Aleister Black spent a year in a darkened room asking people to pick a fight with him when all he had to do was walk to the ring, mic in hand, and blather a load of crap for a few minutes before somebody made the interruption. Had he not watched a single f*cking episode of main roster television in two decades?

He got the blathering crap part right, at least. The guy talked utter sh*t.

"In these last remaining seconds," he said on the April 23, 2019 SmackDown, "I can't even begin to explain the complexity of my tragic character."

Vince McMahon can't book anymore, employs a team of hack writers to pen utterly asinine copy, and stuck Aleister Black in catering, thus killing his career.

There. Tragedy explained. That was easy enough.

Vince appears to have conflated Aleister Black with Gangrel who, as the story goes, Vince was never high on. He didn't get nor like vampire characters. Any other old supernatural sh*te, yes, brilliant. But vampires? Vince hated them, and told Gangrel as much.

Perhaps, in 2021, Vince will realise that Black is merely a goth, and will instruct The Miz to tell him to cheer up, this initiating the mandatory three-match PPV series.
