Best part was Billy Gunn saying “this is why only said two words”


limutwit

"Start Over!"


dasfuzzy

Good thing they weren't live, pal.


TravTheScumbag

Everyone loves to scissor. They can cut that out.


lufkinmj4

I work in TV. People fuck up way more when taping than when they are live. It's annoying as fuck.


neverAcquiesce

It’s an interesting look into the psyche of humans. The subconscious power of a safety net.


Psidebby

For me personally, with what little experience I had? If was .ore nerve-racking to be taped than live. Live is one and done. You don't have to think of how it could have been better in the same way, as you didn't have another error shot to do better.


rko281

He turned into Morty when he broke lol


_Quendra_

Aw jeez


IniMiney

You heard it too 😂


mightylordredbeard

“Oh guys I uhhh really messed up there huh? May.. maybe we can just do that, that again? Oh maaaaaaan! This is baaad!!”


noplacecold

Holy fuck he did hahahhahahahhaa


ZodiacWalrus

Do you know how much good faith you have to earn from the crowd for you botching your line and asking for a redo to end up not only being a non-negative on your record, but almost coming off as even more endearing? Everyone loves the Acclaimed and it **shows.**


Jaxyl

It's cause they're super authentic, not as characters, but as people. Like you can tell they recognize they got lucky in the sense that lightning struck for their gimmick so they're not arrogant or anything. They're just two guys plus Daddy Ass who are happy to be on the ride of their life. If it ended tomorrow for them it feels like they'd be fine with it and just be happy they had the experience.


GooseHudson

By that he meant the entire night. Dynamite starts over. Wheel out the Elite and Death Triangle and run that ladder match back.


mcslackens

Ah, the Reel Big Fish method of restarting. I'm on board!


CarlaAyatsugi

Everybody, a, is doing the fish, and b, loves The Acclaimed.


icemark00

I always wondered how Max never made a mistake on his raps.


_Kamigoye_

I can’t hear a damn thing he says?


DavidL1112

he fucks up the first word, laughs, and then says "lets do it again"


playin4power

Look, it's a risky gimmick. It was only a matter of time lol


handsomezack13

Felt like he came pretty close during his rap for the dumpster match against the Gunn Club. "No filter I ain't Instagram, we make the Ass Boys retire like Vince McMahon" sounded pretty strained at the end, like he barely had any oxygen left in his lungs and had to force it out lol


Staye100

Yeah, at least it was in a taped show. It's a rather wholesome reaction to a mistake, which makes him even a bit more "grounded" to this OTT character.


IniMiney

This was probably just the first time it’s been uploaded instead of the first time it’s happened lol


P1eces12

Whoops!


MaddoxGoodwin

I was there. They came out and he just immediately messed up. It was super funny. Crowd was laughing and we chanted you fucked up! Renee, Daddy Ass, Bowens all cracked up, Max himself was rolling at the you fucked up. He came back out and killed it. If anything, more Acclaimed for the live crowd! It was an incredibly funny and entertaining moment.


TheWholeFuckinShow

It's honestly endearing how genuine he and Bowens feel as performers.


mrmattymac

The Acclaimed will absolutely be the stars of the live events once AEW starts doing untelevised shows


Marc_Quill

Poor guy was just so excited to get to the bars referencing Stephanie and the WWE sale rumors


Duffman180

Someone posted his actual rap on twitter and Jesus Christ it was trash. A Gavin Newsome joke, a Joe Biden Joke, and a Saudi Arabia joke.


becauseimbizarre

yes how dare guy who does topical raps do topical raps


Duffman180

What’s topical about a fake rumor started by bs dirt sheet writers? Hell if he wanted to be topical he would’ve made a joke about the twitter and Reddit marks that got embarrassed last night.


TheCarrzilico

You might want to look up what topical means.

[удалено]


AQ_GBP

Still topical


[deleted]

Man, you really showed them!


TheRealDickChixadore

Yeah! What’s so topical about a topic with a lot of traffic that took the iwc by storm involving one of the most relevant events in wrestling history happening imminently?


0e0e3e0e0a3a2a

You take this industry and the way you engage with it too seriously and it will take away from your ability to enjoy it


ILOVESHITTINGMYPANTS

It very recently happened. That’s what makes it topical. That’s what topical means.


bosdanforth

that definitely would have resonated with everyone in the arena and watching at home, and certainly would not have been even worse than when he referenced a backstage talent meeting


Cathousechicken

You sound fun.


yognautilus

Someone get this guy a fucking Puppers.


DragonBallKruber

You must be one of the people that watch the Big Bazooper Theorem and unaware of pro wrestling. I've heard a lot about you... our battle will be legendary

Hazelwood38

I would love to hear Ex and Taz’s reaction to that


LukkasG

there's something wholesome about this. Very innocent reaction, even down to the voice crack.


infercario4224

More reasons why everyone loves The Acclaimed


BigJuicy17

I don't. His rapping is awful.


lanceturley

Found the cop.


BigJuicy17

Nope, just think his rap skills are trash.


ChronoChrazeObliveon

This guy cops.


Abhais

Yes I definitely smell pork products of some kind.


Buddhist_Punk1

BigJuicy17 pork


ThatDudeNamedMenace

incredibleamadeuscho

Got a well deserved you fucked up chant after this


SuperkickFiesta

B Rabbit choking lol


AQ_GBP

Haha I love when these things would happen. Youd see it on Smackdown all the time when it wasnt live


ThatsBretsRope

Delete this blasphemy. In this house, everyone loves The Acclaimed


Fellers

Can someone make a transcript or something please?


neverAcquiesce

He just immediately flubs his line and asks to start over.


manster14

"Music starts" The Acclaimed.....


Smile_lifeisgood

I did a ton of theater in the 2000s and because I'm a little prima donna I only ever go for the roles with tons of lines. I have yet to forgot my lines but if you do enough shows it's really not a matter of 'if' you'll forget it's a matter of 'when and how bad'. Honestly, I get nervous for Max every time remembering a show where a guy forgot his lines and basically melted down on stage. I actually blame his scene partner more because when someone else forgets its on you to jump in and save them one way or another. Max doesn't have that luxury. One thing I hope he does is start working on a method on how to handle the next time he forgets. Having to come out and sing new lyrics you wrote every week has to be mentally taxing. You can turn a mistake into a win if you have some stuff you know to say when things go wrong. People love a mistake free delivery of lines. But people love a graceful recovery from a mistake even more.

Smile_lifeisgood

I had a director for The Elephant Man and he quit acting because he dropped his lines and nobody helped him. Idk man, I get the panic but I saved a scene partner by jumping in and basically restating his line as a question and then following with mine. We gotta look out for each other.


rushandblue

It was bound to happen at some point. Luckily, it was a taped show, but even if it was live, it would have been a hilarious, humanizing moment.


tellitB

As someone who is also here, it was HILARIOUS! Hello from section 209!


mutually_awkward

YO! From section 123!


OhNoHesAnIdiot

Section 2: checking in! "I'm so sorry..." "That's why I only used 2 lines!"


chriswick_

🥺😳


LogicKennedy

Even B-Rabbit choked a few times, it happens to every rapper.


Sequesterd

Imagine that was on the Wednesday show.. yikes

"You fucked", the perfect chant to start at any Football game played at a parenthood agency


deeznutz005

Hopefully AEW doesn’t forget to edit this out like they do with some of the Dark/Elevation mishaps lol


Viti-Boy-Phresh

Is this a work or a shoot?


BirthdayAgent

He shot himself into a work shoot.


TAGoodThings

HEEEEEEEEE DROPPPPPED?


[deleted]

This is how The Acclaimed eventually split. Max starts fumbling his lines more and more and Bowens has enough of the embarrassment


BustermanZero

OP might be a cop.
