7 Wrestlers Who Got Fired RIDICULOUSLY Fast

4. Max Caster (1 Day)

Max Caster debuted for TNA at Bound For Glory 2026. Max Caster was released by TNA the day after Bound For Glory 2026.

The two-sentence run of the former AEW Tag Team Champion is the sort of thing that reads like a quote-tweet dunk back when X was a fun social media experience, and ironically might do just fine as a feature in one of his raps the next time he makes an appearance anywhere of note. What it doesn't scan as is an old-fashioned "LOLTNA" fumble. This was a decision the top brass within the company felt as though they had no choice but to make. 

Keeping his Acclaimed rapper gimmick going, Caster entered for his loss to Moose verbally cutting down the TNA lifer with his usual topical shtick, going as far as to reference "bombs" and "Riyadh" during a weekend in which Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport experienced missile attacks. It got everybody's attention, drew the requisite oohs and ahhs in the building, and Caster got in the ring and had the match. All was well...ish, until TNA had their take on it the next day.

The said; "During Sunday’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view, insensitive comments were made by Max Caster referencing attacks in Riyadh that killed and injured many people. Making light of violent attacks is wrong. This should never have made it into the show, and that responsibility is ours. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone affected. We sincerely apologize. We have removed the segment from replays and our social channels and are taking steps to ensure something like this never happens again. Max Caster will no longer be wrestling for TNA."

They went one further and let him go, just 24 hours on from him walking down the aisle for the first time. The Acclaimed were at one point arguably the most over act in the industry, but any sort of rebirth for the team might now have to go on hold until this newest strain of heat dies down.
