Did Action Bronson & HOOK Use Home Field Advantage to Score a W? | AEW Rampage: Grand Slam, 9/23/22

[@deathbykonami5487]

Hearing Taz go full on proud father whenever he watches his boy's matches is heartwarming.

[@shockingshanegibson]

The fact I’ve lived long enough 42 year 5 heart attacks gentic and have seen Taz and his son be champs warms my broken heart

[@chrisford7909]

And he really does try to act like a announcer when hooks wrestling and not as dad/coach! I'm been really impressed by how he's handled it . Can't wait for hook to get a after match beatdown and papa Taz comes down and snaps.( No bumps for him just choking out some fools..)

I agree, what he did was very believable, from the Intensity, to the shoulder tackles, to the slam, to getting gassed out quickly as a first timer which could be attributed to his size, how hard he went, and even an adrenaline dump.

One of the big unknowns for me concerning hook up to this point, is he’s given excellent offense but he hasn’t taken many hits or bumps in the ring yet. I’ve been wanting to see him take some offense for a while to see how he is at selling, and he tools some pretty good hits this match and sold the, well. Kid is starting to look like the whole package and he’s gonna be a lot of fun to watch moving forward.

[@chrisford7909]

I'm ready for him to stop being unstoppable. I really like him and his in ring is fantastic, but it's just hard to believe such a young guy being untouchable now that he's facing more named and known guys.
