Malakai Black takes some time off

[Canadian Dragon]

I have two and it's that Tony either assumed he was staying no questions asked and had plans for it (might have been the shitty Lambert ones but still plans), or it was to get Cody to stay

Not sure which is worse tho bc both are shit reasons lol

yeah both terrible I agree, because why the fuck are you sacrificing Black for Cody to stay like that's some good booking for either guy. WTF was the retirement bullshit too?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

The obvious answer that correlates with everything Black himself has said and not dirt sheets rumors is that booking had nothing to do with him wanting out lol

yeah that would be the most logical answer, you're probably right.

What was your interpretation of the "and with the combination of the promises in my professional field that were not upheld" line btw?

Even if that line is to do with booking promises, it was just one of several reasons he had for wanting out I guess.

Oh well I have no interpretation because I only skimmed the post and if thats one line I missed it

That changes thing then, I'd be curious what they were. Would have to assume booking bc the only other alternative is payment and I doubt that was an issue?

I have no excuse or reason why Cody was booked like Hogan on his way out. none.

Now I wanna see Cody grow a fu manchu. The Hollywood Nightmare.

I could def see him being annoyed that the HOB angle was heavily put on the backburner due to Fenix being hurt and them feuding with Death Triangle, probably should have just pivoted from the original plans but without knowing all the details it's hard to say bc it later came out that both Black and Buddy were working hurt at the time too and that made way more sense to me why the angle was stretched out

It's really hard and pretty unclear to me. Some times I feel like he's trying to say HE didn't hold up his end of the bargain professionally so to speak because of their injuries and the mental toll he was going through but then I read it again and feel like he was promised things that they didn't deliver on themselves.

Tbf he said over 2 years which includes his WWE time. So it could have been related to both

Makes sense to me that he wants to go back to WWE. Hunter is in charge and was a big fan of his when he was in NXT, also his wife works there.
I wouldn't mind if he jumped ships although I like the HoB stable.

 

[Deezy]

If he jumped ship, I'd have nuclear heat with Black.

AEW picked his ass up and gave him a lucrative deal, hired his friends at his request and was left to do whatever he seemingly wanted.

Then again, even if he didn't, and it's all him still in his feels....zero sympy.
