"A fan favorite, Hook recently aligned himself with bad guy and current AEW champ Samoa Joe, someone Hook says he has had a long personal relationship with. I mean, Joe and I have a lot of history. We go all the way back. My father and him have a lineage, and Joe's almost like an uncle to me, so my affiliation with him is a no-brainer, Hook said."
"However, despite continuing his father's legacy by being the last person to hold the FTW championship, the same title his dad first held, he has also carved out his own unique space in the industry. When I was a kid, my dad told him to be anything but a pro wrestler, but the business he was a part of is much different than the business today, Hook explained."
"Starring in the 2205 short film Money Talks directed by his longtime friend, Tony Mucci, Hook plays a debt collector. The movie received praise at the Tribeca Festival and ignited a passion for acting in the pro wrestler. AEW star Hook. Photo by Dean Moses Every single thing from pro wrestling parallels something in acting and vice versa. I really feel working on one craft helps build the other."
The 26-year-old AEW grappler has aligned with Samoa Joe and draws on a family lineage connected to ECW legend Taz while aiming to establish an independent identity. He holds the FTW championship and pursues AEW title gold rather than being defined solely as Taz's son. He has expanded into acting, starring in the 2205 short film Money Talks as a debt collector, a film that received praise at the Tribeca Festival and sparked a deeper interest in the craft. He sees strong parallels between pro wrestling and acting and believes each discipline strengthens the other.
