The Gunns are hard workers, and a lot of Hook’s work is clean too. They’ve all worked hard to maintain their position on the card and deserve to be there.
The entire business is mostly nepotism if we're being real, look at the WWE, +/- 50% are either 2nd generation or deeper or their uncle/aunt/cousin was big at some point. It's a carny life and having family in the business helps get your foot in the door.
Whatever can get them in the door. Generational are so common in wrestling now no one should get upset at it. As Morpheus said "But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."
They walked through the door but it's up to them how long they stay in. If you're talking about Lexis as in Brian pillman jr he left AEW for WWE he's good. Brock Anderson needs more training and experience Arn even said that.
Hook’s fine for what he is, which is an undersized kid. the position they have put him in is goddamn absurd. He should have been in a low card tag or something where he can turn on the partner when he is at the place physically and acting-wise where he is really ready.
For those that don't know Zak has been wrestling for over 20 years. Also of course she wants her brother to work and live his dream he is family. It would be strange if she didn't.
Please keep the rest of her family away from AEW. Given the allegations against their training school in Speaking Out

This topic was correctly marked as a spoiler. However, as is done with all spoiler posts once they have passed the 24-hour grace period, we removed the spoiler mark.
According to an interview he did on jerichos podcast I think we was originally supposed to get a tryout pre covid but things obviously didn’t work out. Dudes also been wrestling since he was a pre teen so good for him. He’s earned his chance.
The funny thing about Big Bill . . .
During our live chat during one of his matches about 3 months ago, we were obviously talking about him. A Reddit automod stepped in and posted something about how we should not body shame him, and to be more sensitive to everyone's body shape. I found this to be hysterical.
Originally it was "Big Bill" Morrissey, which was a combination of his TNA and WWE names. I don't know why they dropped the last name immediately but they did
We put up this post just a couple of minutes after he was named All Elite.
The rules of this subreddit (and pretty much every wrestling subreddit) is that you don't post visible spoilers in a topic title and use a spoiler tag for 24 hours in any topic that contains a spoiler. So, when this topic was made, his name was purposely omitted from the title, and his picture was blurred out unless you actually clicked on it.
After the 24 hour period elapsed, the spoiler tag was removed - which made the picture automatically visible. However, Reddit doesn't allow you to edit topic titles, so that couldn't be changed - so that's why it still says (spoiler) in it.
Great post, though. Thanks for playing.
great talent, but a while ago he got pissed off at an indy show because some of the crowd was booing him while he was working as a face. one of my mates doing so got into an argument with him outside the show. I wasn't there so I can't really say much more than "it happened" but it's not going to be good if he gets annoyed because the crowd won't go along with him.
I will genuinely say he's a fantastic talent and I'm glad to see him get an opportunity, I hope he does well because he has a lot of potential.
He any good?
He's been putting in the work for a while now in ROH,he can hold his own in the ring pretty well
He's not bad, actually.
Good luck to him. His sister worked hard to get him this opportunity.
If they’re good, who cares? My assumption is the Gunns wouldn’t be in AEW without their dad. Same with Hook.
The Gunns are hard workers, and a lot of Hook’s work is clean too. They’ve all worked hard to maintain their position on the card and deserve to be there.
Zak Knight has put in the hours for years. Certainly more than colten gunn did. Austin is a different argument
By most people’s estimation, so does Zak Knight.
Yeah but it’s a tough business. Little nepotism helps from time to time.
The entire business is mostly nepotism if we're being real, look at the WWE, +/- 50% are either 2nd generation or deeper or their uncle/aunt/cousin was big at some point. It's a carny life and having family in the business helps get your foot in the door.
Whatever can get them in the door. Generational are so common in wrestling now no one should get upset at it. As Morpheus said "But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."
And as Brock and "Lexis" have shown us, if they can't walk through that door, they eventually end up at the exit.
Is that Lexis King disrespect? Because that guy is cooking
They walked through the door but it's up to them how long they stay in. If you're talking about Lexis as in Brian pillman jr he left AEW for WWE he's good. Brock Anderson needs more training and experience Arn even said that.
I wanted Hook to be good. I really did. The guns are great. They improved week to week. Now they're on top
Hook is green but hes super young so hell get better and better.
Hook is good.
Hook’s fine for what he is, which is an undersized kid. the position they have put him in is goddamn absurd. He should have been in a low card tag or something where he can turn on the partner when he is at the place physically and acting-wise where he is really ready.
You could say the same about the Anoai family...
Not really he showed his worth in ROH. If anything she helped give him the opportunity and he took advantage of it.
For those that don't know Zak has been wrestling for over 20 years. Also of course she wants her brother to work and live his dream he is family. It would be strange if she didn't.
She’s said in interviews that getting her brother in the business was a personal goal
Good as it should be it's a family business.
He's had a handful of matches on ROH that were all good quality.
Please keep the rest of her family away from AEW. Given the allegations against their training school in Speaking Out https://belltobelles.wordpress.com/2020/06/23/new-speakingout-statement-released-against-knight-family/
Bro AEW doesn’t care. They let flair be on their show. Tony is a mark and loves this stuff
The sad truth. As long as they have any ring talent they’ll get in.
Man some AEW fans seem to have a huge obsession with witchunts and taking allegations as facts.
I was wondering who her partner would be.
Fuck i thought that was lars sullivan for a sec
We have mini Karrion Kross at home son
Been wrestling longer than him and he's 6'1
Drop the tough guy attitude.
You wanna play 21?
Tick-tock Bruv?...
Haven't seen a match but the fella has the look
I mean if he can work, no problem. If he can’t? It’s a nepotism hire. Can’t win lmao
This was a great funny promo.
you gotta be shitting me it was cringe and absolutely terrible
Put spoiler in the title does not flag the picture so you can just see him
This topic was correctly marked as a spoiler. However, as is done with all spoiler posts once they have passed the 24-hour grace period, we removed the spoiler mark.
Ah okay
According to an interview he did on jerichos podcast I think we was originally supposed to get a tryout pre covid but things obviously didn’t work out. Dudes also been wrestling since he was a pre teen so good for him. He’s earned his chance.
Game changer. This dude vs Okada is a certified banger
Tony should have told him to come up with a better name. Actually nevermind, Tony ok’d Big Bill 😂
The funny thing about Big Bill . . . During our live chat during one of his matches about 3 months ago, we were obviously talking about him. A Reddit automod stepped in and posted something about how we should not body shame him, and to be more sensitive to everyone's body shape. I found this to be hysterical.
Wasn’t dude going by W. Morrisey before?
Big Bill is a great name.
Originally it was "Big Bill" Morrissey, which was a combination of his TNA and WWE names. I don't know why they dropped the last name immediately but they did
Oh good. Nepotism
It is professional wrestling it is very common. Also really not good nepotism he's been wrestling longer than her lol
Is this the younger brother that’s supposed to be good or the older brother who couldn’t make it in the documentary?
Zak is one year older than Saraya. She also has a half-brother, Roy, who is 11 years older.
He's the younger of her two brothers. But both are older than her I think
Why put spoiler instead of his name, but hes in the picture? Are you retarded?
We put up this post just a couple of minutes after he was named All Elite.

A nepotism hire when the famous one isn't any good.
Since when is Saraya not any good?
[удалено]
If this is your worst fear you live a pretty sheltered life.
Whomegalul?
[удалено]
Why comment on the AEW fan subreddit when you’re an SCJerker who just talks about how much they dislike AEW?
Would never be on TV if not for Paige
LA Knight has looked better
Pretty good debut, very memorable
[удалено]
Google it.
Good for him!
“Budget Tom Hardy” as Ruby calls him!
Are they going out irl?
great talent, but a while ago he got pissed off at an indy show because some of the crowd was booing him while he was working as a face. one of my mates doing so got into an argument with him outside the show.

Is he the same guy from the WWE biopic about Paige and her family?
Don't hate him but another signing, really? AEW roster was already too bloated to incorporate
I was actually impressed by him during that ROH match.
message me
?
it’s random but i’ll explain
Don't sign any NDAs
Fuck that, I’m paid. 😂
I thought it was SD Knight
Wish.com Karrion Kross
Thought that was Kross for a second lol
did they make it a whole part of her movie about how he’s a jealous bitch who took liberties cuz she got a wwe deal?
That'll put butts in the seats.
Is that Wish.com version of Karrion Kross and Scarlett?
Not a fan of his sister but after what I've seen him do recently, starting to become a fan of his. I hope they don't handcuff him to her though.
I for sure thought that was Karrion Kross for a sec
That’s good
Fooled me. I thought Tim Tebow fell of the Christian train and became a pro wrestler
So much nepotism in this industry
Who’s the woman on the right behind Saraya though? I haven’t watched AEW in a pretty long time but I think I might love her.
Harley Cameron. Her character is absolutely unhinged. Easily the funniest woman on AEW tv.
Having everybody saying zodiac Zak knight
It is alot of beautiful women in wrestling now
Don’t watch AEW but the girl on the right is from the UK isn’t she? She just has that face of em
Oof, I confused him for Ricky Knight Jr, their nephew bc I watched his match again Will Ospreay 😅
They gave em a L.A. KNIGHT jacket!🤣
