Max Caster Discusses Success Of The Acclaimed, Wishes More People Would Ask How To Make Things Work

The Acclaimed are one of the most successful groups in AEW with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens previously winning AEW Tag Team gold and the duo, alongside Billy Gunn, winning AEW Trios gold. 

The reigning AEW Trios Champions have grown into their own over the last couple of years after being put together during the pandemic. 

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the Acclaimed were asked how they make things work and if others ask them for advice. 

“A little bit,” said Caster. “I wish more guys would ask, but the secret is you have to work together as business partners and become friends and then just do whatever you want. There are going to be a lot of people that tell you not to do things. For example, they told us not to do the scissoring. Eventually, we said, ‘that’s dumb. What else are we going to do?’ Once it resonated with people, we said, ‘See, look at that.’ A lot of people try to tell me what not to say in the entrances. ‘I think it’s funny, let me try it.’ They’ll bleep it or whatever, but in the moment, it works. You kind of have to go with your gut and hopefully you have a team that supports you. You never want to be teamed up with anyone that says, ‘I don’t want to do that. I think I would look silly. That’s not a good idea.’ Every idea is a good idea, just throw it at the wall and do it. The fans will appreciate how hard you work.”

The Acclaimed defended the AEW Trios titles against The Iron Savages (Bronson, Boulder, & Jacked Jameson) on AEW Collision.
