Well, let me tell ya ’bout this fella, Aleister Black. I don’t know much ’bout wrestlin’, but I heard folks talkin’. They say he was a big deal, then poof, gone like a fart in the wind.
Seems like this company, WWE, they let him go. Said somethin’ ’bout “budget cuts.” Hmph, sounds like they just didn’t wanna pay him no more. Like when old man Johnson sold his prize pig ’cause feed prices went up. Same kinda thing, I reckon.
Now, this Aleister fella, he was on some show called SmackDown. Folks seemed to like him. He had this whole dark and spooky thing goin’ on. Reminded me of that time the preacher tried to scare us with stories ’bout the devil. Same kinda vibe, ya know?
- They say he was a champion, whatever that means. Guess he was good at thumpin’ folks.
- He just came back, too. Then bam! Out the door. Don’t make no sense to me.
- Heard tell he was gonna start a fight with another big fella, Big E they called him. Sounds like a hog farmer’s name, don’t it?
This Aleister, he went on some kinda internet thingy, Twitch or somethin’, and told everyone what happened. Said they told him it was ’bout money. I tell ya, money’s the root of all evil. Always messin’ things up.
WWE released talents, they say. Sounds fancy, but it just means they fired a bunch of folks. Like when the cannery closed down and half the town lost their jobs. Same kinda hurt, I bet.
It ain’t right, I tell ya. This Aleister fella, he was workin’ hard, entertainin’ folks. And they just toss him aside like an old shoe. Makes me madder than a hornet in a pickle jar.
I heard someone sayin’ Aleister Black was surprised. Well, no duh! Who wouldn’t be surprised to get the boot after just comin’ back? It’s like plantin’ a garden, watchin’ it grow, then havin’ someone come along and stomp all over it.
This “budget cuts” excuse, it’s just a way to hide the truth, I reckon. They probably just wanted someone cheaper, or maybe they didn’t like his spooky ways no more. Who knows with them city folk?
Aleister Black’s release, it got folks talkin’, that’s for sure. They say it was a shock, a surprise. Well, life’s full of surprises, ain’t it? Like that time the cow got on the roof. Never did figure out how she got up there.
I ain’t sure what this Aleister fella’s gonna do now. Maybe he’ll go wrestle somewhere else, or maybe he’ll find somethin’ else to do. He’s a tough fella, I bet he’ll be alright. Just gotta dust himself off and keep on goin’.
Wrestlin’s a strange business, I tell ya. One minute you’re on top of the world, the next you’re out on your ear. Reminds me of that time we had that big storm. Wiped out the whole corn crop in one night.
This WWE, they got their reasons, I guess. But it don’t make it right. Treatin’ folks like they ain’t nothin’ but numbers on a spreadsheet. It ain’t right, I tell ya. It just ain’t right.
So that’s the story of Aleister Black and WWE, as best as I can tell it. A fella who lost his job, for reasons nobody really understands. Just another story in this crazy world, I reckon.
Folks will keep watchin’ that wrestlin’ stuff, and they’ll find new fellas to cheer for. But they won’t forget Aleister Black, not for a while anyways. He made an impression, that’s for sure. Like a good strong cup of coffee on a cold mornin’.
And that’s all I gotta say ’bout that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed the chickens.
