Former WWE Star and current AEW Star Malakai Black (Aleister Black) recently made an appearance on an episode of Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, where he talked about how his lift entrance was supposed to be for The Undertaker and his thoughts on WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Below are the highlights:
On how his lift entrance was supposed to be for The Undertaker:
“I got a text from Hunter one morning. He showed me this big lift that goes up. I said, ‘So, I lay on there and it comes up?’ He said, ‘Yea, it was going to be for Taker, but Taker was too heavy for it. What do you think of it?’ I said, ‘I’ll take it.”
On his thoughts on WWE Chairman Vince McMahon:
“At one point, you feel like you’ve thrown everything into the wall, which I did, and the rest is history. I’m very thankful for my time. I’m very thankful to Hunter. I’m very thankful to Vince. Since day one, Vince has always been very fond of me. I’ve always had good conversations with him, but I definitely think that there was a moment where Vince was like, I don’t know what to do with this guy, and everytime I would say, ‘Why don’t we do this?’, he would say, ‘Yea, maybe, maybe, maybe.’ I think Vince was very keen on figuring it out himself, but I think he never did. I think that is what put the nail on the coffin.”
