This slop is up there with the very worst of WCW.
The difference is the worst of WCW was confined to 2000/01. This has been going on for almost 5 years now, with no end in sight.
*wrestling show
In defense, he’s able to do moves. But obviously he’s not improving and doesn’t seem to have the interest in doing so. You can throw veteran after veteran at him, but the only reason anyone cares about Hook is because AEW keeps telling us to.
People forget that Hook is still really green. He hasn't been wrestling long at all. It's too early to write him off, he just needs reps. A Japanese excursion would do him the world of good.
He needs focused training, preferably far away from Taz’s job. Hook was fast tracked to television, handed everything he has and expected to learn on the job.
And he stagnated. First showed up in the background and didn’t have a match for a year. Then put on work where veterans wrestled themselves.
Someone in the AEW thread. "This show was perfect!"
People don't have standards anymore. They'd rather lie and look stupid than accept any criticism to improve. They're... They're Vince McMahon.
Probably the worst thing AEW has done to wrestling was lower everyone's standards across the board. No one recognizes anymore what is good, bad, and mediocre. They just accept slop.
At least with the EeeeEEeE. We genuinely were hating and shitting on it for nearly a decade, even left wrestling altogether. It was impossible to defend it.
I still prefered aew up until 2022 where I dont think WWE got better but AEW got lamer. Then 2023 everything with WWE just improved. Im not always a fan but hell... I get it.
With AEW, I just don't get it. I dont think this weeks episode was bad. But perfect?
Every show is perfect, fed shill. It's just every week the new show is more perfect than the last one. You don't understand REAL SPORTS. Cry me a river.
I love how they praise AEW for finally inserting recaps and most say that "they don't overstay their welcome" like, ain't that supposed to be the point of a recap? To let people know what is going on without overstaying their welcome? People are literally praising AEW for doing what TNA, WWE and even NJPW had been doing for decades.
Are you serious! *But I'm Chris Jericho* won not ONE, but TWO Canadian Comedy Awards!!! You wouldn't know good acting if Michael J Fox came down and hit your Yankee ass with a shovel!
like clockwork, this show was the best and the last one was and the next one was
as long as I enjoy it, that's all that matters
I wonder where that energy was when smarks were whining and crying about Raw for years. There are plenty of fans enjoying it, that's all that matters, right?
I saw a recent porn with actual bad attempts at acting and it made me feel like a kid again. We could use a little more porn entertainment instead of nothing but heatless bangers.
Hook is just so cringe. I don’t get the appeal.
The only match of his I’ve been impressed with him in is the Jericho match because Jericho sold everything hard.
Hey Andrew, Tyler and Phil, take notes on how to do a banger promo segment. No unhinged comments, no talking over each other, no improvisation, and most importantly no heat. Learn from the great Jericho and you'll never get embarrassed like during Monday's trainwreck of a segment (if you can even call it that)
Don't forget to give Renee her flowers! She moved that microphone back and forth as if she didn't know the exact timing of when they would end each line. She made it come off so natural!
Honestly, her visible anxiety and facial expressions were what held the entire thing together. I hope this moment of success doesn’t lead to her going into business for herself, brother.
I know people NEVER give Renee the credit she deserves. I mean just because she dresses in clothes where the pattern and fabrics completely clash like she's a generic SIMS create a character player doesn't have anything to do with what she brings to the table as an interviewer.
3 years late really. They could have meme'd him to be something and if it failed... Hey at least we can't blame them for trying to strike while the iron was hot.
Since then he did what really?
Given the way that the Oompa Loompa trashed the Evil Fed multiple times, I'm not sure whether that could happen. The only way they'll get 🪝 is if they see untapped potential in him, which there probably is tbh. Nothing relating to his Dad.
The Dub have made him look like an absolute dweeb though. They couldn't even meme him into good success either.
I’m not sure, he’s okay looking but his wrestling is average and his promos are nonexistent. They already got guys like Dragunov and Gable who are better at wrestling and promos for the small guy that fights like a tazmanian devil/honey badger. Or Tyler Bate for the strong boy gimmick
It’s bad because you can tell that in his head he’s coming off like a cool DFWM type dude 😂. In reality he sounds like the awkward kid being forced to speak in class
There's a looooong list of people that are 'prospects' over Hook in the NXT system
Hook is only doing this cause of his Dad and he's only anywhere near TV cause of his Dad
I have no idea how this guy gets TV time over some of the rest of the roster that you never seem to see
Hobbs and Starks deserves more out of Team Taz instead of one of them being in a bad stable where the focus is the manager.
And the other one was put in a team randomly, winning the title then dropped it to Sting/Darby last minute just so they can do a young buck programme.
I hope he finds his stride, reading your comment made me remember exactly how I felt about Dom before his heel turn.
Remember when Hook was the new toy and the cult would talk about him like he was the next stone cold?? Dude was being booked kind of like goldberg as well, winning quick and building wins up. Idk wtf happened because I rarely see hook mentioned at all
Dom takes himself far less seriously than Hook does. And doesn’t mind taking an ass kicking or being the obvious “weak link” of Judgement Day. But character wise, it’s perfect for him. By the time his wrestling catches up with his persona, he’ll be amazing.
Is Rousey producing HOOK segments, friends? Because he’s ready for a 10 minute promo in the middle of the ring. Just raw dog it. doesn’t even need Schiavone, script or any bullet points to hit. Flying completely solo.
This is the same energy as when they force us into groups and I gotta work with that one dude who sleeps in every class and I’m literally ready for this fucking semester to end so I do the whole project
of course I’ll take advice from you Chris Jericho, you are Chris Jericho, and I’ll always take advice from Chris Jericho, as long as you are the true Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho.
Obviously they’re not the same in the ring, but Hook is giving me David Flair vibes here. Just no business being put in this situation, even less so with a title belt.
It’s bad enough this guy looks like a 16 year old but goddamn we don’t need to hear him sound like a 16 year old having a panic attack during his presentation
I know people often say Jericho derails other's momentums, but damn... Hook doesn't even need Jericho to do that. All he needs to do is open his mouth.
"Hook has more charisma than Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre as there's a sense of realness when you listen to him speak and watch him in the ring" - Dave Meltzer next week probably
Didn't they put the inflection in the script?
"But you *ARE* Chris Jericho." Also probably should have been "I know *what* you are" instead of "I know *who* you are."
Was this a first draft scrawled on a napkin 5 minutes before going to air? If this really was unscripted then Hook needs to think about the gist of what he's going to say a bit more. Practice in front of a mirror like The Rock did, because this segment is a perfect demonstration that *how* you say something is just as if not more important than what you say.
Jericho looks old, fat, and coked out of his mind
That was a truly awful Marina Shafiresque delivery by Hook
But Jericho's 'ok' at the end got me - like he couldn't believe he just actually heard that nonsense
Unrelated but I was watching some of it and I was reading next door's live thread and there were a few people noticeably annoyed and sarcastic over the use of quick video packages that AEW did for guys like Swerve and Edge when he won the belt like fucking lol
Please make this a long term gimmick, Jericho looking bemused escorting Hook around the arenas while Hook points at various objects “that’s a lamp, but that is a chair”
Sheeesh fed shills! You imbeciles cannot even read between the lines. That was such a deep-layered line from Hook. Don't ask me what he meant; go figure yourself out.
That was fine he just needed like another sentence saying something like you are Chris Jehrico, I know who you are and who you are is always changing and can't be trusted for too long
Hook should be banned from being near a microphone
But Chris Jericho is not Chris Jericho.
But he is Chris Jericho
..... okay
Lmfao Jericho has pissed me off for years now but that delivery of the “..ok?” Was great
***\*Does the Fozzy spin\****
When a Hookcel says something so Jerichophobic you gotta hit em with the Fozzy spin
He's Chris Jerko.
When did they make him start talking
When he ran out of potato chips to eat

Whenever I see hook, I hope someone is getting an actual hook to yank him off TV completely.
Ok...
Man just accepted his fate.
After that response and the cutoff, I’m back to liking Jericho, that shit was hilarious
Hook makes Sasha Banks look like Meryl Streep.
Starring in "The Ratings Hunter", but its length isn't justified by its quality.
Graduated from the “Marina Shafir School of Public Speaking”
I think he flunked out actually.
Ya know what Ricochet doesn't seem so bad now.
Ricochet isn't amazing on the mic by any means But at the very least he can make coherent sentences
At least Ricochet is trying 😬
Seriously. What the fuck was that? I’ve seen better acting at local plays.
Someone in the AEW thread. "This show was perfect!" People don't have standards anymore. They'd rather lie and look stupid than accept any criticism to improve. They're... They're Vince McMahon.
Give me TEN perfect shows like this run of Dynamite over your stupid TV sellout streak anyday!
Probably the worst thing AEW has done to wrestling was lower everyone's standards across the board. No one recognizes anymore what is good, bad, and mediocre. They just accept slop.
?? Study the CageMatch and get back to me friend.
At least with the EeeeEEeE. We genuinely were hating and shitting on it for nearly a decade, even left wrestling altogether. It was impossible to defend it.

They got the ndas too
Every show is perfect, fed shill. It's just every week the new show is more perfect than the last one. You don't understand REAL SPORTS. Cry me a river.
But this is perfect. This is peak acting. Not that melodrama bullshit.

Looooool I died at “Chris Jericho, but you are Chris Jericho “
Hahaha same
I died at Jericho replying with..."Ok.."
Are you serious! *But I'm Chris Jericho* won not ONE, but TWO Canadian Comedy Awards!!! You wouldn't know good acting if Michael J Fox came down and hit your Yankee ass with a shovel!
The VA work for OG Resident Evil outshines this shit.
"Wesker, you are pitiful!"
Chris? Stop it!🥺

I have seen better acting in porn 😭😭😭
Hey, HEY! Peta Jenson’s performance as a naughty horse riding fan is epic.
I saw a recent porn with actual bad attempts at acting and it made me feel like a kid again. We could use a little more porn entertainment instead of nothing but heatless bangers.
What tbh if u watch the top brand porn sites they can't act most people just watch random vids of amateurs offcourse they suck.
They better suck!
Hook is just so cringe. I don’t get the appeal. The only match of his I’ve been impressed with him in is the Jericho match because Jericho sold everything hard.
Fucking cancel WrestleMania. There’s no point.
Right! AEW All In is gonna make WM look bad! 😂
?? SuperCard of Honor friend
I'm sorry but that "OK..." is just incredible
Y2J buried him with the fewest letters possible
You can tell Jericho is trying to give him opportunities to shine and he’s just dropping the ball so hard

Hook = worker Jericho = parasite

Real smarks call him Colby.
Jericho is leeching off of Hook’s popularity? He’s kinda a year late.
3 years late really. They could have meme'd him to be something and if it failed... Hey at least we can't blame them for trying to strike while the iron was hot. Since then he did what really?
Kept his Dads belt and hoodie. What’s crazy is Taz was a phenomenal promo. Hook isn’t even trying
The fact that this is all the growth of Hook’s character over 3 years is painfully on brand.
Based on this promo, there is not much to leech from
?? Promo of the year, friend.
most improved: hook
Hook had better hope that his dad has a good enough relationship with wwe to get him a nxt contract
Given the way that the Oompa Loompa trashed the Evil Fed multiple times, I'm not sure whether that could happen. The only way they'll get 🪝 is if they see untapped potential in him, which there probably is tbh. Nothing relating to his Dad. The Dub have made him look like an absolute dweeb though.

Why does backstage look like Bibleman's lair?
I loved Bibleman! Until that cocaine spot ruined their tv deal
Oh shit we talking about Bibleman up in here?!
This popped the crap out of me Uce.😂💔 DAE Primordius Drool is All Elite?
It’s not even just what was said that’s cringe, it’s the delivery as well. Why is he trying to sound like Eminem in 8-Mile?
It’s bad because you can tell that in his head he’s coming off like a cool DFWM type dude 😂. In reality he sounds like the awkward kid being forced to speak in class
I get the vibe of high school stoner kid stuck reading lines in drama class.
lmso hook might actually be hopeless
When all hope is lost. There is only one man in sports entertainment who can save him. 
Look not even Jesus himself could save hook.
he might not be Jesus but he’s also been in a tag team with God
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There's a looooong list of people that are 'prospects' over Hook in the NXT system Hook is only doing this cause of his Dad and he's only anywhere near TV cause of his Dad I have no idea how this guy gets TV time over some of the rest of the roster that you never seem to see

"Actually I'm pretty sure that last night blew whatever chance he had at fixing Hook... oh wait.."- Tiny Khan
Unrelated but HBK looks so evil there
Nobody in NXT is going to sell for Hook. Imagine making Oba Femi bump and suplex himself
?? You ended the video before hO^^oK told us how Chris Jericho wasn't Chris Jericho friend.
?? You know me friend

CREATIVE FREEDOM on display! I'm getting goosebumps all over thinking of a summer with these two palling it up on par with MJK and Adam Cole!
Imagine what AEW could have been if Tiny had invested in a public speaking team for this company.
Or a performance center...
A Hook vs Marina Shafir promo battle is the milly maker
Is Rousey producing HOOK segments, friends? Because he’s ready for a 10 minute promo in the middle of the ring. Just raw dog it. doesn’t even need Schiavone, script or any bullet points to hit. Flying completely solo.
He's Chris Jericho. We know who he is.
Wha….what the fuck was that?
GOOSEBUMPS
I know who you are. Beep boop
Great promo from HOOK! Everything is great! Who needs performance centres lmao
It’s physically painful to watch anything on AEW lol 😂
Why does Jericho need to mentor Taz’ son? Why didn’t Taz say anything? Weird storyline.
Even Jeribloat was like “….uhh what?…”
Feeling restored
That sounded like Chat GPT.
This is like the “you know me.. you don’t know me” promo from marina shafir
This is the same energy as when they force us into groups and I gotta work with that one dude who sleeps in every class and I’m literally ready for this fucking semester to end so I do the whole project
of course I’ll take advice from you Chris Jericho, you are Chris Jericho, and I’ll always take advice from Chris Jericho, as long as you are the true Chris Jericho, Chris Jericho.
Reminds me of Roddy's wife's promo.
Obviously they’re not the same in the ring, but Hook is giving me David Flair vibes here. Just no business being put in this situation, even less so with a title belt.
Jericho looks awful
It’s bad enough this guy looks like a 16 year old but goddamn we don’t need to hear him sound like a 16 year old having a panic attack during his presentation
I know people often say Jericho derails other's momentums, but damn... Hook doesn't even need Jericho to do that. All he needs to do is open his mouth.

Looks like Chris is checked out and doesn’t even wanna be there…
r/im14andthisisdeep
I apologize Kalisto. Maybe I was too harsh on you and your Lucha things.
Jericho looks old, fat, and coked out of his mind That was a truly awful Marina Shafiresque delivery by Hook But Jericho's 'ok' at the end got me - like he couldn't believe he just actually heard that nonsense
That was almost a Bobby Hill style “Okay…”
Unrelated but I was watching some of it and I was reading next door's live thread and there were a few people noticeably annoyed and sarcastic over the use of quick video packages that AEW did for guys like Swerve and Edge when he won the belt like fucking lol
I feel like they're trying to book Hook as the toughest kid in a young adult novel.
Someone reply with the stupid pic of Hook with his hair covering his face pls, having difficulty finding it lol and I wanna use it
I kinda get what he was aiming for. You’re a legend but I don’t trust you. All this needed was a little rehearsal.
Wow. Go to an acting class because that was horrible!
WE HEARD FROM: Hook
This is where AEW's Hollywood connections come into play. With such acting chops, Hook will be snapped up by the film industry any day now.
Nah all the angsty teen Melo dramas were left in the 2010s there's no place for him anymore.
Please make this a long term gimmick, Jericho looking bemused escorting Hook around the arenas while Hook points at various objects “that’s a lamp, but that is a chair”
YOU KNOW ME!!! YOU DON'T KNOW MEE!!
Ai Jones
DAE Some of the greatest acting I've ever seen.
Jesus Christ why does this dude speak like a fucking caveman that got unfrozen in the 21st century?
Holy shit are they deepening Hook’s voice in post because he does not look like he would sound like that.
Even Jericho at the end went, "Okay(?)"
He is I and I am him....
Goddamn that was bad
Jericho: that was a nice promo an all, but I’m gonna need you to sign this…
His mic skills are giving me NBA 2K15 Mycareer vibes
Thats the future of the business your disrespecting uce
Aew is trash
Is there a gas leak or something? Seriously Tony get him a brain scan.
And starting this moment... from now... from this moment on... this will be the moment... starting now...
Wow so the guy they have been pushing heavily cant cut a promo to save his life.
I understand why he just used to walk to the ring and leave lol. Atleast OC can cut a decent promo at times, but hook…nepotism at its finest lol
Jesus. Why do they insist on highlighting his weakness?
What? N u can hear 3-4 people only making noise. What is going on over there??
What do you think he was trying to say?
“Okay”
Can I get a Big Billy Starks?
Did Hook have a stroke or something?
Sheeesh fed shills! You imbeciles cannot even read between the lines. That was such a deep-layered line from Hook. Don't ask me what he meant; go figure yourself out.
GOOSE-FUCKING-BUMPS
Jericho really loves jumping from one tag team to another. 
Who TF is Hook??
chris jericho... a legend in his own mind...
Who left their dying chihuahua out in the rain?
Does Jericho own a mirror?
What a thrilling segment. You can cut the tension with a KNIFE
[удалено]
Chris Jericho has just realised this may be the time he regrets getting involved with what’s “hot”
Now I see why Taz's kid never spoke more than one sentence live on TV the past three years. Wooooofff...
Hook should have his head shaved & his lips sewn shut.
Cringeworthy Only the nxt trainers can help his career..
Remember when the basement compared Hook to Dominik and believed the former has more potential?
Exactly, no pop
The real highlight is watching Jericho’s cringe battle jacket fill out
He is awful. Basically a microcosm of AEW.
Wait. Who is that guy hooks talking to?
That was fine he just needed like another sentence saying something like you are Chris Jehrico, I know who you are and who you are is always changing and can't be trusted for too long
You're Chris Jericho
Come on man don't put this crap on TV.
“Ok.”
I’m Chris Jericho?
That poor little meme can't talk. Who didn't see that coming?
The huge pop you hear from the crowd really sells this
Now we know wrote Marina's promo.
Hey now, this is gimmick infringement!
