Tony Khan Touts Hook As ‘Very Important Young Wrestler’

Tony Khan, Hook and Action Bronson have all commented ahead of the 22-year-old’s debut which airs on tonight’s AEW Rampage.

Khan paid fees to license rapper Action Bronson’s song ‘The Chairman’s Intent’ as Hook’s entrance music, which was a pitch from Hook himself.

Speaking with Pitchfork, Khan described the decision as an “investment in the presentation of a very important young wrestler”.

Khan added:

“People really like Hook! He’s gotten great responses without really doing much. There’s lots of cool memes where fans can’t wait to see Taz unleash his son Hook.”

Regarding his music choice, Hook himself said:

“I’ve been an Action Bronson fan since I was in sixth grade. I would hear him shout out all these old school wrestlers, old school strong man s**t, and all these old athletes. With that and the New York vibe, I had a feeling that my dad would f**k with it as well. When I showed him, he loved it.”

Action Bronson also commented, saying:

“Recently Taz hit me up saying that Hook was making his debut and they wanted to use that song. I was like, ‘Absolutely’.

“When that man walks out and you hear that music pop, you hear that crowd jump, it’s something special. That pop that he got? That’s a big pop for a brand new wrestler. I see good things. He’s a specimen.”

Regarding the cost of licensing the song, Tony Khan called Action Bronson a “great guy” and said they came to an agreement on a “fair fee”.

Hook’s AEW debut airs tonight on Rampage in a match against Fuego Del Sol, which was taped prior to Wednesday’s Dynamite in Long Island. WrestleTalk.com will provide live coverage of Rampage later tonight.
