In professional wrestling, fans rarely ever see something entirely unique. Everything has already been done – but sometimes fans get to see an old gimmick done better. This is the case with AEW’s rapping wrestler – Max Caster. While he initially got responses from fans saying he was ripping off John Cena – Cena would go on to praise both the rapping skills and in-ring skills of Caster.
Max Caster Was Inspired To Get Back Into Watching Wrestling By John Cena
Now, we have the response from Max Caster himself. During a virtual signing with Golden Ring Collectibles, Caster would be asked about Cena – and had the following to say when asked if he could beat Cena in a rap battle.
“John has been very, very nice to me and when he didn’t need to. He reached out and he made that public so I’m allowed to say it now so he reached out and then he said things publicly about me in Forbes and that means a lot to me. So, it’s never been about beating him in a rap battle. It’s about trying to get past the point of people saying I’m a Thuganomics rip-off. Am I to an extent? Maybe. He’s a huge influence on me, one of my favorite wrestlers.
The guy, I will say in 2004 that got me back into watching wrestling. So, I take that energy and propel it forward and say, maybe there’s people now in 2022, even last year who fell out of wrestling that they hear there’s this rapping guy on wrestling now and he does these disses and they are hilarious and you watch it and you say, ‘Oh, this is my guy.’ You listen to the mixtapes, songs or diss tracks that I put out, the music videos, you say, ‘Wow, this guy actually has some skill.’
Right now, Max Caster is one half of The Acclaimed, a tag team fans expect to see claim the AEW World Tag Team Championships before long.
