Max Caster’s TNA run lasted about one day, and fans had plenty to say about it.
Caster debuted at Bound for Glory on Oct. 11 in Tampa, losing to Moose after answering his open challenge. His entrance rap included the line “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh.” It came a day after a missile strike on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport killed 12 people and injured more than 300, per Wrestling Inc.
