[8.0] "The Acclaimed haben mich überzeugt. Im Ring nichts überragendes, aber alles solide. Der Act lebt aber natürlich von seinem Rap beim Entrance und da hat man doch jedes Mal was zu lachen."
[5.0] "Excellent on the mic and has good charisma. At this point he's more show than go but he's still very green which quickly becomes evident in longer matches with similarly inexperienced opponents. A good hot tag but needs to drastically improve in the ring to reach the top of the card otherwise his gimmick will just fizzle out."
[8.0] "Caster is a potential star for AEW. Is good on the mic with his rap and has great charisma. In the ring he is slightly better than Bowens in the ring. Caster has more potential as a singles star for that reason in my opinion."
[8.0] "Nach wie vor mit Anthony Bowens bei AEW Mega beliebt und sehr Over. Sollte man noch weiter machen denn sie überzeugen als Faces. Auch bei der Shook Crew ist Max richtig stark. Neben dem Wrestling kann er auch rappen."
[5.0] "I never really understood this popularity of Max Caster and The Acclaimed, it's entertaining, but in the ring, I don't find them at the level of the best teams."
[7.0] "Credit where it's due: I wasn't into Caster when he first came on the scene, and I thought the rap gimmick was lame. But he's obviously worked very hard on his physique, and his wrestling skill, and it's shown. He's now perfectly respectable as a wrestler, and much better on the mic. While I think he's the less interesting member of the Acclaimed, he's also the one that's improved more in the last year. The Acclaimed are deservedly one of the the hottest tag teams in all of wrestling."
[7.0] "Very charismatic, obviously, and very motivated in the ring, although not terribly exciting (yet). He is still somewhat young and started wrestling relatively late in his life, so there is still potential to improve on that end. Right now he is riding the well-earned high as AEW Tag Team champion with his partner Bowens and I enjoy their current run, but I am also curious how he is going to add some dimension to his character in the future besides being the rap guy that pops the crowd."
[4.0] "Besides his rap promos, which I think he's been more in bad taste then actually good or interesting promo skills, he's completely average in the ring while his tag partner is much much better than him as proved by Caster's performance in his biggest match vs. Swerve in Our Glory as the 4th best man in that match while Bowens was the star of that match. On top of that he's now the 3rd most over guy in his act with Billy Gunn coming in and being the most or 2nd most over with the "Scissor Me Daddy Ass" catchphrase and taunt being arguably the main focus of the team over Caster's raps now. If Bowens gets hurt again or they split them I see Casters charm not lasting, specially if he remains a Face."
[7.0] "A good wrestler, natural born entertainer who managed to transition from intentionally annoying gimmick to something pretty monstrously over as a face with no change in gimmick, just the addition of story. Good character worker who likes to introduce extra story beats to his matchups and has a tendency to flirt with his opponents especially MJF..."
[8.0] "Wrestling wise, he's maybe like a 5 out of 10, but holy shit man, his charisma is a full on 11. I can see the Acclaimed succeeding wherever they go, assuming they stick together."
[6.0] "Dude is always a treat to watch on AEW television. He totally believes everything he says, which really makes him a good act with Bowens. He'll always be best suited in that tag team, and I whether he's a one trick pony is not yet seen, but so far, so good."
[8.0] "Wasn't sure what to make of Max Caster at first. As a hip hop head, there's always a little pain when listening to non-rappers rap. He'd never sell an album, for sure. But the rhymes are actually good and funny as hell. Usually something like this, I would personally watch/listen with bemusement as he did his thing each week. But I'll be damned, as a hip hop fan for 40 years - I enjoy the hell out of it. Rather than cringe, it's genuinely entertaining as %&$@. You get into his ring work, and he's not a modern-day spot-fest guy. And again, I've found that I kinda like that as I watch him more. I like the more old-school moveset. So good to watch in the ring, sells and hits well, good look, has good charisma, and has an entertaining gimmick. When I think back to other music-related wrestlers, Max is the one who really earns the gimmick. Hip hop is fantastic for wrestling (you can smack talk all you want), and he really needs to come up with about 4 witty lines to fill out 16 bars each week. That is achievable. Other gimmicks like rock and roll or country stars, there's no way you can come up with new, different and entertaining material each week - it's a classic bite-off-more-than-you-can-chew scenario. But Max has solved it."
[6.0] "A competent if forgettable in-ring worker, but a very entertaining character with his arrogant yet somewhat witty promos that cover political/cultural events, kayfabe storylines, and IRL backstage drama. Some of his raps have obviously been too spicy (that suspension, lmao) but he still manages to skirt the line with the various topics he covers and the way he chooses to cover them. He needs to work on his in-ring to be anyone I could take as a serious competitor either in singles or tag, but he's so good as self-absorbed heel that I can say overall that I find him quite entertaining."
[2.0] "no. in-ring is whatever. It's very obvious he isn't a rap fan, his rap persona is equivalent to a 60 year olds idea of a rapper. He's introducing an edgy anti-cancel-culture attitude since he got called out for making very distasteful jokes on-air. All of this without much self-awareness at all."
[7.0] "Very talented on the mic, great look and very charismatic. Ring work is not stand out but not bad either. Now it's sad it needs to be said but he's a person of color with progressive politics who loves Tegan and Sara and tags with an out gay man... he's not alt-right and he's not dog whistling to anyone."
[7.0] "Another Future star on AEW, and one of the most unique character in AEW right now. his in ring is okay, but his entrance is always a must see. With more polishing he can be a top tier wrestler and a big draw."
[7.0] "Max Caster is a really promising talent over at AEW. He's super charismatic, his raps are usually really well done and entertaining, and he's actually a pretty solid technician. There's nowhere to go but up for Caster."
[6.0] "Boatloads of charisma and mic skills that should carry him until his in-ring skills sync up. He's basically Cena when he was with Bull Buchanan."
[9.0] "The Tweener got it. His gimmick and shtick is genuinely so fun. Not only that, he can go go go in the ring. The Shook Crew gimmick is brilliant heat magnet that never fails to slowly turn fans around. Idk what else to say. He is awesome, please go check him out. There's a reason he recently got a try out at the E"
