Rapper Action Bronson explained how AEW star Hook started using “The Chairman’s Intent” theme song and how the deal came together.

Hook has become one of the most popular stars in All Elite Wrestling. His presentation has been stellar with his calm demeanor and terrific theme song, “The Chairman’s Intent” by Action Bronson.

Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Action Bronson discussed how the deal came together with AEW licensing the music.

Bronson said:

“I’ve known Taz for a while, he knew that I was a fan, I think I did Bubba (Ray Dudley’s) podcast or maybe I told Taz a story about when Bubba threatened to slam me or beat the shit out of me and called me a fat fuck when I was at ECW when I was young. We exchanged numbers at some point and text every so often like, ‘We have to get you in the ring to train.’ I went out to Long Island to train. HOOK has been a fan since he was a younger kid and he loved that song and wanted to use that song. I was like, ‘Be my guest, please’.”

When asked if AEW had to pay for the track, Bronson explained:

“I didn’t make a big deal about the type of money, I didn’t care about that. I just wanted him to use it. They still have to because it’s not owned by me, it’s on Atlantic Records, they had to pay a little fee or whatever. Through me, I don’t want a thing from them.”

The rap artist also explained how he has trained with Taz and Hook in the ring, saying:

“I was training with HOOK and Taz, they were showing me some in-ring moves and I had to do a simple snapmare where I have to flip over. I got up and I was vertigo’d out. I’m not going to be doing any in-ring technical maneuvers. I’m not Dean Malenko over here. I have 1,000 moves, but they’re on the ground, they’re more ambush and slams. I have 1,000 slams.”

Hook will appear on this Friday’s AEW Rampage for a face-to-face confrontation with Danhausen.
