Former WWE Intercontinental Champion praises Hook's AEW debut

On last week's AEW Rampage, Hook made his in-ring debut beating Fuego Del Sol in singles action. Both fans and critics praised Hook following the match, and his merch went to #1 on Pro Wrestling Tees, displacing CM Punk from the top spot for the first time in four months.

Lance Storm and Bryan Alvarez recently discussed Hook's in-ing debut. Speaking on the latest edition of Figure Four Daily, Storm praised how AEW booked Hook on his debut and felt that the 22-year old has a ton of potential:

"I thought it was a very good debut. I thought he looked great. I thought they were smart with the way they did it. He had a presence. I think he has a ton of potential as a young guy with a look, with a bit of attitude. I think he did great."

"It was a three minute squash where he didn't really sell at all. In my opinion, the jury's still out on how good he is, but I thought it was a great debut. I thought they did a hell of a job and I'd certainly be protecting him if I were in charge, trying to get the most out of him because...getting young people on TV who young people can relate to, and he seems to have a look and a presence that younger people like."
