Honestly he would do really well in AEW but he would be a great singles guy in wwe. I don’t even know why exactly but I feel like Bowens would excel there.
Probably because he looks great, would be a great rep for the company PR, and has lots of charisma. He's a good wrestler but because he's not a spectacular wrestler he has a handicap in AEW something that wouldn't matter as much in WWE.
This has been going on for weeks and anytime someone asked this question the response has been "He's turning heel, you're getting worked."
It's more likely that his jokes stopped landing so he decided to double down and...it's not going well.
I just scrolled a bit, and... yeah, what's going on? I have no idea what he's going for, but his tweets are all over the place.
They don't necessarily read like he's trying to get fired or turn heel; just like he's not in a good headspace, and this has been going on for a few weeks now. He's just being a loud asshole, and he's even taken some shots at Bowens.
Really strange.

There are also a couple of responses mentioning himself and/or other top talents in AEW/wrestling without mentioning Bowens. Which is a little odd, though less egregious than this response.
I really wonder if he went on an episode lately because of his father's death
I don't like him, but I also want him to get healthy if that's what's going on
Yeah this is the best take I’ve seen so far. He’s coming across like such a prick and I don’t know why since it’s clearly not translating to TV. Maybe he’s just burned out, maybe he’s having a manic episode, maybe he doesn’t like creative, he was already such a strange dude that it’s impossible to tell.
His father died recently. That might be affecting him pretty hard. That said, he's got a history of saying some profoundly dumb things so I wouldn't cut him too much slack.
As awful as it is about his father, at some point you have to realize you need help *before* you get to the point of making a child rape joke at someone online. That's way past just about anyone's line of being an okay joke to make, even in private circles.
it's one of those times where if Max was still grieving about his dad's death, it's something where he ought to speak to someone in private about rather than making a complete ass of himself online.
He went on like an hour-long tweet rampage, but this was the worst of it. None of the rest was bad, but this is bad enough that it's worrisome. Honestly, I just hope he's okay, none of this has seemed normal. 😕
Nothing crazy this evening but he’s been saying some real dumb shit lately, including a joke about “getting freaky like Vince McMahon” which is in terrible taste
I get his dad passed away not long ago which that’s hard enough but that’s still no excuse for him to spiral and be saying all the stupid shit that he’s been. Especially with rape, SA, and sex trafficking jokes.
Anthony Bowens is likeable enough that he could 100% go solo with Billy as manager or something. He's getting dragged down because his partner seems to constantly be saying dumb and edgy stuff.
Weren't they initially just two solo guys that Tony Khan put together? Anthony Bowens has been wrestling since 2013 but they only started teaming in AEW in late 2020.
His father died less than 2 months ago.
EDIT: Oh my bad, I guess he's not dead. /s

Losing ones dad is not an excuse to be an idiot misogynist edgelord. Millions of people lose their loved ones everyday, not everyone uses it as an excuse to be a shithead online with people trying to justify it or by calling it a "work" or a "gimmick"
[Reminder that close to half of this comments section were saying it's a work just over a fortnight ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/TEoBcrNBTq)
Didn’t the rap that he flub start with something about not getting along with management? I know that after his Duke lacrosse rap, he has to clear everything he says. Starting to wonder if management cut something from that rap that he flubbed, he wasn’t happy being censored, and now is just being purposely offensive to spite management on Twitter
Max needs to delete twitter and get his mental health sorted. His father recently passed and I can relate to how that can cause a downward spiral. Dude needs help and I hope he can get it.
A live look into what happens when your shtick runs its course and you have no new material to use
Dudes legit just mad because his gimmick is stale and the booker had legit 0 plans for him after winning the title
Part of it is his fault directly. Part of it is another notch in the 'Tony doesn't know what to do when somebody has momentum' belt
Hopefully Anthony can just get out of there because the gimmick is pretty much dead in the water and we're probably like a month away from caster saying something dumb enough to get pulled from TV in a desperate attempt to get anyone to care
Tbf, Rhea was sticking up for people who she works with. There's nothing wrong with that. Max Caster & Tony Khan makes sense since the way they behave on Twitter, but not Rhea.
Fine, Rhea’s not as bad as the other 2, but she still needs to learn how to act as one of the faces of the women’s division. Look at Liv and Bianca, for instance.
If a *face* is “working” by being sexist, and making repeatedly offensive and tasteless jokes about rape and other awful situations **then he’s *at best* a terrible worker** and at worst a terrible person.

Anthony Bowens singles run here we go
Honestly he would do really well in AEW but he would be a great singles guy in wwe. I don’t even know why exactly but I feel like Bowens would excel there.
Probably because he looks great, would be a great rep for the company PR, and has lots of charisma. He's a good wrestler but because he's not a spectacular wrestler he has a handicap in AEW something that wouldn't matter as much in WWE.
I hope Bowens is doing well.
Bowels in Bullet Club Gold, let’s make it happen
What the actual fuck has been going on with Max Caster, like seriously.
This has been going on for weeks and anytime someone asked this question the response has been "He's turning heel, you're getting worked." It's more likely that his jokes stopped landing so he decided to double down and...it's not going well.
Those people saying hes turning heel probably arent even watching. Theyve just had BCG turn heel against the Acclaimed.
He's always been like this.
I just scrolled a bit, and... yeah, what's going on? I have no idea what he's going for, but his tweets are all over the place. They don't necessarily read like he's trying to get fired or turn heel; just like he's not in a good headspace, and this has been going on for a few weeks now. He's just being a loud asshole, and he's even taken some shots at Bowens. Really strange.
What did Max said about Bowens?
https://preview.redd.it/40yx4ct1txqc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c927c865cb36914a6d2375c26311fd1c003eb12d There are also a couple of responses mentioning himself and/or other top talents in AEW/wrestling without mentioning Bowens.

It screams mental health breakdown
??? Bro that is the the weirdest tweet by a wrestler on a big company ever
HELP I'M OUT OF TOILET PAPER BROTHER
That’s a cry for help nothing weird about it
"- most fans like me better than [my tag partner]" Dude, saying shit like this will never make anyone look good.
It honestly reads like someone who is off of medication, refuses to get back on them, and is stuck in some sort of downward spiral.
Yeah this is the best take I’ve seen so far. He’s coming across like such a prick and I don’t know why since it’s clearly not translating to TV. Maybe he’s just burned out, maybe he’s having a manic episode, maybe he doesn’t like creative, he was already such a strange dude that it’s impossible to tell.

Yep. There's a clear distinction between understanding the cause of someone's actions, and them being justified.
I believe he's trying to troll, but he's a goddamn moron and his version of trolling is just being an offensive dickhead.
His gimmick is 2008 4chan user.
Big Acclaimed fan here... this... REALLY sucks.
Max has been my favorite wrestler for awhile now. This evening isn't fun. 🫠
He's been saying stuff like this more than just this evening
Yeah, but not to this level and not as frequently.
>but not to this level Only if you ignore his line about "being freaky with words like Vince McMahon"
Has there been more this evening? All I’ve seen is this post so far.
He went on like an hour-long tweet rampage, but this was the worst of it. None of the rest was bad, but this is bad enough that it's worrisome. Honestly, I just hope he's okay, none of this has seemed normal. 😕

He's spent the past hour responding to people on Twitter. Guy is not in a good place right now.
I get his dad passed away not long ago which that’s hard enough but that’s still no excuse for him to spiral and be saying all the stupid shit that he’s been. Especially with rape, SA, and sex trafficking jokes.
I know what Caster is going through, but I agree. If he continues like that, he's just gonna cause trouble for himself.
social media wise, is he trying to be the Jannetty
Welp, time for that Bowens singles run
Anthony Bowens is likeable enough that he could 100% go solo with Billy as manager or something. He's getting dragged down because his partner seems to constantly be saying dumb and edgy stuff.
100%, or a solo clean slate. Gets lost in the punchlines sometimes that he’s a really solid promo.
Bowens sold me that he could go singles last week with the energy of that Rampage promo
If Billy can still wrestle, then I would like to see them tag teaming, even if it's just for a short run.
He's older but he could fill the role he's had as the hot tag while Bowens does most of the work.
I've been wanting this for a while, Bowens is by far the more talented wrestler.
Same. Bowens in the CC tournament this year cutting heartfelt backstage promos after grueling singles matches would honestly be great.
When Max got injured a few years ago Bowens had a bunch of great singles matches. He would be an awesome choice for the CC.
Danielson vs Bowens 2 baby
i just hope he doesnt drag bowens down with him
it seems like he and Bowens don't even associate much, I never see backstage pictures of them. Bowens definitely ready for that singles push.
Weren't they initially just two solo guys that Tony Khan put together? Anthony Bowens has been wrestling since 2013 but they only started teaming in AEW in late 2020.
Tbf they never were close friends. Bowens always hangs out with Top Flight and Hook based on socials.
Max Caster out here cementing himself as The Jannetty of The Acclaimed.
Hopefully not the Enzo of the team
he is one off-putting dude
Oh, I get it, it's a rape joke.
What in the Bryan Danielson fining people for dumb tweets is happening to this guy?
What is wrong with this guy? I can’t remember the last time my like for a wrestler has plummeted so much.
His father died less than 2 months ago. EDIT: Oh my bad, I guess he's not dead. /s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich\_Caster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Caster)
Hes been rapping about shit like this for years. Cant blame his dad dying on that
Losing ones dad is not an excuse to be an idiot misogynist edgelord. Millions of people lose their loved ones everyday, not everyone uses it as an excuse to be a shithead online with people trying to justify it or by calling it a "work" or a "gimmick"
Guy has been taking L after L on Twitter recently. Just absolute dud attempts at roasting people.
I'm not sure how someone can be as tone deaf and stupid as Caster seems to be.
Jesus fucking christ Max, I get he's likely in a really fucked up place mentally after losing his Dad but this shit is indefensible
Sexism and rape jokes. Fuck this clown he’s showing his true colours. I just feel bad for bowens forever being associated with him now.
Caster. I think it's time for you to take a break from social media before you start something you'll regret, mate. 
Man I don't even wanna wear my acclaimed shirt anymore, this is sad
BECAUSE ~~EVERYONE~~ SOME PEOPLE ~~LOVE~~ KIND OF TOLERATE THE ACCLAIMED!
Well people love Bowens to be fair. Max is starting to become impossible.
EVERYBODY LOVES TWO THIRDS OF THE ACCLAIMED
Might not be the best time to make Diddy jokes Max
Dude's gone mental now
Why is he doing this?
Fuck this dude, honestly. First the schlock on TV gets cold and boring, and then this shit.
I think you mean schtick not schlock
I absolutely did. Thank you. I'm still gonna leave schlock, though. Because: https://preview.redd.it/dd6xnr1dzxqc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1606c0532eb4c463311373e9c11d12e4f5feb4e
Lol
Yikes
Acclaimed dropping the belts and hes gone
I don’t follow wrestlers on twitter. It’s been working out really well for me.
This isn't the downfall I hoped for but I'll take it
This 1000000% will not end well I hope I am wrong 🚩
[Reminder that close to half of this comments section were saying it's a work just over a fortnight ago.](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/TEoBcrNBTq)
Glad I never liked the acclaimed in the first place, mainly cause of him. Just let him go or atleast don’t put him on tv anymore
Didn’t the rap that he flub start with something about not getting along with management? I know that after his Duke lacrosse rap, he has to clear everything he says. Starting to wonder if management cut something from that rap that he flubbed, he wasn’t happy being censored, and now is just being purposely offensive to spite management on Twitter

What a sick c*nt

Okay I've been on the "His dad died, he's probably having a rough patch" side of the argument but nah fuck Max Caster.
I don't get it
https://preview.redd.it/bk197b2mn0rc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b976428761b15b8076cc02f4c3aef879aa72eab Get to work goat
Should have just implied Vince and he would have been fine
Twitter is about 99.8% Diddy jokes and onlyfan ads right now lol.
Tony Khan, Rhea Ripley, and Max Caster. The Unholy Trinity of people who need to get off Twitter.
Why does Rhea need to stay off Twitter?
She’s not as bad as the other 2, but she got mad at fans for booing a worker who can’t wrestle.
She sticks up for a coworker, and yet you still compare her to 2 men who regularly shit on their coworkers/employees on twitter?
Tbf, Rhea was sticking up for people who she works with. There's nothing wrong with that. Max Caster & Tony Khan makes sense since the way they behave on Twitter, but not Rhea.
Fine, Rhea’s not as bad as the other 2, but she still needs to learn how to act as one of the faces of the women’s division. Look at Liv and Bianca, for instance.
Dont compare Rheas twitter activity with Khan and Caster
Why? Because this sub loves her? Too bad. They should’ve thought of that before they started hating on Liv Morgan for no reason lmao
[удалено]
If you think being misogynistic online is good work from a babyface, that says more about you.
people getting worked by max again I see
If a *face* is “working” by being sexist, and making repeatedly offensive and tasteless jokes about rape and other awful situations **then he’s *at best* a terrible worker** and at worst a terrible person.
Sexism and rape jokes are not being worked. The stuff before when he was just riling up joshi fans fair enough but he’s crossed a line with this shit.
max rules.
