Samoa Joe walking around the ring like hook after putting him through the table had me 😂😂
More so like Taz. Joe was mocking Taz walk
Next, Hangman vs Joe
Now that's how you flee the scene😂😂😂
100%
@@jamespalmer5679 the other part that had me was when Joe said to hook what you got for me what you got for me and hook gave him the middle finger 🖕🏻🤣🤣
The fact that they had Taz, Hook’s own father, calling the match too was special. You can hear the glimpses in Taz’ voice as he goes from professional announce desk person to a concerned and worried father, back to trying to be professional again and call the match. Great work AEW.
People tell this every week how special it is. Jerry Lawler already did it back in the day and even Dusty Rhodes was an announcer when Dustin Rhodes wrestled his matches. It's not that special.
@@facesoffearbrewing1229 Yeah but Taz is actually good at it.
@@redrick8900😂 what taz is not a better anything than either of them

The crowd doing the swerve chant without him having to do anything is crazy
I got chills
@@walewaluka4260TK will find a way to ruin his momentum.
@@georgejackson4426oh shut up. He's not your idol named Vince.
@@sicknerf3d837 he screwed up wardlow's run and had to rebuild hook too. If you're not an EVP TK will find a way to mess up your momentum.
Booker of the year will screw it up
Joe tried to kill him 😂😂😂
I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch down the road. That table move was crazy. That was all head, neck, and upper back.
FACTS dude.
it's a lot different compare to the Uranagi Joe usually uses too, this one is like Joe did a full turn before slamming the opponent down which looks so much more vicious and dangerous
Nope! All head.
If by crazy you mean terribly executed. I’ve been a Joe fan for for 20 years, but that was awful. He needs to protect his opponent better.
Definitely a career ending move
That Uranagi into the table had to have hurt so damn bad
Right?!
FACTS.
his neck/head hit more than anything else
Yeah the crowd response was def accurate
Hopefully all that hair cushioned the blow.
Joe walking around the outside ring after rock bottom to hook on the table is a master class in allowing him to recover from the pain without looking like he stalling
The adrenaline and fire from Hook was perfect. Kid was wrestling like his life depended on it. Fantastic showing.
Taz having to take off his headset since he couldn't remain professional at one point was a great piece of story telling.
Doesn't even feel like storytelling even though it is. A father concerned for his son is as real as it gets. But it added soo much to this match.
@@johnnymorningstar2855agree. That was more of a father instinct that kicked in when Taz saw what happened.
This was Taz best moment as a commentator of his career
@@gregoryosbun4141 Taz is a pro. He knows that table spot isn't as bad as people think it is.
After table crash it looked painful because he could be injured
9:22. “Stand him up. We’re playing his music”.
Excalibur said Hangman gave HOOK his props. Hangman didn’t do it, Joe did. After he got backstage. Tony told the cameraman in his ear piece because Joe asked him to. That’s an endorsement from Joe. Class act by the Champion. HOOK’s gonna be a World Champion someday. It was just not today.
Gonna be on botchamania tho
????
That was dumb. Whose ever Idea that was ruined it by making it look so sloppy 🤦
I thought they were doing the undertaker, Jeff Hardy finish, but instead, Hangman comes out to ruin it.
@@daviddoran7705 Yeah that would've been much better
This match was a foregone conclusion when booked. However, this is how you make the challenger look amazing in defeat and give him a rub. Thanks Joe for doing this for Hook.
Amazing match, Joe has done nothing but bangers this whole AEW run. The punishment Hook took you could feel through your screen too. Ouch. Tough kid.
That's Tazz's Son TOUGH !!
Oh yeah real tough getting his head slammed on to the “commentary” desk
@@user-ee7zd9mg6vtazz is also a fake tough guy
@@thugsbunny1790 how many matches have you had, how many times you've bled REAL blood in wrestling? How many times you've been legit knocked out and came back..TAZ in ECW wasn't fake .
It's also how you make your champion look weak on his first defense.
Hook kicking out at 1 from a muscle buster is crazy lmao
😮
is awful.
@@alexpolanco7885yeah thats what I actually meant haha. Shits unrealistic asf.
Guess you didn’t get the homage Joe, & Hook gave to Taz.
Father calling his son's match. Its a proud moment. Hope taz gets a chance to call the match when hook wins a world title in the future.
That'll never happen
World title? Lmao
That we’ll never happen cuz of his size
@@rickyymf9091 so can you explain why Rey Mysterio won the World HEAVYWEIGHT championship?
Hopefully he won't win a world title. He's no where near good enough.
joe doing the taz walk is hilarious
You know what? I didn't think about that. That's some cold shit!
All 8 of those fans must have loved it 😂
I actually had the opportunity to watch this match live and I have to say that it was outstanding hook did a hell of a job selling as the underdog that wouldn't give up and Samoa Joe was the badass monster that was trying to figure out how to keep this kid down absolutely phenomenal storytelling
I respect Hook for taking those crazy bumps hope to see him again get another title shot in the near future
He paid some dues this night.
FACTS.
Totally unessisary.
No need to put your entire career on the line; over one title match..
There's a trade off, you NEED to take a few big bumps along the way to improve your career - Very few wrestlers have managed to go without ever getting hurt badly and still be big stars, it's what the fans want to see and ultimately what makes you immortal
@@Hotlog69 Tazz knew Joe was the right guy to put Hook through the ringer without killing him.
Man, that Uranage through the table looked vicious.
I know wrestling and how you can make something look brutal.
But that looked BRUTAL.
Yeah that was just gnarly, Joe didn't quite plant hook onto the table enough. That was all head, neck and shoulders on impact, even with a gimmicked table that had to hurt.
He got hurt but he kicked out of the Muscle Buster at 1😂
@@tysontaggart7246 My first thought was maybe Darby taught Hook how to take bumps, but it makes more sense your way...
@@johnnywalker5745 it's called fighting spirit
I think that was retaliation for the guardrail punch that Joe received, it looked stiff
This is true wrestling ! Hook is paying his dues. I am gaining respect for this kid. He has heart . alot of it. respect
You know it's a fake fight right? What heart does that take?
Totally I never liked Hook
But I respect him now wow
@@russellcampbell3500 Neanderthal mindset
You sound like the fucking undertaker looking for his handshake.
@@worthlessmemes3527 yes I agree he does have a Neanderthal mindset.
Hook did very well in his biggest match yet. He still has some stuff to tighten up, but he's on his way. As for Joe, he doesn't miss. He's been on a roll in AEW.
Most impressive indeed love joes smash mouth wrestling style but hook took them hits fought to the end respect
He is gonna be a huge star
He's got to start selling moves like he's hurt.
@@obailon4995Tbh it was a great match if Hook was bigger he would possibly take Samoa Joe to his limits he did but he would of got on Joe a lot.
HONESTLY he needs to gain some muscle NOT FAT he looks too small/skinny he isnt rey mysterio and the likes
Joe needs to hold that world title for a long time
After defeating mjf at worlds end.
I want Joe to have a lengthy reign but they also need to capitalize on Swerve's popularity soon and make him the world champion in the next 6 months.
Yeah even bryan and edge deserves one Reign before finally retiring. @@staticJ7
@@staticJ7I swear if swerve doesn’t get the title… it’s such a tough spot because Joe does deserve to have a nice run but swerve has so much momentum they do need to capitalize on it
Why? There is nothing in his past to suggest that he has any business holding a title for more than a few months.
He about killed that boy on that announce table spot
FACTS😂.
Then somehow kicks out at 1 on Joe's finisher, great way to book the champ looking weak
@@chaosagent9102 You don't know what booking is.
@@ApolloTheLeaderoh yeah real legit dude got smashed on a table then completely stopped selling to flip Joe off hook shouldn’t be kicking out of your new champs finisher let alone doing it twice
Boi hell nawl @@ApolloTheLeader
Awesome match. Joe is a freaking legend. Not just this match made him look as dangerous as always, but he makes Hook look tough as hell.
Hook is paying his dues and evolving. I can see Hook not just being a champion, but being a future legend, far away in the future. I can see him doing that. Step by step. Brick by brick. He is not advancing steps. He is not too lazy. He knows his skills and he is working on them.
And btw, AWESOME commentary. Made me feel the match. Sells the match PERFECTLY. Not just the part Taz getting off for a minute (which was awesome), but all the commentary made the match look legit. Made me care about it.
Dunno if they gonna read this (probably not) or care about it, but Joe, Hook, Taz, Excalibur and Tony, thank you. As a long time pro wrestling fan, I truly enjoyed every single bit of it.
Joe proving Vince effed up. He’s still got a lot of go in the tank.
That uranagi threw the table was brutal 🔥
Was that a dig at Taz with how Joe did that walk around the ring after the table spot? 🤣
He was mocking Hooks nonchalant walk
@@Boygonebadno he was doing the taz walk !!!
Yes!
@@pri0r_t0_a_weekago...fukwi48 when has Taz ever walked like that??? 😂
"Stand him up and play his music." Future Botchamania clip there.
😂😂
Sounds like a crappy CZcams channel.
It's in one of the newer ones lmaooooo
timestamp?
oh geez i just watched the end... Hook easily walks out the ring and off the apron, then the ref reminds him that the script has him and Hangman to close the show lmao
Hook impressed me tonight. Dude has a bright future in wrestling, I would like to see more of him at this level of Main Eventer.
FACTS.
Yeah, if he doesn't wake up paralyzed tomorrow morning from that tornado uranagi into the commentator's broadcast booth. That was flat nasty.
Nah is blackout future. Even Peter Pan easily beat him.
He is good but man did anyone think he would beat joe a man who took on brock lesnar a killer, and what gets me came on first time debuts looking like bill goldberg ,thats what i hated goldberg was a monster and still is , this hook if he works out more what a killer he could bebjt i could be wrong lets see how things go
I want to see Hook vs BCC now
this was one of those career defining matches that AEW has come to be known for with its young talent. Joe made Hook look not only like an absolute beast, but Hook himself showed out in a way that we knew was there in him. the pure underdog storytelling for Hook was brilliant because Joe was someone he's never faced. it was no doubt something of a humbling experience for him as well. he's got it all now and within a few years he'll be someone AEW can put up as a world champion.
from a Reddit/Twitter meme to a legitimate star in the making in the last 3 years. the post match stuff was brilliant as well, Hook just not backing down even after getting hit with another muscle buster. and the Hangman respect too? dude's a star forsure.
There are no legitimate stars on AEW, otherwise they would actually draw an audience outside their base of nerds that tune in religiously.
@@gmac673couldn’t of said it better 💯
@@gmac673there are no legitimate stars in wrestling. At all. In any promotion. “Oh but what about-“ no. None. There are no full-time wrestlers that are household names. It’s not the eighties anymore. Any wrestler who can leave for Hollywood does as soon as possible.
@@TungstenArmI’m sure John Cena is a star that is a household name. So is Brock Lesnar. But I got you. No full time wrestler.
@@gmac673I think they meant a star in AEW terms. Which doesn’t mean much but you need to use a scale when it comes to AEW. An AEW star is Orange Cassidy that’s all you need to know that there’s a scale you need to use lol
Hahahahahahahahaha, credit to Samoa Joe for making that toddler look good.
That table folded like a cheap tent 😂
I love the look on Joe's face right after he wins, like he's simultaneously wondering wtf just happened and contemplating how scary Hook's potential is.
Yeah this was real
Hook made a MAJOR breakthrough in his career tonight. And his only definition is up
@@k9feces
I think the story they were telling is that Joe might be afraid of the pressure of being on top and having everyone gunning for him. Hook, Hanger, Swerve, Wardlow. Heavy is the head the wears the crown.
Or you're just projecting haaaaaaaaard
Luckily for Joe, the appearance of Adam Page shows that this was only a throw away match. It's Joe versus Adam at the next pay-per-view.
Joe literally has the best move set in wrestling history
A lot of it looks goofy and the psychology doesn't really work.
Bret Hart laughing at you right now
@@supercolorful5878 Not like he's any better.
@@redrick8900 you mean samoa joe look goofy? and you're on an AEW page.. he's the least goofy guy in that company, do you know what you're talking about?
The just made Joe’s finisher look like shit
You have this little guy no sell the muscle buster in your world champ's first title defense like he's Hulk Hogan???
It's a muscle buster. It's not like it's some badass move that people don't kick out of.
@@alphanerd7221 It's a finisher.
way to kill the credibility of your world champ's finisher agaimst a skinny small guy.
now wonder they have 1 year without hitting a million cause smarks on internet defending their AWFUL booking.
@@alexpolanco7885 It's not his finisher. Also, people kick out of finishers. It's the entire point of finishers. You don't know what booking is. Kicking out of moves has nothing to do with booking. You don't understand wrestling.
@@alphanerd7221 Why do you think the Burning Hammer is so legendary? Because nobody kicked out of it...Kobashi only brought it out a handful of times, and only during the biggest matches. Once he hit it, it was game over. To have someone kickout of a finisher at 1 is nuts, especially after them selling like death before it.
@@eastxsidexswagg It's not legendary. It's dumb. Kick outs at one are substantially no different than kick outs at 2.
Joe taking on the lightweight division 😂😂😂
This match is what everyone expected just a hard hitting battle between two great wrestlers Joe and HOOK. Gotta love the never quit fight showed by HOOK. This is just the first of many good titles defenses by Samoa Joe
Choosing between this match and Rollins VS Jinder, which was overbooked, Hook VS Joe was a better match.
Bruh the match is 🔥 Hook better get a chance later on
FACTS.
@@ShenronNoKamehameha
"Better match" what a load of nonsense, Hook looks like a school boy who has no business going toe to toe with the Samoa Joe not to forget the sh*ty spot like kicking out of the muscle buster finisher at 1 to get a cheap reaction out of the crowd. That brain-dead spot alone makes this match terrible. Typical Marky booking by Tony.
Rollins vs Jinder match was exactly what it should have been, between the babyfaces world champ vs cowardly heel Jinder.
@@elamcyril Agree, he even no sold the move after the match, he just stood right back up like bro thinks he's goldberg
Samoa Joe was awesome as always...
Hook is AEW's generational talent
Unless Hook puts on a ton of mass, he'll just be a scrawny guy playing Goldberg.
I realized that about hook like 3 years ago
@@petebreadwards8737lol Hook can go FAR more than Goldberg ever could.
@connorledwith98 Goldberg is recognized around the world. Hook is a kid. Not even close.
@@connorledwith98 Goldberg, as much as I despise him, is a multiple time world champion and carried WCW for a pretty long stretch
I can't help but notice how 4 people cheered for Hangnail. Lol, the crowd started cheering for Swerve while Hangman's music was playing. 😅😅 hilarious
Cause Swerve is over like a MF. He needs to hurt AEW's biggest babyface or start insulting the crowd to get the boos. Or just go with it lol
Page is a joke.
@@robbase5235 He always has my respect for eating punk's lunch.
@alphanerd7221 Now Punk is on the position to headline WrestleManis while Page is still an untalented play wrestler lost in the midcard.
Big victory for page
@@robbase5235 Punk will never headline WrestleMania. He's old and a bad worker and everybody in the industry can't stand him. Even if he did that wouldn't make him suck less. It would just make WrestleMania suck more. It hasn't been a good PPV since it went to 2 days anyway. It's like one of those festival concerts with two decent bands but it goes on for 12 hours.
Keep calling decent wrestlers "untalented" why you worship a guy who's never been good at anything in his life other than whining.
“Stand him up we’re gonna hit his music”.
“Alright”.
Hook, a flyweight kickboxer, giving Samoa Joe, a thick boi heavyweight, a t-bone suplex. Great match!
It is just me or are we "back"? Like, to me, this feels so fresh, like when AEW first debuted, a breath of fresh air for the product
I agree, this was pound for pound the best episode of Dynamite in months.
Stopped watching about 2 years ago might start tuning in again, absolute war in the ring looked good
Calm down, it was just this segment. The rest of the show was the same old bleh!
Haha get real it’s one match fool
That’s what they wanted with Joe and that’s what Joe wanted to do is help get aew back on track
Joe is one of the best in the world and Hook is outstanding in his role, this is my favourite Hook match outside of his debut one. Just incredible work. Hook feels like someone who AEW should build up more this year. If I were AEW I’d give him the TNT title next.
Joe is a masterclass in this business and him as World Champion is a brilliant thing to see. Hook’s selling by the way was brilliant. Made Joe look even more dangerous. Just a perfect match
If Hook is completely injury free after that Uranage on the edge of the table, I would be SHOCKED!! I thought for a second Joe made honest fans of the crowd chanting "Joe is gonna kill you!"
Honestly before hangman came out. It felt ALOT like jeff hardy vs undertaker the first time. When taker ended up raising his hand in respect
Honestly would be great if hangman stopped injecting himself into this.
YESSSSS great analogy 👍
YES was saying the same thing...we didn't need the Hangman spot, it was so dope seeing Hook saying "I want some more" by himself
It was like that, if instead of raising his hand taker just kept beating him. Which makes sense, they want Joe to be a heel so I like the way they had Hangman and Swerve show up to send Joe away.
It was a smart way to protect him, have him get up and ask for more, then have Joe get sent off before he attacks again to leave the question open of how much more punishment could hook take. They could very easily use that for a rematch down the line, I won't be surprised if we see Hook vs Joe round 2. Both guys came out of this match looking super strong, especially HOOK.
Exactly what I remembered while watching this. Hook is a solidified fan favorite baby face that has now really shown his potential and toughness.
Kid made a fan of me in this one.
That was a GREAT EFFORT from HOOK!!!
SO PROUD OF THE KID!!!
It's not real you mark
@@KingSilly Why don't you get in the ring with those guys and let's see how tough you are you mark.

This is Ricky Morton stuff.
@@EmoEmuWhere's the selling? Bro's selling was the issue
The raw physicality of this is why I'm glad we have choice in professional wrestling now
Hell of a main event this was. Great performance by Hook too during the match. He gave it all he had tonight against Samoa Joe. But in the end, Joe hindered him, stands tall and remains champion. That kickout at 1 from Hook off the Muscle Buster by Joe was unexpected.
should have nobody kick out the musclebuster, it makes joe look bad, it's as bad as ultimate warrior kicked out psycho sid's powerbomb during wrestlemania....
FACTS.
Joe "hinders" him 😂😂😂
you added hinder on purpose did you lol?🤣🤣🤣
@@ebonyroundassI went to the comments just to see if I was the only one who thought that. That’s the world champion why would he just kick out on one like that smh.
7:45 - 8:05 - the sudden introduction of Swerve, causing both Joe and Page to break their stare down and turn to him, all with Page's music playing is incredible. Gave me vibes from the ending of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Page's theme song is so cinematic in nature, it's the ultimate "showdown" theme for wrestling right now. Really excited for the triple threat between these three, and can't wait to see how Swerve's character and story continue to unfold.
Edit: Also, Nana staring a hole through Joe like he's done being a dancing clown is just perfect!
Kicking out of the muscle buster at 1 has burried the champ for a cheap reaction from the audience.
They need to do more storytelling like this man. This was good
Im actually impressed with this segment. Hooks selling, Joe's reactions. Hope they can keep it up.
@@IceyDio I was impressed too. I don't keep up with the company much but hook seems like a cool character
Plus Joe is definitely championship material
It's amazing that Hook can stand after that Urunagi on the table! Or the beat down from the blows! He was impressive when going against Samoa Joe!
Notice how hook got back in the ring in the end 😂😂😂
Excellent main event. I was laughing hysterically when Hook yelled, “That’s all you got!” Joe was more than willing to give the young man some more. It’s matches like this that make AEW special. And much respect to whoever came up with the idea for Hook’s Bat-Signal.
Hook got hindered by Samoa Joe.

😂 you’re comment did good, it was funny
This match was fantasic, totally exceeded my expectations. HOOK looked great. On one hand, he definitely still has a way to go fleshing out his arsenal in the ring, on the other hand, he just put on a banger main event with Samoa Joe for the world title only 31 matches into his career. HOOK has a very, very bright future ahead of him.

The rock bottom on the table was crazy lol
Hook is going to be a star
Probably
Man this ruled. Samoa Joe is a killing machine and this match was perfect for what it was. Hook put up an unbelievable fight and loses nothing in a loss. Hook proved he’s tough as nails.
And exactly what makes Hook so tough. He is nothing more than a poster boy for nepotism - the next Erik Watts
Neither guy gained a thing from this match, as good as it was.
Hook, a guy they booked as a world beater up until this point, is suddenly supposed to be some tough-as-nails underdog who gets the crap kicked out of him and just gets back up?
And the fact that he basically no-sold Joe’s offense during the final sequence, what did that do for Joe, and what’s that mean for Hangman Page and Swerve? If Hook took 2 muscle busters, an urange on the table, a powerbomb on the apron, a DVD, passed out in the Koquina Clutch AND WALKED OUT UNDER HIS OWN POWER, you can’t have Hangman or Swerve come out without eating that and doing the same thing, lest the logic is that Hook is tougher than either of them or Joe is just weak.

Great match! But that slam through the announce table was brutal! Hook definitely earned my respect as a main eventer.
That uranagi on the announce table and powerbomb on the ring apron was brutal, and hook still walks away on his own
Dynamite has been the best pro wrestling show on a weekly basis
Most disagree. Ratings are on a steady decline to the point they might lose their TV deal.
I believe Hook was humbled tonight. This encounter will only make him wiser for the next opportunity.
This is awesome on so many levels. Tazz announced his son's match was beautiful, and Hook is going to be great in years to come, and Joe is going to be an awesome champion great work
Also worth mentioning that Tazz and Joe have a lot of history themselves. Hook was in trusted hands.

Great to see soma Joe kicking ass on top again. Great match
Adam page and the crowd goes MILD 😂
What happened with him? He was like the hottest babyface in the company a few years ago.
@@zzehaloka3780 I think unfortunately with everything that happened between Punk and the elite it left a sour taste in the crowd towards them that it’s been difficult to come back from, I think Hangman’s feud with Swerve is gonna help him gain the fans again
WM 13 stone cold Steve Austin moment for hook
Lmao and that’s why we can’t take wrestling fans seriously
@@ITSHIM1294 aew fans mostly.
“Stand him up, we’ll hit his music”
Nice
Hangman came out and the crowd died. Sheesh.
Dayummmm that slam on the desk was crazy
3:20 Joe didn't feel that low blow from hook
Taz should have been going NO MY SON NO MY BOY 😂
Dude in the crowd at 8mins 57 seconds 😂😂
Not selling the muscle buster kicking out at 1 is so disrespectful
Hook may have just proven that he's not all hype this match alone just proved to everyone that Hook is exactly what they've been saying he is for the last couple yrs this dude just elevated his own career before our own eyes with this performance most certainly a future world champ
You will see Hell freeze over before you see Hook a world champion in a credible promotion.
If only we hadn't seen him with comedy jobbers in the back with a Hoodia on eating chips......
@@kriswallace7810 because wrestlers have never succumbed to comedy spots…I mean, Reigns never recovered from “suffering succatash” right?
@@theoratorovdoomlet’s not compare Hook to the Tribal Chief
@@will793 The Tribal Chief sucked for most of his career so…I will.
Samoa Joe, a safe worker as always, look at how his hand and arm protect Hook's head and body in that announce table spot.
Hook looks like that tiny anime character taking on the oversized enormous boss
Give hook his props bro I was really impressed
