Anthony Bowens Says Vignettes With Max Caster Are Legit, Says Neither Is a ‘Jannetty’

Anthony Bowens says that his and Max Caster’s vignettes forcing them to bond are “legit” and that neither of them want to be a tag team again. Bowens and Caster split as a team in January of last year. The two went on singles runs, but have been forced to team up on AEW TV in recent months.

Bowens spoke with the Phoenix New Times for an interview and was asked about his and Caster’s vignettes. Bowens noted that the videos are “legit” which is why they come off as authentic.

Bowens was also asked which of the two is the “Jannetty,” aka the lesser member of the team (so named, rather ignominiously, after Marty Jannetty) and said that neither of them are. You can see the highlights below:

On the Vignettes With Max Caster:

“So those videos are legit. Tony sends a camera and we try and do our team building. So everything you see is just us interacting as we would. And there’s nothing written, there’s no scripts. We’re just going out and experiencing life, trying to put the pieces back together; at least, Tony’s trying to get us doing that. So I think that’s probably why it comes off as so genuine and authentic — because it is.”

On If the Vignette Is Building To The Acclaimed Reuniting:

“I mean, I can’t deny that we have a certain chemistry, considering our past success, but at this point, neither one of us want to be in a tag team, so we are fighting it as much as we can. Even in our moments where we disagree with each other, there’s chemistry as well. So it’s very hard to say. We both have singles aspirations. We feel like we accomplished what we wanted to accomplish in the tag-team division. So we don’t really feel like being together again is very necessary. But again, we were constantly reminded by Tony and the fans that chemistry remains and we should be back together. But I don’t really see that happening anytime soon, to be honest.”

On Which of them Is the ‘Jannetty’ Of the Team:

“I’m not even gonna throw insults or anything like that. Max and I, we’re both stars in our own way. People get so caught up with who’s better and who’s this. We both have our strengths and we both have our things that make us stars. There’s a reason why we’re on television. There’s a reason why we both became one of the most popular things in pro wrestling. That would happen if one of us couldn’t, you know, carry our weight. So I don’t think either one of us is a Jannetty. I think we’re both stars.”
