Max Caster Issues Statement on His TNA Firing, Apologizes to Carlos Silva & TNA Office

As previously noted, TNA Wrestling announced after Bound for Glory that Max Caster will not be working with them going forward due to a line in his freestyle rap that he delivered while walking to the ring for his bout with Moose at the event. During his segment, he dropped a line about about Riyadh being bombed. Max Caster has now issued a statement on his dismissal from TNA on his X account.

Caster was apologetic to TNA Wrestling staff and company president Carlos Silva, addressing that he spoke to him in person about the issue. He stated the following in the clip:

“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. And 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, and 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.

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.

And then to anybody who is asking if I’m good, I’m good. I’m just embarrassed how all this happened. It’s, you know, you don’t want it to be one match and then that’s it, you 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.”
