as a real competition not a debut of a legacy. Very smart. AEW gets it.
