* {{Determinator}}: When he faced off against Wrestling/SamoaJoe, Hook refused to stay down no matter how badly he was beaten, even when a medical examiner advised against it. Even after Joe finally defeats Hook by choking him out, when Hook comes back into consciousness, he ''immediately'' goads Joe into continuing the fight.

He is the son of Wrestling/{{Taz|z}}, and a former lacrosse player in high school and college. Training at both the Create-A-Pro and Nightmare Factory wrestling schools, he first appeared in AEW as a background extra, before being properly introduced as Team Taz's principal trainee, often being seen accompanying them to the ring and during promos. He finally made his debut on the December 8, 2021 episode of ''AEW Rampage'', where he made short work of Fuego Del Sol and rapidly established himself as one of AEW's biggest young talents.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: He got along very well with "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry until ''Forbidden Door 2023'', where Perry took his frustrations over being unable to win a title belt out on Hook by knocking him out with his own title belt. This led Hook to repeatedly chase down and attack Perry afterwards.

'''Hook''' (real name Tyler Senerchia, born May 4, 1999) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling.

He is the son of [[Wrestling/{{Tazz}} Taz]], and a former lacrosse player in high school and college. Training at both the Create-A-Pro and Nightmare Factory wrestling schools, he first appeared in AEW as a background extra, before being properly introduced as Team Taz's principal trainee, often being seen accompanying them to the ring and during promos. He finally made his debut on the December 8, 2021 episode of ''AEW Rampage'', where he made short work of Fuego Del Sol and rapidly established himself as one of AEW's biggest young talents.

* BadassBack: Always has his back to his opponent at the start of the match, both as a sign of confidence and disrespect towards his target.
* CuteBruiser: At a glance he's an unassuming PrettyBoy, but in the ring he turns out to be arguably the most hard-hitting of AEW's young talents.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: After over a year of largely staying in the background of Team Taz moments, his AEW debut saw him make quick work of Fuego Del Sol with a no-nonsense grappling and submission style that he clearly takes from his father.
* FinishingMove: "Redrum" (a Kata Ha Jime, identical to his father's iconic Tazmission). As first demonstrated against Serpentico, he is also able to perform a standing variation of this move.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Hook's entire M.O. is to get in, beat his opponent, and get out as efficiently as possible.
* OralFixation: Always seen chewing gum, which gives him an aloof demeanor.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: He looks ''nothing'' like his father, to the point where many viewers didn't realise he is legitimately Taz's biological son at first.
* TheQuietOne: He isn't much of a talker or showboater.
* RealSongThemeTune: He comes out to "The Chairman's Intent" by Action Bronson.
* RedBaron: "The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil"
* TheStoic: In addition to being a man of few words, Hook barely emotes whether in the ring or behind the scenes.
