Malakai Black takes some time off

[Ricky Smarks]

He leads his own stable of jobbers on NJPW Strong now too that's pretty cool, I was becoming so much of a fan in ROH last year the more they let him talk. Rated him higher than Vicent for a time with the righteous even

Higher than Vincent, though? Blasphemous.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I actually feel like The Righteous and HoB could make a good combo of a stable and with Vincent looking like he does. You could do a Firefly family-eque thing as well

Yeah, that would be dope.

Please bring Dutch with him. Man keeps getting left out.

Not trying to be nosy about his private life but has it been confirmed that he's leaving because of personal issues? I just want to know if he was unhappy with the company because I thought they used him quite well since he signed.

Not quite, but given the wording and his actions at all All Out it can be assumed as such that he is leaving on personal issues

I blame it more on me being so fucking tired of thr Taven/Vincent feud by that point that Bateman just felt like a breathe of fresh air lol

Agreed. Low key this have given me the idea of BTB now

Only way taven will be remembered

I think it was SRS that said after a lot of rumors were already swirling that he did ask for his release, but it was for mental health reasons not anything to do with creative in the company. I wouldn't say that can ever be 100% confirmed tho, only Black would know his true feelings

 

[Ricky Smarks]

No lie, King, Buddy, Julia, Bateman and Dutch would be a dope ass faction. Can Tony’s rat get this back to him?

They did milk that, but to be fair, it was one of the few things they had with legit heat after Covid and competition killed their business off.

No rat, I think Tony himself lurks. He's probably really busy this week tho and might miss these

Also I could do without Dutch myself but they need someone to take falls, he could work but I'd prefer a smaller dude for that lol

I hope he gets better and spends some quality time with his wife while she's not wrestling.

Would be fine with Brody/Buddy teaming or just going solo with a loose alliance myself

As I said in the chatroom Violence United with Brody King, Buddy, The Butcher & The Blade would be awesome Julia & Allie can team up as two witches as well

 

[OMB]

That said bringing in Stray Dog Army

That's a good idea.

I like this a lot actually. I'd just keep the house of black name still tho if Malakai is cool with that (since it is his name still lol)
