We’re told his future with the company is now uncertain, with upcoming taping plans potentially affected

the only thing dumber than giving max castor mic time freestyle and being shocked about it is getting hired by a company that's pretty much a subsidiary child promotion of the company that has deep ties to the saudi arabian government and doing a saudi arabian joke

And... it has been decided now that he will no longer work in TNA after that.

"During Sunday's Bound For Glory pay-per-view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured many people.

Making light of violent attacks is wrong. This should never have made it into the show, and that responsibility is ours. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected. We sincerely apologize.

We have removed the segment from replays and our social channels and are taking steps to ensure something like this never happens again.

Max Caster will no longer be wrestling for TNA."

I didn't think twice of it when I heard it, but as a TNA fan, I'm glad he's not sticking around, regardless of the reason.

I mean, shoot your shot, but I don't know what he thought was gonna happen.

I'm still at a loss as to why the acclaimed broke up.

honestly its proof that the best part of max's freestyles were anthony bowens exaggerated expressions of mock shock after the fact.

I think he figured he would just go in and do what he always has done. Seriously, edgy diss raps with topical references during his entrance are pretty much his whole gimmick.

I think the bigger question is, what did TNA think was going to happen? They brought in Max Caster and gave him a live mic with no oversight, did they not expect him to do Max Caster things?

Love him or hate him, this was entirely predictable. Except, apparently, by the TNA brain trust.

He got in trouble in AEW with one of his raps at one point, so either TNA didn't learn from that, or he didn't.
