Summary
TNA said Monday it has cut ties with Max Caster, removed his Bound for Glory segment from replays and deleted related social posts after his debut appearance.
Caster drew backlash for a rap lyric referencing the Riyadh airport attack — “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh” — during his entrance before a match against Moose.
TNA said the comments made light of violence that killed and injured many people, apologized to victims and families, and said the line should never have made it into the show.
The remark referred to the Oct. 8 strike on King Khalid International Airport, which Houthi forces claimed and which left more than a dozen dead, heightening regional tensions.
