#4 AEW shouldn't put Hook in long matches
AEW played it smart by keeping Hook's debut match at only 5 minutes approximately. This allowed the young rookie enough time to showcase his impressive moveset while still keeping the match short enough not to overexpose him.
Fuego Del Sol also did a great job selling for Hook and made his strikes and grappling look good. Wrestling legends including Dutch Mantell showered praise on the young AEW star, saying he has all the tools to be a top wrestler in the promotion. In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, he said:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"He's good. The guy has it all. He has the mystique, he has the mystery about him and you look at him and he just jumps at you. He's a star."
Bill Apter, who was also a guest on SmackTalk, also gushed about Hook's in-ring debut last night:
"He made an awesome debut tonight and he was terrific."
It might be good to temper expectations on Hook as he hasn't had a chance to prove himself in longer matches against different opponents. But the best way for AEW to hide his weaknesses and highlight his strengths is to keep Hook's matches short and straightforward. Let him have a couple of squash matches right out of the gate or involve him tag matches with his Team Taz teammates so that he only features in short bursts.
