5. HOOK
Far less of a stretch to throw into the equation would be the Cold Hearted Handsome Devil himself – HOOK.
Now, HOOK did taste a clean loss to Joe in his first title defence, but he put up a truly valiant effort and one that The Samoan Submission Machine undoubtedly can respect.
So, why not throw HOOK into the mix? Joe can make him run a gauntlet to prove his worth and he can earn his place. He’d likely take the fall at Revolution – as would most on this list, but that’s not a bad thing.
HOOK still has a lot of upside and it’s been nice to see him mixing it up with the top guy in the company at present, something that will do him far more good – win or loss than FTW Title squats matches or eating chips alongside Danhausen ever could.
