– The Firm’s Stokely Hathaway is furious after the injury he suffered at the hands of Hook. Stokely released a statement on his Twitter threatening AEW he will sue them unless Hook is punished.

Stokely Hathaway wrote in his statement, “Please don’t make me sue this company, Tony Khan. You know that portrait of your father that’s hanging in your office? Well, once I own this company, I’m replacing it with a big ass photo of James Brown. Yep. Every time you see the Godfather of Soul sweating in a drug-fueled rage at the Apollo, you’re going to think of me. Sounds pretty miserable, bro.”

He added, “Do the right thing. Punish this little bastard HOOK and write me a fat check.” His tweet also contained a photo of him and Reverend Al Sharpton, who Stokely notes is his “best friend.” You can view Stokely’s tweet and AEW’s response below:
