10 Wrestlers That Have Suffered Since WWE WrestleMania 35
3. Aleister Black
At WrestleMania 35, Aleister Black wrestled the second of four matches that weekend, announcing himself as a reliable workhorse and somebody capable of popping four different crowds on very different evenings. Not quite a polymath, he'd nonetheless positioned himself as an extremely reliable and dynamic future headliner.
To celebrate this, WWE put him in a wardrobe.
Spending weeks upon months in a f*cking empty room challenging nobody in particular to "pick a fight" with him, Black's fleeting appearances with the ne'er-do-wells on the other side of his door have been greeted with half the response his original outings had because it's no longer clear what's actually going on with the character.
Yes, before WrestleMania he was a goth with his own creaking platform entrance and an ill-explained bond with the 'One and Only', but at least the matches were admirable showcases of his seriously impressive sh*t. His first major outing after leaving the broom cupboard against Cesaro did more for the 'Swiss Superman', whilst subsequent squashes have advertised his offering far less than one of his old pre-WrestleMania hot tags.
There's a wonderful, wonderful talent literally and figuratively trapped in the system at present. Black and his fans will be hoping the impeding draft can trigger a much-needed rethink.
