Max Caster has spoken out about the rap that cost him a job at TNA.
At Bound For Glory, Max Caster made his TNA debut when he answered Moose’s open challenge. Caster performed a rap on his way to the ring, which included the line, “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.”
That line was a step too far for TNA, and quickly led to the promotion issuing a statement confirming that Caster would no longer wrestle for the company.
In a new Instagram reel, Caster has addressed the situation and apologized to TNA and the people who helped him on his way to the promotion.
“Just to address all the TNA stuff, I want to say thank you to Carlos Silva. I talked to him in person. He was very generous, very professional even after all this stuff happened. I understand why he did what he did. It’s his show, he’s got to protect TNA, and I went too far for him.
“So I want to apologize to him and everybody else in the office. I want to apologize to anyone who vouched for me to get that spot. I feel like I let those people down. Thank you to Moose for sharing your platform with me. I wish things didn’t turn out the way they did, but I’m proud of that match and I’m sorry for how things have ended up.”
Caster stopped short of apologizing for causing offence, instead saying that it was not his intention to upset anyone.
“And then for anybody who’s offended, I just want everybody to know that when I do these raps, it’s never to offend people, it’s only to entertain. So in my mind, it’s entertainment value first. And then if you’re offended by it, that’s your right. So, I can’t apologize for anyone being offended. But just know that it’s not my intention to make people upset.
“If it gets a reaction, I think I did my job. It was a very relevant part of the show and highly talked about. So I feel good about that, but the consequences of everything, I’m accepting that. I can accept the facts of that.”
Max Caster Admits Being “Embarrassed” At TNA Situation
Continuing, Max Caster said he’s good, but embarrassed about getting fired after just one match.
“And then to anybody who is asking if I’m good, I’m good. I’m just embarrassed how all this happened. You don’t want it to be one match and then that’s it and get fired. But again, that’s the reality of the situation. I’m accepting it, and that’s life, and in life, sometimes you got to man up and just accept it and move on.
“So, whatever’s next, I don’t know, but we’ll see. Thank you everybody who’s reaching out and supporting.”
Max Caster has been a free agent since October 1st, when his and his Acclaimed teammate Anthony Bowens’ AEW contracts expired.
