Max Custer’s rap during his TNA Wrestling debut ultimately led to his firing, and AEW’s Jeff Jarrett discussed the incident, highlighting what was most disheartening about it.
Jarrett spoke extensively on the subject on him”My world” podcast, and he believes Custer should have immediately taken to social media to apologize, which the former AEW star eventually did. The WWE Hall of Famer highlighted how politics and religion are two topics he would not touch on because they are personal topics.
“It’s been at least 24 hours, and you know what’s the biggest disheartening thing for me today, and look, I don’t know, Conrad, I’m so far outside, and I’m looking in, but obviously Max said it and I saw the TNA announcement. You own it, I mean take responsibility for it. “We go out of our way (not to talk) and rightly so, because politics and religion are very personal things that alienate your audience. There is no upside. None. I hate it, man. I hate it for TNA. I hate it for Max. I hate it for the business because people talk about it as opposed to the event, god, I don’t even match.
Custer eventually apologized to fans and TNA for the controversial rap, and a few days later announced that he would take a break from pro wrestling for a bit.
Many believed that Custer’s departure from TNA was due to WWE’s partnership with Saudi Arabia, given the strong ties between WWE and TNA, but reports indicate that WWE has stayed away from the matterclaiming that it could have no say in its exit.
