Samoa Joe says he and Stokely Hathaway are like brothers. That’s when Stokely isn’t trying to extort Joe anyway.
The two men have featured in several segments together on Ring Of Honor television in recent weeks, usually to discuss Joe’s ROH TV Title. The segments have been praised by many fans for how they have went down.
In a new interview with Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, Samoa Joe talked about his relationship with the ROH board member, noting that he is like a brother.
Stokely, he’s very much in control. He’s doing his best. I just serve as an advisory committee to most of his moves and actions and things that he does. When he decides to breathe, eat, go anywhere. So that’s really kind of the basis of our relationship. I’m glad that he trusts me enough to advise him to do the right things, and so far, he has not disappointed. If he does, I just really hope he’s ready for the consequences that could come down from terrible decisions,”
“He’s so crazy sometimes. He is wild. It’s our little language. He’s like, ‘Stop extorting me,’ but it’s just like a big brother-little brother. Little brother, you gotta do a little more work than big brother, but that’s just the nature of things. He always has little funny cute pet names for things that I do, and extortion is one of them. What can I say? He’s a screwball.”
