Max Caster found himself in hot water after taking a dig at gymnast Simone Biles, who withdrew from Tokyo Olympics 2020, citing mental health issues. Max Caster also touched upon the Duke Lacrosse allegations from over a decade ago, with many terming his rap as insensitive.
Speaking on Sportskeeda UnSKripted hosted by Chris Featherstone, Stevie Ray minced no words while addressing how black people in America are continually “castigated” despite their achievements.
Ray added that though Max Caster’s rap is being termed controversial, people of color face such things regularly in real life.
Stevie Ray slammed Max Caster and AEW for resorting to “cheap heat”
Stevie Ray further spoke about how he never resorted to getting “cheap heat” from fans during his Hall Of Fame career. The WCW legend also believes that Max Caster’s career could get finished after the controversy.
Ray questioned how AEW approved a rap of this nature since the company is supposedly owned by a person of color. He further explained that things need to be scrutinized before they go live on national television.
In conclusion, Stevie Ray stated that though what Max Caster did was “stupid,” there’s a possibility that it was a calculated move on the AEW star’s part.
As per the latest reports, AEW seems to have understood the gravity of the situation. Aside from pulling Max Caster from this week’s episode of AEW: Dark, the promotion has sent the star to sensitivity training for two months, akin to what Sammy Guevara underwent last year.
