Song of the Moment LXXXI: CFO$’s “Root of All Evil” (feat. Incendiary)

Aleister Black returns to WWE and attacks The Miz.

On last week’s SmackDown, Aleister Black returned and attacked The Miz. Sorry, Miz, you are one of my favorites of the modern era, but seeing Black on WWE makes me so happy because he is also a favorite of mine of this era. I have been a fan of Black since I saw his match against Neville at WWE’s United Kingdom Championship Tournament in 2017 (his name is Tommy End at that time), and then I followed his NXT and main roster run. He has a dark, mysterious aura, and his strikes are precise and vicious. If Black and The Undertaker would battle it out in the ring to see who’s the best pure striker, that would be awesome.

Side note: I wish I could say that I followed Aleister Black’s entire AEW run as Malakai Black, but I can’t. I only saw a few matches, but that’s it. Sorry.

Anyway, not only is Aleister Black back in WWE, but his first (and best) WWE theme song, “Root of All Evil”, is back as well. (Well, a remix of it, at least.) “Root of All Evil” sounds like an epic orchestral rock song you would hear during the apocalypse, and it is my third favorite pro wrestling theme of all time next to Finn Bálor’s “Catch Your Breath” and The Undertaker’s theme. Hearing it again on WWE again makes me so ecstatic.

After seeing Aleister Black’s return, I looked up “Root of All Evil” on Spotify, but sadly it’s not available there. Because of that, I’m listening to it on YouTube for now.

Welcome back, Aleister Black!

Song of the Moment LXXVI: Jim Johnston’s “Rest in Peace”

Oh, man… today, after a long trip to the south to survey and work on a test job, I feel so tired. In fact, I’m so tired that I did not even bother listening to music at all. Or at least until now. I rarely skip music time.

And what is the last song I listened to? It’s the last version of the legendary Undertaker’s theme song, “Rest in Peace”. (Correct me if I’m wrong about the last version.) It is made by another legend in professional wrestling, the musical genius Jim Johnston. (I say this again: Mr. Johnston should be in the WWE Hall of Fame.)

Now that I think about it, I will listen to “Rest in Peace” again tonight, and then I will rest. Not in peace, just rest.

Until the next post.

10-Minute Warning CLXX

All right. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

I did not do anything at my main job today, so I had time to adjust and train myself for my potential second job (I can’t tell what it is for now)… and I was so stressed. I’m still a beginner and what I have been working on so far is just a trial, but the stress was off the charts. I hope to get through the stress and learn faster so I can finally work and earn a bit more money.

What else? I’m supposed to make a lengthy, celebratory post today because it is the birthday of my favorite professional wrestler, but a slice of my favorite baked cheesecake from Satchmi will do for now. Happiest birthday to the Deadman, The Undertaker! I wish you nothing the best in life, sir!

And speaking of The Undertaker, I’m ending this post with my favorite Undertaker tribute video from WWE. Please click here to view it.

Have a great week, everyone!
