#2. AEW Star Taz – Hook

AEW Star Taz is a household name in the wrestling industry. He kicked off his career in the late 1980s and joined ECW in the early 1990s. Taz became one of the biggest stars of ECW, winning many championships.

Following his successful ECW run, Taz joined WWE. He made his WWE debut in 2000 and spent nearly nine years in the company, winning a few championships. The 53-year-old also served as a color commentator for several years in WWE before his departure in 2009.

Taz, who retired from in-ring competition in 2006, then joined TNA. He spent nearly six years in the promotion, playing several non-wrestling roles, before leaving in 2015. Four years later, the 53-year-old joined AEW.

In addition to his role as a color commentator in AEW, Taz is the manager and leader of a stable called Team Taz. The group includes Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Taz's son, Hook.

Hook is Team Taz's trainee. The 22-year-old has made several appearances on AEW television. He is currently training to become a wrestler.

Surprisingly, Taz's son has a fanbase despite not competing in any matches so far. His Team Taz partner Ricky Stark commented on Hook's popularity during an interview with the WrestleTalk Podcast.

"I think it’s pretty cool for the fact that Hook hasn’t really said much of anything and he hasn’t wrestled at all. It’s such a crazy thing to think about because he hasn’t done anything, and yet he has this groundswell for him. But that only helps to add the mystique of Hook. What is he about? How does he sound? How does he wrestle? I like his mysterious, cool, James Dean type feel he has going on," he said.

Taz's son was in Powerhouse Hobbs' corner when he squared off against CM Punk on Rampage. Hobbs lost the match. Hook later had a stare-down with Punk. It sparked speculation that the 22-year-old could soon make his in-ring debut against the returning legend.
