His knees have been shot a long time. This has been a long time coming.

Why have Hook make out that He was attacked then. Doesn't make sense.

It's called "an angle to write someone off television". They do them ALL the time, lol.

To make it a storyline? Same reason they write off wrestlers who need surgery or time off.

I know that. It's just a tad weird the way the angle was done. Taz is commentator, Hook's his son.

 

[Dubb]

Yes, and they are probably going to use it to build a feud for Hook based on whoever "took him out." Not sure what is so weird about this.

 

[RDT]

Maybe this is TKs version of who ran over Stone Cold.

Hope surgery goes well for Taz

I know Taz is a commentator, but he also got involved in the Jericho feud. Just saying there's been "off camera" angles that have happened all the time.

 

[Dubb]

I'll even throw a possible scenario out there.
Samoa Joe attacked Tazz. Before he himself was written off, Samoa Joe was mentoring Hook. He could say daddy being around was making him weak.

See - boom, this is why they'd run an angle to write off an announcer that just happens to be the father of a worker. Like if Tony Schiavone needed to be away for a bit, they probably just say "hey, Tony won't be here for a while due to surgery or whatever" - but when you can use it to develop one of your characters, why not? This is almost as pointless a discussion as the FTW title one.

 

[Deadd2009]

Yeah but didnt they just turn Joe face when he was with Hook? That would be horrible.

Rikishi prob got all the time in world now that he doesnt have to bitch about jey not being pushed

Well 1 - it was just an example of using this as a storyline .Joe was just the first person who came to my mind. 2, I wouldn't say Joe has ever been clearly defined as heel or face in AEW. And 3, AEW has never worried too much about how soon someone is face or heel. Its more about what the story determines. Swerve was literally face for one feud, heel for the Bryan Danielson feud, then face again for Hangman feud.
