10 Most Exciting Second Generation Talents In Wrestling Today
2. Hook
The son of the 'Human Suplex Machine' Taz has become a fan favorite during his short time in wrestling and he continues to improve in front of a worldwide audience. Hook has been heavily protected throughout his AEW run as his matches are clearly designed to hide his current flaws and accentuate his many abilities.
The 'Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil' has developed into a serious prospect after first gaining fans' attention through his association with Team Taz. The 'Send Hook' memes came off the back of the audience's desire to see the prodigy wrestle, which was realized in a terrific debut outing against Fuego Del Sol in late-2021. Since then, he has continued his quick development in showings against Aaron Solo, JD Drake, and QT Marshall.
Hook defeating former stablemate Ricky Starks for the FTW Championship is another deft touch from AEW in ensuring that he continues to improve on his own time. Holding the title allows him to almost operate in his own orbit as he faces challengers whilst improving all the time. His recent matches against 2point0 have perhaps been Hook's most promising to date, as he has not only held his own but had to lead a team involving rapper Action Bronson, which he did very effectively.
