My favorite part of the LORE OF MALAKAI is that he's ostensibly keeping up continuity from his time in WWE with the weird gouged eye and poo poo, so this demon possessing poor Tommy End got fired from his day job, then pored over his contract to make sure he wouldn't get in trouble if he showed up in AEW after only 30 days.

on the other hand, what self-respecting demon wouldn’t know its way around a contract :colbert:

I didn't watch any of his WWE stuff building this character up cause lol WWE. Is there a playlist on YouTube or something with all his LORE?

no . literally anything he's going off was in the last year after his 2nd feud feud with Rollins/Murphy was awful and then a kevin owens feud where he kept losing, and then whatever his dark father stuff was.

Murphy gouged his eye with the makeup and contact out on steps and turned heel because of it, then he wore an eye patch in wwe for a bit in the owens feud and everyone thought he looked silly, thne he was off tv forever until this dark father stuff aired on smackdown, then he got released.

if you never watched his matches there Aleister vs Buddy Murphy triology from TLC 2019, Raw 12/30/2019, and Raw 1/13/2020. Aleister Black vs Cesaro from Extreme Rules 2019 as well.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



Aleister Black lore was bad because we only saw him sit in a room but he never got to actually go kick people in the face.

Malachi Black lore is better because we immediately saw him kick two people in the face.

As long as he gets to kick people on a semi regularly basis, he can justify it with as much silly lore as he wants.

no one watches wwe so who knows if its based off any of that. As far as i can tell its only based off the eye stuff making him evil some how.. Dark Father was him reading scary stories before he was fired.

This is actually so legit. Wrestling can be as dumb or silly as it wants as long as The Lore leads to a good wrestling match! There's room for all kind of characters and stories as long as the end result is a good match!

Would no kidding mark out if like two dozen guys walked up to Malakai Black one after another and he kicked all of them and they staggered back or to either side and fell down and in the end he was standing tall in a ring with 24 people laying down everywhere, can't even see the canvas

remember the amazing video we got for Lance Archer's introduction? i want so much more stuff like that :(

(also Joey Janela + Sonny Kiss, Brodie Lee beating up neighborhood goons, that sort of cinematic stuff seems to have disappeared)

If you want a vision of the future of pro wrestling, Imagine Malakai Black kicking a human skull. Forever.

According to Tommy, in an interview he gave post-debut, he's still Tommy End...just possessed by Malachi Black. His instagram thing pretty much says this straight out.

again, it would need to be a devil or daemon possessing Mr. End for them to be able to navigate contract stipulations. A demon would be too loving wild to keep it together.

During the Livestream, he played a track for his (presumably) entrance music, and said that Behemoth was doing the one they were going to use, so...

That's sick if it happens. I wish they'd sound mix their entrance music a little better though in AEW because even good ones get pushed to the background a little too much.

Considering at least once a year or so Nergal publicly backpedals about dumb racist poo poo he keeps saying on social media, I'm not sure that's the best look for AEW.

It's about the least surprising detail about a black metal band from Poland, but it's not great to promote the guy who sold "gently caress Antifa" merch and justified it with "actually it's pro-Poland, not pro-fascism".

It's a problem that they've always had, they use the crowd mics to pick up the entrance music instead of just putting it directly in the feed. Someone re-did Andrade's entrance on Wednesday with his theme directly in the video, and it's SO much better.
