@@ShakWrestling if this was you interviewing I really respect you gave him an out (multiple times at that). It feels grimey when interviewers want a soundbite that could potentially harm the subjects life. You handled that really respectfully.
@@BrandonH58 Yup! Thanks, Brandon. Really appreciate that. Totally agree with you. I can get a good quote elsewhere, don't need to push where people may be uncomfortable. Hope you stick around for more interviews 😁
I ingest a ton of overall wrestling content from watching shows, interviews and whatever I can get my hands on. This is one of the best personal interviews I've seen. The respect for Regal was so genuine. His childhood experiences were awesome to hear about. I really enjoyed this interview.
Him & so many others well Vince did imo because in NXT he was a monster as pretty much everyone was but as soon as Vince got his grimy hands on em it was over unless you're Roman it's rare you'll get pushed to your fullest potential
He's feuding with jobbers currently........not necessarily being used well in AEW....his debut was flawless but not having him in the title picture is a damn shame.
@SHAK Wrestling. You missed my question! LOL I enjoyed the interview. Malakai Black is very intelligent and articulate with his points and this was a great interview. Looking forward to seeing more of the content and what Malakai brings to AEW. #ProWrestling is Back.
Great interview, and such a fascinating talk with ideas . Especially about his family interviews like these help performers as we understand them. The story about his grand father is amazing on its own. I'm from Malaysia 🇲🇾! Honestly talking about that HHH Era of NXT and I've heard from so many I truly believe that if Hunter ever was to go on his own with his own company, Game Over! Something is happening with these releases. I have a strong feeling
Great interviews (like this) goes both ways. I can't believe that I follow pro-wrestling for like 2 + decades and never heard about Shak. Good and interesting questions that I would probably be interested to ask Malaki myself if I had the chance. Shak is also a very good listener and easy going person. And what can I say about Malakai? What a good professional he is. I mean, he is a total different person out of character and someone I could relate to. Instant subscribe, follow and share from me!
It's so good to hear black talk about these things so openly as we dont know that much about him personally, hes one of my favorite wrestlers right now I see massive things for him in the future.. he should have been a main eventer in wwe they really dropped the ball with black.. glad he now has the freedom and respect he deserves in AEW.. The house of black welcomes you
I remember seeing him in the UK 🇬🇧 on the independent circuit as Tommy End He was real good back then I remember watching him as Alister Black it took me several weeks (an a tiny bit of research to realise who he was, lol) As everyone seems to keep putting WWE definitely missed out (dropped the ball) with this guy Onwards and upwards
Tommy has one of the best minds in wrestling and in the world honestly, he always feel so genuine, and I love how you conducted this interview, I can tell you actually cared about your questions and remained very respectful. I'm definitely subscribing after seeing this, very good job here.
I was so surprised this guys was from Holland just like me. I'm not the most knowledgeable guy about wrestling but i had never seen a Dutch wrestler or opportunities to wrestle in Holland. And then making it all the way to AEW and WWE? That's amazing
IDK if yall remember back in wcccw they had the great kubukii he had the spit that mist out to that's where the great muta got it from. Texas wrestling where the von erichs from they had a lot of good wrestlers back then alot of them are WWE Hof black is awesome WWE lost a great gift and TK pick him up now he's shinning bright glad for him great interview 🤟
Ive been following his career for years now, i thought for a min there around the end of 2018 early 2019 nxt was gonna really gonna do something great with him. As soon as he got released i got so excited, besides his character his talent as a pro wrestler is just amazing.
That part about his childhood and religion he grew up in was pretty great, love that he got into it so in depth despite you being a little hesitant about asking the question. Like kinda contrasts on the Tony khan interview where you asked the unionization question and he turned it down, but the fact you asked a risky question As an interviewer is pretty cool, don’t think any other interviews in the game do that, but sometimes it pays off like in this interview. Keep up the great work hopefully the RU-vid algorithm eventually works in ur favor …. 900 something subscribers is criminal! 😂
Shak, First time to see one of your videos and I love that you ask original and in depth digging questions. It's great to hear real answers and not character portrayal. Thank You!, Matt -Toronto, Canada (NEW SUBSCRIBER)
This guy is undoubtedly my favorite. As well he should be because he cares about me the fan. With that said I will share every ounce of energy I have as a fan to feed his fire.. he gets it. Overthink the hell out of it brother it works...
He’ll be great as an AEW booker or an agent once his career comes to an end he has a great mind for the business helping young talent grow and help the business in general fresh ideas always help
It's just a contact to my knowledge. It extends from an angle where Seth Rollins kayfabe injured Rey Mysterio's eye then proceeded to do the same with Black. He built it into is look/character and if I recall correctly he had it in his final appearance before is WWE release.
He mentioned in his AEW Unrestricted podcast appearance that the idea of Malakai Black sparked from a demon of sorts infesting into that hurt eye and possessing Aleister/Tommy End
He’s a great wrestler but his gimmick is the same from WWE I think he should of done more of a Conor McGregor style character where he talks more and hyped up fights and keeps the mma kicks And stuff
I started whatching AWE dynamite 🧨 because of Malakai he is one the best not wrestler but fighter literally I see him in the ring 💍 I love his Marshall Arts of fighting I love ❤️ his kick-boxing talent .
