4:00 PM ET. Ricky Starks on what Hook is like backstage: "The same guy, there's no difference I remember when he first started with us back in Jacksonville. A lot of people didn't get him. A lot of people did not understand him or like couldn't figure out what he was about. And I'll never forget being like, 'Hey if you wanna wear a hood on TV, you should do it. Just try it, just do it.' And his dad was like, 'No, he's gotta show his face.' I said 'No just let him do it. Let's see what happens.' So it's cool to see that it take off the way it has. And obviously we are very proud to see how far he's come. Especially from when he first started to where it is now. The Team Taz group has been through a lot, quite a bit. And where we're at right now is not where we want to be, but it's way better than where we were. So I'm glad and I'm proud to see where he's at. And he's awesome."

Jay White thinks the term "Forbidden Door" is played out: "It's not so forbidden anymore. I feel like we need to coin a new term for it. I don't know if the door really suffices.
