Jericho/Hook

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

What are Chris Jerichos intentions with young Hook? Feud? Alliance? I need to know asking for a friend.

[Some Guy]

When can we get that several year tour again

[Soultastic]

Hook has gotten so much better so fast simply by being constantly booked in competitive matches rather than squashing some dude every 3 months.

Just keep booking him with or against any and all experienced wreslters, I don't care who at this point.

Jericho with HOOK is fine. People forget Jericho helped Garcia find a character and get over to what he is now, I think he can be fine for someone like HOOK in a short lived team and even a potential little feud

Sure feels like they're gonna be in the tag tournament.

[The Ichi]

If they're called JericHook I quit AEW forever.

[LiamMcDuggle]

Jericho needs to be off AEW TV for a bit. This is the longest he's been regularly on TV since his first WWE run in 2000.

People can't miss you if you're always around them

Not everything Jericho has done has been a failure.

Well I sure hope this isn't a case of Albatross is Jericho.

But if this pays off and it gives HOOK something he can sink his teeth into, then good, but let's not pretend Jericho's list of 'meh' isn't a lot longer than his list of 'yeah!'

Daniel Garcia was the exception. Not the rule.

He got Hager over with a Hat more than I think he ever was in his whole career, also Daddy Magic and Angelo Parker are what they are gimmick wise because of him, even Anna got some more character flourishing from it all.

Like JAS as a whole was something people ran out of steam on but the sum of the parts, all over the company, are much more interesting and livelier characters due to existing. If he can do something like that with HOOK, it'll be fine.

Hager got himself over, as did Garcia, who's been the most over he's been right now when he got away from the JAS. Same as Daddy Magic and Parker who are actually doing things on TV now. The association hasn't helped anyone except possibly Sammy.

Anna Jay took 10 steps back when she joined JAS.

Jericho helped these guys with those characters, he helped them get over by helping him find those characters and then they didn't need to be in the group anymore

Sorry but I think to insinuate Jericho had nothing to do with helping these guys find characters that work, when the guy made a whole career off of character reinvention that worked, seems very dismissive of Jericho because JAS as I said ran out of steam

They didn't get over despite Jericho, they got better ways to connect to the audience because when JAS was around, and when they ended, they found characters that worked

And while JAS wasn't fondly liked here, I don't remember them being panned by live crowds very much

Even Anna found better promo cadence while within JAS, wish her booking was better yes but I do think Jericho helped her there too.

I’m not as down on this as some, mainly because it ensures HOOK consistent TV time which is something he hasn’t always had.

I suspect this is a short lived team through to Dynasty. The FTW title got a proper motion graphic on Wednesday and commentary were pushing the history and HOOK’s reigns. So I suspect this is Jericho really going after that because he’s an ex-ECW guy.

The other reason I’m not so down on this is because at least so far with Jericho mentioning Taz, they might actually involve him in this feud- probably to assist HOOK in any in-ring mic segments. They’ve held off on him getting pulled into a HOOK feud and it really could add something.

Long as it’s not long and ends with HOOK going over, it’ll be fine. HOOK needs to be rebuilt strongly for the eventual Joe rematch.

This is how I hope it plays out. It'll have more chances of working if the story arc is less about Jericho, and more about HOOK.

I actually don't mind Jericho. He still can have a decent match if the confitions right and gets crowd reaction, and as long as he's not taking up too much tv time then I'm cool with him.

I feel like he got done a bit dirty by the Hausman stuff too.

This, and I feel like reactions to him are still being swayed by the fact this happened in general, and like, I get being leery of it all, but Hausman was blowing smoke, and it's gotten to the point he's not even being allowed in WWE pressers anymore, dude's a tool.

[Bo Rida]

Jericho is similar to Danielson where he's keen to do things that he has never done before while he still can.

So I think it's leading to him losing a hair vs hair match.

[markymark]

The original plan was for Jericho and Sammy to tag(and enter the tag tournament) but Sammy got suspended so Hook is replacing him.

HOOK is green in several aspects(Cage carried him on Dynamite), Jericho could help him with that.

[cookiedoh85]

I’m pretty much expecting that 04/20 edition of Collision that RVD is booked for will be against Jericho if there’s a HOOK/Jericho match at Dynasty. Let Jericho get a win against a HOOK ally on the way. Hell, have Sammy put over HOOK in similar fashion along the way if he’s in the dog house now.

[Instant Classic]

I’m down for it but please don’t drag it on more than a month.
