Taz would be fine if his son HOOK chose to part ways with AEW in favor of joining WWE, according to WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff.
It was reported earlier this month that the FTW Champion is interested in exploring his free agency once his contract with AEW expires later this year.
A source familiar with WWE’s recruitment strategy told Sescoops “I can see WWE clearly being interested in him.”
On a recent edition of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Bischoff was asked if HOOK joining WWE would be an awkward situation for Taz, who is also with AEW. He said,
“Will Tony have an issue with it? Your guess is as good as mine. Taz won’t. I don’t know HOOK. I don’t know him as a person, so I can’t honestly have an opinion. I wouldn’t think so.
“Fortunately, HOOK’s got a father who understands the business and has been through it in every way, shape, or form. He understands the business and knows how to make the right decisions, so I suspect HOOK, by virtue of proximity, has some of those same feelings and perspectives that I for one hope, because I’m friends with Taz.
“I like Taz and I hope as a father, that HOOK gets the f**k out of there as fast as he can. If he’s got an opportunity at NXT, or in WWE in any way, shape, or form, take it.”
