In a fun chat on The AJ Awesome Show, AEW World Tag Team Champion ‘Platinum’ Max Caster was asked about his inspirations as a wrestler. Caster mentioned 16-time World Champion John Cena, stating that Cena was his inspiration growing up. He also noted how Cena sometimes reaches out to him and encourages him.
“John Cena is a huge inspiration. I’ve never met him, but he reaches out to me from time to time. He’s been very, very nice, and for my hero as a teenager to reach out to me and, in the midst of people saying, ‘Oh, you’re a Cena rip-off, you’re just doing something that’s old, we don’t want to see this in wrestling now,’ for him to reach out and say, ‘You’re doing it the right way,’ sometimes he says I do it better than he did, it’s his opinion. I don’t know if I wanna agree with that, but I believe in myself, 100%, and his confidence in me only boosts me up. I don’t know if he knows how much that means, but it means a lot. So he’s my inspiration back then and now still,” said Caster.
Max Caster and Anthony Bowens will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal on tonight’s episode of Dynamite.
