AEW star lashes out at the company for censoring him ahead of Full Gear 2024 - "Cowards"
An AEW star has sent a message to the Tony Khan-led promotion for editing his quotes from a promo package. The name in question is none other than Max Caster.
At the Full Gear Pay-Per-View, AEW World Tag Team Champions Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy) are set to defend their titles against The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens), House of Black (Malakai Black & Brody King), and The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum). The promotion recently released a hype package for the match ahead of the PPV and Max Caster reacted to the post.
On his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, Max Caster encouraged the promotion to release the 'Caster Cut' as his quotes were cut in the package posted by AEW on social media.
"I know I had some good quotes recorded for this… None were included??? Release the Caster Cut, cowards!"
Max Caster had no interest in seeing Shelton Benjamin in AEW
Shelton Benjamin recently debuted in AEW and has been dominating alongside Bobby Lashley and MVP as The Hurt Syndicate. The Gold Standard was let go by the WWE last year and many rumors about his All Elite Wrestling arrival began to circulate. The Acclaimed's Max Caster shared his true thoughts about Benjamin's potential arrival earlier this year.
In a chat on Insights with Chris Van Vliet, Max Caster vented his problems with Shelton Benjamin and claimed that the promotion doesn't need him as he would take TV time from him.
“We don’t want him [Why?] what’s he gonna do? Take up my TV time. Every single free agent that comes up in professional wrestling fans want to go, they’d be great in AEW. We only have so much TV time. Some of that needs to go to me. I don’t want all of it. I’m not selfish, but I’m the best. But if people start calling for Shelton Benjamin, or Motor City Machine Guns or whoever, it doesn’t matter, and not to single anyone out. My sentiment is, why would we want them? We already have the best roster, you already have the best wrestler alive.......If you want anyone to come in and do whatever role they’re going to do. I bet I can do it better. I bet Anthony could do it better."
The Hurt Syndicate handed their business card to Max Caster a couple of weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if some business happens between him and the faction in the future.
