10 AEW Wrestlers Who Are Almost Unrecognisable Since Debuting
9. Max Caster
'Platinum' Max Caster landed in All Elite Wrestling looking like the man that would go on to win the hearts of the masses and Tag Team Champions, but but the shiny pink and silver aesthetic and a microphone in his hand was only ever half the story.
Pairing Caster with Anthony Bowens was a Tony Khan masterstroke made all the more awesome by the wrestlers themselves, but the former was always going to struggle beforehand after starting life alongside Luther and Serpentico.
Perhaps it was done to highlight exactly how odd it all looked, and the trio were marching to their doom against Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy and Marko Stunt on the June 11th 2020 edition of AEW Dark anyway. But nonetheless, alongside the perennial YouTube defeat artists, Caster couldn't have felt more like a cartoonish caricature with a gimmick rather than a pro wrestler that just happened to a music-adjacent character trait.
Typically, one can sell t-shirts and the other sells tickets. The Acclaimed mastered both.
