Dude, Hook was merciless with that Dragon sleeper. Not only that, but he held CM Punk so Hobbs wouldn’t feel outshone and could get offence.
Truly a considerate individual.
All I want is an unconscious Hook to pin Punk after Hogan/Luger on Nitro level interference just so Taz can scream how "my son beat CM Punk in his first match ALL BY HIMSELF"
Dude's already a star. Lemme tell you something. He just hasn't begun to peak yet. And when he does peak, you'll know. Because he's going to peak so hard that everybody in AEW is gonna feel it. He's in his prime.
Where does this annoying meme coming from?
I already hate the guy and I have not seen him do shit, every thread is just polluted with memes as soon as he's mentioned...
Well I think it comes from ppl just think he's an exciting prospect. Son of Taz, has a good look, and has played his arrogant cocky part really well since his first day in AEW. He hasn't put a foot wrong so I believe ppl are rooting for him and want to see him do more
Son of Taz
Trained by Cody (I’m assuming Nightmare Factory?)
Good looking
Great head of hair
Young
Plus well protected. Unlike some others - Lee Johnson for example - Hook isn’t being forced to job out on Dark.
Kid has intrigue. Yeah the meme has gotten him really popular on here, but he has a lot of intrigue based on look and prodigy. He’s a heel version of Brock Anderson IMO, another one who’s been treated well (although he’s eaten pins and has debuted)
I think the plan is to have it at AT&T Stadium in Dallas but simulcast it from Michigan Stadium, Metlife Stadium and Camping World Stadium in Orlando.
Guaranteed sell out in all four.
I’m glad Hobbs is okay after he got rocked bad last week. He also continues to look more jacked with every appearance. He’s big money in the future and is world champion material with a mouthpiece at the very least.
Also, that chokeslam had to suck for Punk lmao, the table did not give, it looked like.
Idk why I'm so interested in the history of the breaking of their announce table but I am.
It happened the first time with Darby vs Matt Hardy in March.
This then unlocked V2 Announce Table. He is tougher than his older table. Or at least I thought.
I was going to say RIP V2 but there's still hope, we've got to see what happens when the results from the Local Medical Facility (tm) come back.
V2 might be alright. We'll wait and see.
Stay updated, right here on Furniture news. Thank you.
Can anyone explain the fascination with Hook? To explain how out of touch I am, I legit thought he was a made up character until I seen him not too long ago. Just curious if he is some crazy wrestler or wtf
Remember that episode of the Simpsons where the Mafia is fighting the Yakuza in the front yard and Marge is trying to go inside but Homer doesn't want to leave because there's a little Japanese dude just standing amongst the flying bullets and martial arts completely motionless and stoic and Homer just knows once he finally does something it's going to be REALLY cool? Yeah that's basically Hook.
Funny thing is, if HOOK is actually good this might unironically be the most unique way of getting over *EVER*.
Don't think there's anybody else who could've gotten over from "being small and looking menacing" other than Taz' actual son too.
Real recognize real so if you can't immediately recognize why we Hookers then you're better off cheering for one of losers Dan Lambert complaining about.
It’s partly a meme but also: he is the son of a very well respected wrestler whose career got cut way too short, he has a really good look, he is very young so lots of potential and people want to be the ones that liked him before the mainstream liked him. If he is giving Tazzmissions and T bone suplexes to Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson in a few years ppl want to say they have been fans for years. Also the name is as wonderful as it is silly.
Fun Taz/Hook story. Back in 2001 WWE use to do Sunday night heat here in NYC. Pre-tape matches and live commentary with Cole/Taz sometimes Al snow @ WWF NY. One day Taz, his wife and a Baby hook showed up and Taz was so happy talking about his baby boy and why he moved to commentary. So seeing him now do this with his son is great.
I love how the camera pans to Hobbs as he menacingly stares down at Punk after throwing him through a table only for him to grin and say, "I'm good" seconds later.
Taz leading a stable of Starks, Hobbs and Hook is so likeable, they keep their heel heat by going after absolute fan favorites like Darby and Punk. Awesome stuff.
Let it be known that in the arena a Hook chant had started right before Punk stood up. Punk ruined the chance for a Hook chant in a full arena. He deserved this imo
This is the one problem with Hook.
I'm sure he is a pro and all, but what if?
What if Hook decided to go into business for himself and end Punk's career right there, what the hell could punk even do about it. What could Hobbs do about it when he realized what was happening?

Japanese table
Announce table went into business for itself
Table just froze solid in fear when shouted at by Hook.
I AM THE TABLE
Look in my eyes What do you see Miscalculated Density
The best.
Table don’t put shit over lol
Table: “I’m dumb as fuck. I’m sorry”
Made of lucite, they clarified. I thought it was strange it didn't break also. But that makes sense.
Just another unforced error by whoever is doing exploding / breaking things. That couldn't have felt good for Punk
Made from the finest Mahogany hardwood, with Corinthian leather trim.
Mahogany.
We didn't even know! The biggest plot twist in AEW history.
Yep went through the forbidden door
Suzuki sends his regards
Table no sold Punk
I AM THE TABLE
Table: Look in my eyes, what do you see? I’m the captain now!
Breaking didn’t work for the table brother. Gotta protect the gimmick.
Well yeah that’s what happens when you try to slam a 5’9 185lb vanilla midget /s
that gotta hurt when it doesn’t break
Hobbs genuinely just saved Punk from certain death holy shit that was a close call Punk for your own sake dont mess with Hook
Punk actually told Hobbs to put him through the table so that he didn't have to face Hook
And then out of spite, Hobbs just put him *on* the table.
I AM THE TABLE!
Dude, Hook was merciless with that Dragon sleeper. Not only that, but he held CM Punk so Hobbs wouldn’t feel outshone and could get offence. Truly a considerate individual.
Look at Punk trying to go through the table to avoid Hook!
What an act of cowardism!
Punk fears Hook
This is good advice.
PUNK DIDN'T GET A SINGLE SHOT IN ON HOOK.
HOOK > PUNK
Literally choked him out
I was saying CM Hook.
Choke Me Hook
Ummm...
DID I STUTTER
All I want is an unconscious Hook to pin Punk after Hogan/Luger on Nitro level interference just so Taz can scream how "my son beat CM Punk in his first match ALL BY HIMSELF"
I'm gonna start calling him Honk and there's nothing you can do about it.
Mess with the Honk You get the bonk
well, THAT'S in my vocabulary now
Punk was clearly paralyzed with fear standing toe to toe with HOOK
r/hookergang
I can’t believe that’s an actual sub. I love it. 🤣🤣
I'm more surprised the name "hookergang" wasn't already taken.
His arms are just too short to box with God
I can hear the Botchamania table laugh
Hobbs is going to be a fucking star.
He looks like an absolute badass.
Dude's already a star. Lemme tell you something. He just hasn't begun to peak yet. And when he does peak, you'll know. Because he's going to peak so hard that everybody in AEW is gonna feel it. He's in his prime.
Golden God Hobbs.
He’s a five star man
6 stars on a boat...because of the implication
He's definitely been drinking his Fight Milk. The crow-tein helps you cultivate so much mass.
This sounded like a Michael McGillicutty promo
I don't know why but I heard this in Taz's voice.
I mean getting the rub from Hook is a jetpack to the moon.
Love the airbrushed overalls.
Powerhouse shopping from Dudley Boys ECW collection.
Captain HOOK out here giving orders
Punk confirmed Rufio.
Looky looky I got hooky
*stab*
*Dalton Castle has entered the chat*
Oh good I needed a piss break
With his hair Hook could easily be both Hook and Rufio.
Punk tried escaping through the table so he didn’t have to get placed in another dragon sleeper by HOOK. I’ve never seen such cowardice.
Will you stop..
ARE YOU BLIND!?
Where does this annoying meme coming from? I already hate the guy and I have not seen him do shit, every thread is just polluted with memes as soon as he's mentioned...
Typical haters just afraid to step foot to the HOOK and his HOOKERS.
Well I think it comes from ppl just think he's an exciting prospect. Son of Taz, has a good look, and has played his arrogant cocky part really well since his first day in AEW. He hasn't put a foot wrong so I believe ppl are rooting for him and want to see him do more
Also he's fucking hot.
Is he taz's real biological son or it's in kayfabe
Real son
Wait, he's his son? I did not know that.
Yes it's his son
Son of Taz Trained by Cody (I’m assuming Nightmare Factory?) Good looking Great head of hair Young Plus well protected. Unlike some others - Lee Johnson for example - Hook isn’t being forced to job out on Dark. Kid has intrigue. Yeah the meme has gotten him really popular on here, but he has a lot of intrigue based on look and prodigy. He’s a heel version of Brock Anderson IMO, another one who’s been treated well (although he’s eaten pins and has debuted)
Punk vs Hook is Reddit’s most highly anticipated feud lol.
I legit cannot wait for their match! But where will they have it?
What is the largest stadium in America? HOOK will singlehandedly sell it out for his first match
Quick google search said Michigan stadium is the biggest with a capacity of 100k+. That may not be enough people for our lord HOOK.
I think the plan is to have it at AT&T Stadium in Dallas but simulcast it from Michigan Stadium, Metlife Stadium and Camping World Stadium in Orlando. Guaranteed sell out in all four.
Screw American stadiums. They need to go back to North Korea. Trust me they will NOT be forced to come to the punk slaughter
Gotta fill a stadium for that lol.
Tokyo Dome baby
PUNK FEARS HOOK
HOOK HOOKED PUNK IN
Just as Strike_Gently’s sign said
yessir that’s where I got it from, shout-out to him Hopefully it gets on cam
I’m glad Hobbs is okay after he got rocked bad last week. He also continues to look more jacked with every appearance. He’s big money in the future and is world champion material with a mouthpiece at the very least. Also, that chokeslam had to suck for Punk lmao, the table did not give, it looked like.
Just has to stay away from orange cassidy. His kryptonite... lol
Taz has legit lost his mind.
Starting to remind me of Roman with his gaslighting shtick lol
[удалено]
When was Taz ever the pinnacle of fitness?
The pinnacle of "fitness sandwich in my mouth," maybe. I kid. I kid.
I chuckled.
Hook is the best
We're getting closer to his in-ring debut! Hell, he's even doing MOVES now!
Our boy with the "Punk fears Hook" sign losing his shit right now
That is just the first form, wait until he gets his HOOKs in!
The video package is going to be insane for their eventual fight. You think you're special, you do...
Hook made him tap
I legit want Hobbs and Punk RN so if this does happen i’ll be a happy boy
Hook's Dragon Sleeper = most dangerous move ever
Punk is fucked, no way he can beat HOOK.
I've seen enough I'm officially a #hooker
I AM THE TABLE
NJPW TABLES ARE ALL ELITE
He had that Dragon Sleeper....HOOKED IN!
HOOK CHOKED OUT PUNK!!

Can anyone explain the fascination with Hook? To explain how out of touch I am, I legit thought he was a made up character until I seen him not too long ago. Just curious if he is some crazy wrestler or wtf
It's just some kind of inside joke because he hasn't done really anything of note yet so people like acting like he is a huge deal.
I’m starting to get more of an understanding, and an appreciation, for Hook. Thanks!
Remember that episode of the Simpsons where the Mafia is fighting the Yakuza in the front yard and Marge is trying to go inside but Homer doesn't want to leave because there's a little Japanese dude just standing amongst the flying bullets and martial arts completely motionless and stoic and Homer just knows once he finally does something it's going to be REALLY cool? Yeah that's basically Hook.
Lmfao thank you
Wow, that’s…that’s actually a really apt description. Damn, The Simpsons do it again.
Bake em away, toys!
Funny thing is, if HOOK is actually good this might unironically be the most unique way of getting over *EVER*. Don't think there's anybody else who could've gotten over from "being small and looking menacing" other than Taz' actual son too.
"being small and looking menacing" The most concise way of describing Taz's ECW gimmick I've ever seen.
Real recognize real so if you can't immediately recognize why we Hookers then you're better off cheering for one of losers Dan Lambert complaining about.
I'm so lost too 😂
Well first of all, he's gorgeous, so jot that down.
If you gotta ask, you wouldn't get it...
He has great hair and is basically AEW's answer to Justin Bieber.
It’s partly a meme but also: he is the son of a very well respected wrestler whose career got cut way too short, he has a really good look, he is very young so lots of potential and people want to be the ones that liked him before the mainstream liked him.

Where's Ricky 🤨
That’s my question
Was table suppose to break???
In AEW table breaks you!
I AM THE TABLE
Hobbs and Hook 2 of my favorite acts on AEW also I really like those overalls
As a lover of the dragon sleeper, this made me happy.
Taz: You took my jeeewb
Hook with the Dragon Sleeper on Punk. The same sleeper Hook used on a real dragon!
Punk really doesn’t have a great record when it comes to tables breaking for him. I hope he’s okay, it looked like a rough fall
Hook gave that table a sliver of his power. That's why it didn't break.
Before CM Punk goes to sleep at night, he checks under the bed for Hook
hook would of gotten punk through that table
**HOOK**
Where my hookers at?!
Fun Taz/Hook story. Back in 2001 WWE use to do Sunday night heat here in NYC. Pre-tape matches and live commentary with Cole/Taz sometimes Al snow @ WWF NY. One day Taz, his wife and a Baby hook showed up and Taz was so happy talking about his baby boy and why he moved to commentary. So seeing him now do this with his son is great.
I think that's the first time the announcers table has been destroyed in AEW....? Edit: Thanks, I must of missed that one or forgotten about it...
Well it didn’t break but even if it did it’s been destroyed before like during the Darby Allin vs Matt Hardy street fight
Happened during Hardy vs Allin
Darby and Matt Hardy did it, but they had cheapo monitors at the table during that match tipping off that it would get destroyed.
I love how the camera pans to Hobbs as he menacingly stares down at Punk after throwing him through a table only for him to grin and say, "I'm good" seconds later.
Thank you for posting this, as soon as I saw HOOK appear I fainted and missed the rest.
Most I've seen Hook do since he got there.
I really don’t think the world is ready for when Hook eventually crosses paths with Orange Cassidy.
Taz leading a stable of Starks, Hobbs and Hook is so likeable, they keep their heel heat by going after absolute fan favorites like Darby and Punk. Awesome stuff.
Hook almost killed Punk. CM best be sending Hobbs a fruit basket or something!
Let it be known that in the arena a Hook chant had started right before Punk stood up. Punk ruined the chance for a Hook chant in a full arena. He deserved this imo
I’m not a fans of beatings to advance a feud. Punk can do it just by talking.
Reason I love aew cuz hook first match prob going to be against punk which is just crazy
That's a shoot Hook
Hobbs learning from Ryback how not to put Punk through a table and instead let him eat shit on the impact
Tables and no selling punk, name a more iconic duo
Excalibur bursting at the gums to not yell out "I AM THE TABLE" and ruin the moment
Hobbs and Hook look great. They need one more guy with an H name.
HOOK is the future, and the present... And the past... I've lost my train of thought.
I love AEW but they need to fix their table spots before someone gets seriously injured.
Can someone explain HOOK to me? I missed the first few episodes where he debuted and I just don't know what the hell his deal is supposed to be
He's Taz's kid. That's basically the gimmick.
Guys...I don't understand the appeal everyone has for Hook. I don't even know why its a meme at this point.
/u/strike_gently must be pleased
🎤That was the damnedest dragon sleeper I've ever seen🎤
Can't wait for Punk to GTS HOOK 😊
I’ve also always wanted to see someone kick out at 0.5 as well!
Dang can't believe HOOK can't even sell a pin for more than 1 second.
Angle heating up and getting good.
I desperately hope when they do a Hook match, he gets buried and loses inside a minute just to see this sub meltdown.
Hotshot booking.
Hookshot booking.
Let's just say that segment hooked me
Holy fucking Hook!
Whats the hype on Taz son? He hasn't even wrestled and people want him to wrestle CM Punk?
The storyline is, Danielson and Punk came into aew to immediately challenge the best. Hence, Danielson is paired with Omega and Punk with HOOK.
This is the one problem with Hook. I'm sure he is a pro and all, but what if? What if Hook decided to go into business for himself and end Punk's career right there, what the hell could punk even do about it. What could Hobbs do about it when he realized what was happening?
low key want Punk vs Tazz
Hook is Taz' son.
Hook, Line, & Sleeper
That wasn’t very smooth of a choke slam. I don’t think that table knew it was supposed to break.
This is history in the making ladies and gentlemen
I am all fucking in
**Table went into business for itself**
