You may have spotted a slight delay in Aleister Black's now-weekly coffin entrance on TV. That's because his pop-up backboard gimmick failed. Instead of rising up from the grave like this generation's supernatural bad ass, Black had to stand up quickly and walk on as though nothing had happened.

Credit to him for not acknowledging the flub or selling any embarrassment. If you squint, you might be able to see him get to his feet before most even noticed what was going on.
