Where the hell has Aleister Black been

like I haven't been watching WWE for months but generally I at least get what's going on from twitter people and gif accounts and stuff

Did he piss someone off?

He sits in a dark room and gets mad about people knocking on his door. He had a squash simulated combat on Raw last Monday and I think is supposed to sports entertain against Buddy Murphy at TLC.

They have no idea, NO idea, how to properly use him. So their solution is to either not use him or keep doing the thing that isn't working.

got an idea. the miz should start calling him a-lister, because he misunderstood. and he keeps on trying to be friends with aleister a lot because he thinks he's an a-lister. Then they can't stop cucking each other day and night, making the other one look increasingly like a worthless piece of poo poo. bitter friends to the end

He gets mad because when they knock he has to open the door and it creaks really loudly when he does open it.

We don't need your money!
Black has been complaining that everyone has been ducking him. No one wants to fight him because he kicks too much rear end. He sits in his room, begging for someone to knock on his door and pick a fight with him. Buddy Murphy recently knocked on his door but left before Black could answer.

The angle is completely retarded because decades of WWE programming have shown that the only time you ever had the slightest ability to turn down a match is if youre a champion. So this storyline suggests that WWE has picked Black for raw, and the best way to use him is to have him travel everywhere with the show, and never actually put him in matches because apparently people are afraid of him. Black figures the best way to get a match is to sit in his room and give lovely promos instead of you know actually going out there and disrupting things and issuing challenges to a champion. Buddy Murphy, a heel, knocks on his door, taunts Black when there is no answer, and leaves. Black comes out and looks like a looney toon that got ding dong ditched. Then proceeds to have another promo next week asking Murphy if he realizes what hes done, ignoring you know, weeks of him telling people to do so.

The whole thing is stupid and idiotic. I feel like the better way to do this angle would have been for Black to go out and slaughter some jobber. Then after the match, he sits down and says everyone is scared to fight him, so hes gonna give someone a chance to fight him after hes just fought someone else. Another jobber comes out and he slaughters them too. This goes for a few weeks until Black actually has a competitive match. He gets his leg worked over the entire time. Black wins, but has to be very careful sitting down because his leg is beat up. Hes about to issue his challenge when Murphy comes from behind and beats him up. This starts their feud.

this would make too much sense though for WWE and it is depressing because Aleister "Thomas End" Black is wildly loving awesome and he could easily be doing amazing poo poo anywhere else. Instead he's gonna do nothing forever.

You make really good points about the ridiculousness of the Black storyline currently, but yes please find a different word to use than retarded, you'll still be able to make your point just as strongly saying the angle is dogshit or awful or stupid or terrible.

I believe if I remember correctly, Meltzer reported this Black storyline initially started because he was injured and they wanted to keep him fresh in people's mind. The irony of course being that they've managed to keep Black fresh in fans' minds as a dork sitting in a dark room for months talking to himself.

when something simply isn't working let's say, "that angle dangles," and when it's working quite well we can say, "that angle's spangled." put this in the rules thread.

i was watching an old roh dvd (ring of homicide 2) and saw daizee haze vs billie kay. this was over 11 years ago. who are some other wrestlers that had some pretty obscure beginnings in semi major feds (roh, pwg, tna, etc) that wound up later getting a wwe main roster spot?

So he's not a wrestler, but Mikaze is a seamster there and he was in a handful of ROH tag matches in 2005/6 with Jason Blade.

I ended up on a CZW wiki page; and I was shocked at how many current WWE/AEW wrestlers were champs or had big runs there... I mean Lio Rush? Candice LaRae? Chris Hero? Gulak? MJF? There were so many

A friend of mine lived in Ohio in the mid 2000s and was a fan of local indies like HWA and NWF. There was a guy on their cards who was talented for an undercard dude but who just could not string any meaningful wins together, something the crowd mocked him for. As someone yelled at one show:

"oh, Moxley, will you ever win?"

My own one of these is that back in 2011 I went to one of the last NWA Hammerlock shows in a town called Cheshunt in Hertfordshire. The turnout was pitiful, 25 people if that. I was only there because Colt Cabana was on the card. It was the last independently produced NWA Hammerlock show and it was a sad affair. The only thing that stood out was the main event, which was a cage match between two of their up and coming stars. Jon Ryan was an okay wrestler, nothing special, but that Jimmy Havoc kid had something.

A very young Kenny Omega
Krizstof Szozynski (who competed on TUF)
The Singh Bros that ended up with Jinder Mahal in their first matches

That tracks since Bad News and Don were real close. They were a heel act for years in Canadian wrestling, Bad News was Don's muscle. Don would do mic work and then say "I gave you the good news, now lemme give you the Bad News" and let Bad News run the crowd or his opponent down.
