AEW star Malakai Black recently appeared on the AEW Unrestricted podcast. The former WWE Superstar discussed several topics during the interview, including the potential of him doing a cinematic match in All Elite.
“I genuinely don’t know. I do plan on making more short little horror movies that I like. Maybe not all of them are going to be towards the Malakai Black character.
“I do a lot of writing and have various creative outlets in my life. The older I get, the more I discover and the more I discover, the more I went to fill. I have long gotten to the point now of not saying no to myself if I feel like I need to do something.
“It’s the same thing with that movie. People think of that as the first time I did something like that, but way back, before I moved to the United States, I was in a tag team called the Sumerian Death Squad and we used to film promos like little horror movies.
Malakai Black on Cinematic Matches
“Due to where I went, I had to put all those away because they are very graphic, we slice people’s throats and stuff. We can’t have that. I should probably put them back online. That started in 2010-2011 when we did these cinematic promos because we just wanted to be different, I had it in my head, and we had a good location for it.
“This is the creative part of me that I always wanted to express and I was in a company called ICW and the promoter Mark [Dallas] was like, ‘Have fun with it, show me what you got. Do it, do it.’ He gave me that platform to explore that creative part of myself because I always wanted to do it.
“Once that started happening, other promotions were like, ‘that promo, do you mind doing one for us?’ It was something I could use to fill that creative bucket that I have and the same goes with this.
“I filmed that one and now that I have the connections, the budget, the locations, I definitely want to film more of them, but not all of them will necessarily be more towards Malakai Black. I think a bunch of them will. I’ve written five or six right now.”
