King and Black reunited at PWG Mystery Vortex 7
Aug 18, 2021
At the recent Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Mystery Vortex 7 event, Malakai Black made his surprise return to PWG, when he and Brody King rescued Bandido from a Super Dragon led beat down.
Black and King are set to team together at PWG’s next show Threemendous VI on September 26, and ahead of the show, King has spoken of his relationship with Black, telling Wrestling Inc.:
“It’s crazy because I feel like there’s not a lot of surprises in pro wrestling anymore, and now Tommy has been the main focus point of two of them, which is pretty awesome. That moment at PWG, it was insane. I was a fan in the crowd when Super Dragon had the lights out moment, and the crowd would go insane, and now I’m part of it, which is insane to say. And being able to have that moment with Tommy, it was just special.
“He’s always been a really good friend of mine, and I told him the day of the show, about five years ago, I went to Florida when WrestleMania was there. I did an EVOLVE tryout, and I was sleeping on his couch and I think I had one WrestleMania weekend show. I got paid $5 to do, and I’m sleeping on Tommy’s couch and he debuted at Takeover that day. Five years later, here we are preparing to do our thing together, so it was a really, really cool moment, like a full circle moment.”
