Max Caster: I watch it back periodically, and you see the fear in my eyes

A recent match on "AEW Dynamite" between The Acclaimed, consisting of Max Caster and Anthony Bowens and The Gunn Club led to some interesting moments. Acclaimed won after shutting Austin and Colten into a dumpster and sending it flying off the entrance stage.
Caster considers that moment one of the best, but he also remembered the enormous fear he felt because doing something like that was not easy. "That was a life-changing moment for me jumping off the top of that tunnel," Caster told "PWInsider" as quoted by Wrestling Inc.
"I watch it back periodically, and you see the fear in my eyes, and when I got back to the locker room a lot of the guys were saying, 'Man, that was great, but the camera caught your face, and you said f**k just as you're about to jump”.
Max Caster on his fear
Although such things are quite normal for some more experienced wrestlers, Caster was in fear and did not know what to expect. There was a fear of heights, but even more of a jump-off. "Diving off a towering structure may seem like child's play to daredevils like Jeff Hardy and Darby Allin, but for the average pro wrestler, putting your health at risk for extreme spots isn't expected.
I walked away having done something that I was petrified of — to climb up there alone is scary, but to jump off? It's crazy." The fans were also great support for him and the reason why he decided to make such a move.
A phenomenal scene, we have to admit. "I love the fans even more because they were with me at the top of that tunnel. I'm like, 'Come on, guys, give me something, and they gave me all they had. And I felt, 'Okay, here we go,' and I jumped," Max Caster said.
