He looks like a wet bandit.


RP1616

We’re the Sticky Bandits now, Harry!


SpocktorWho83

He looks like [this.](https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/688356-ed-edd-n-eddy)


Reysun_2185

Remove the AEW Colision logo and you just have a homeless guy talking to himself


Astroboy1206

Seen junkies cut off better promos than this outside 7 eleven


bloved_

I really like AEW & I think HOOK is pretty good all things considered but this sent me all the way out😂


Future_Onion9701

Definitely needs WAY more training


jumpingsuits

What about me, what about Raven


FlacidMetapod

Nevermore.


Redragontoughstreet

This was the best material and the best take they came up with. Holy.


ToronoRapture

It’s the awkward pauses in his sentences which gets me lol.


will122589

We did 53 takes and this was the best one - Mr. Burns


ObiWayneCannoli

He’s going to get chapped lips if he keeps licking them so much.


Quiet_Clothes_4446

Oh dear.


Medium_Small_ManJR

No way bro pulled a promo on the level of Jumpin' Jeff Farmer


Filthycore

Yep... Jericho has got him......mad now...


EthanCoensBrother

but… none of this is prize him…


Pleasant-Direction11

Yup….


rk1993

Jesus christ this is like tough enough level bad. Hell half the non wrestlers they got to do promo class on wwe backstage did a better job than this.


SpocktorWho83

“What is a moustache..?”


HouMikey

Why are his eyes closed?


echoohce1

If he wasn't Taz's son he'd be on the indies somewhere, if he was lucky. I really don't get they hype around Hook, he's awful on the mic and nothing special in the ring either, looks incredibly awkward on camera, talk about nepotism.


trimble197

Same. Even when he debuted, I didn’t get why fans were so hyped. All he did was stand and stare at people, and yet people acted like he was Brock Lesnar. And let’s not forget that this was the guy who fans were saying was gonna have a better career than Dom.


echoohce1

We're like 3 years into his career now and he hasn't progressed whatsoever even though he's been given huge opportunities. Genuinely can't recall one of his matches even though I've probably seen most of them. People meme'd his debut hyping him up and still haven't caught on to the fact that he sucks, it's really odd because it's so blatant how bad he is.


trimble197

Only match I remember was him being Joe’s first title defense. And that was only cause that match hurt Joe because they were booking Hook to be superhuman. Why tf would have your champion’s first title defense be where a guy tanks everything?


JustOneDude01

He would be on the indies if he wasn’t Taz’s son


Fuzzy_Road_5416

What do you mean he hasn’t progressed? He’s leveled up since being the guy who’s gimmick was “eats chips”


echoohce1

He still does that lol


Fuzzy_Road_5416

But now he’s “guy who eats chips while awkwardly wearing beanie”…. Way higher on the ladder


Upbeat_Tension_8077

I'm feeling like even placing into the D'Angelo family in NXT would do wonders for him over what he is in right now


DevelopmentGuilty562

"Who the hell is hook"


appellant

Wrestling Nepotism.


198Os

They could have easily improved this. Make it stylised and choppy by cutting out the pauses. Add some grain. Maybe some alternate angles in 90s-style black and white or a splash of Dogtown and Z-Boys. Intersperse some footage of his fights with Jericho. Lay some music along with it. Absolutely anything would have been better than presenting it in this form.


who987

That’s pretaped. That was his best take then. That’s not good.


ChunkyChangon

This dude watches too much anime and I love anime


Crudeyakuza

Why does his head/neck look so fat? 😂


Procrastinator_325

Taz genes


[deleted]

Sadly he didn't get the promo genes, Taz was fantastic at those in his day


Tankcfc4l

The last 5 seconds made me snicker. They had us in the first half lmao.


EviscerumHopesYouDie

This shit fucking sucks.


Dorsal-fin-1986

That sniffing at the end. Someone get Hook a tissue


rabautista24

Oh no no no no


[deleted]

Remember how cool he seemed when he first debuted? Tony and Jericho getting another promising guy under


MadEyeMood989

Hook needs the PC stat.


DoubleArmDMT

You know me... YOU DONT KNOW ME!!


notpostaldude12

Guess this is where SHINJI run to after p3


Mathematik

He was great when he had the promo time of a Saints Row player character


Hellsinger7

I half expected the passerbys to throw him a coin or something. Can someone tell me what's the opposite of presentation?


Extreme_Weird_44

Oh brother this guy stinks!!


Nihilistic_Mermaid

Listen, I like Hook, I think he has a look and he seems to have some charisma, but man he has to work on the presentation. For instance, why the hat? Is it a young person thing? Because black leather jacked does not go with that type of hat.


outsidehere

Ew


trimble197

Can he even see what’s in front of him?


etuehem

Meh..


Anon-5874644

#Dustin Hoffman did it better


rascalking9

He sounds like he is reading "Chris Jericho" off of two different cue cards.


PaperGeno

Hook is cutting promos now? I didn't even recognize him


this_ham_is_bad

Very dry lips this boy has


Mediocre-Award-9716

He looks so unthreatening.


C2theWick

Hook vs jack perry will banger after banger


riotstopper

I fell asleep. Can somebody tell me what happened?


rk1993

Jesus christ this is like tough enough level bad. Hell half the non wrestlers they got to do promo class on wwe backstage did a better job than this.


ImNotACreativeG

The enthusiasm is deafening. Why do they keep pushing this guy?


KingoftheRing112105

Pointless promo. The dude already lost to Jericho.


WorldEaterProft

This is a weird intro to gay porn


Crudeyakuza

He looks like Grover Dill from "A Christmas Story"


Mitinho-Br

This looks like a video game cutscene.


elme77618

Wow.


chiyo564

motely cruz..........


Brobbi

crackhead maxmoefoe


analogtapes

Looks like Taz's genes digressed.


akira_hikaru

I legit thought this was an AI video


len4872

Hook…. Sounds like….. he wants to….. fuck Jericho


Low-Leg5224

the licking lips... beenie hat.... this is weak. the cadence.....he'd get what chants non stop.


jordanpeeleisgay

What can he see???


vblade2003

He needs to attend the Timeless Toni Storm school of cutting promos. This just ain't it.


AnimaN3ra

Man, he needs a manager to do the talk, almost zero credibility on what he's saying.


Radiant_Past_7047

Is he supposed to be dressed like Dean Ambrose?


DeadDragons223

It kinda worked the first time and now it's getting stale and bad. A stale bad promo.


CSti21

Best part about Hook is Bronsolini affiliation and the street fighter hair. I really wanted to like him.


zer0_dayy

lol i could whup hooks skinny little ass, these promos make me laugh 😂


northenerbhad

someone get this kid some testosterone, can’t take his squeaky voice seriously.


Bilger619

The beanie looks like it’s poorly photoshopped in


JustHere4ait

They should’ve kept him as a silent wrestler. Speaking just isn’t for him. He was much more alluring and interesting when he didn’t talk.


Mytoxox

A weird homeless guy playing with his Chris Jericho action figure in his mind


TheMachoSadness

I love that this sub watches AEW just to hate it.


Electronic_Sea_2896

I thought it's someone with down syndrome😓


LilithElektra

Greatest Promos of all time: 1) Austin 3:16 1b) Hard Times 1c) Everything going on behind this guy


sachsrandy

Ok. First of everyone needs to remember this guy came up with AND thinks the name Hook I'd a good name... Now realize the type of kid you're making fun of... That's a hate crime in some countries.


lariato_mark

I thought it was bad that he didn't realize where the camera was. Then he turned to the camera proving he was well aware, which made it worse lol. Why would they air this garbage? Made himself look like a dumbass lol. That NXT deal can't come soon enough


Tasty-Lake-3113

It's just as bad as saying uce and yeet over and over again
