AEW star Malakai Black made an appearance on Talk Is Jericho to discuss a wide range of topics. 

 
  
 

During it, the former WWE star talked about where the Aleister Black name came from:

“Initially, me and Hunter started talking about a name, and he coined Alleister Black with a double L.  He said, ‘My style is more like martial arts, but it’s Muay-thai and a little bit of kickboxing’  I didn’t want to be compared to Alistair Overeem.  He’s Dutch.  Out of respect for him, and I knew that if I coined the name as Aleister Crowley.  I knew that certain individuals would write conspiracy things about me. 

People thought that I was either trying to pay homage to the occultists.  I just knew that it would get people talking.  I knew people were, for good or bad, going to make references between the occult and that name, and they did, and they still do because of the symbolism that I use and all the weird connections that I make with my characters towards the darker side of things. 

A really good chunk of occultist literature, but I have to find a way to translate it.  I can’t just use iconography that is only known in a certain part of the world that hopefully people will pick up.  It has to be in a Westernized way that people subconsciously or subconsciously pick that stuff up and make the bridges between them.  That’s the tricky part, but that’s also been a very fun part for me.”
