The Acclaimed (Max Caster & Anthony Bowens) have become one of the top teams in AEW through their in-ring ability and crowd connection.
The duo will often make the "A" with their fingers to represent the Acclaimed and have turned that into a connection of their own by scissoring with their fingers.
Speaking to Brandon Walker on Rasslin, The Acclaimed discussed how they started scissoring.
"That came along when we got together. A lot of the stuff we did just kind of happened through pure happenstance. Caster is very unpredictable sometimes, the next thing you know, he s scissoring me, he's milking my fingers. 'Oh, okay.' Next thing you know, after a month or so of scissoring, I'm laying on the floor, I look up, and I see all these hands coming over the barricade yelling, 'Bowens, scissor me!' 'Ah, we might be onto something.' Between that, 'Everyone Loves The Acclaimed,' all these things started coming together little by little," said Bowens. "We scissored a couple thousand fans during Revolution Fan Fest weekend."
Caster added, "That was very surprising. When we meet fans, it's hard for me to say, 'Hey, would you like to scissor?' I'll never say that because it's a weird thing to ask, but fans are no coming up to us, with the fingers out, 'can we scissor?' Three-way scissor, four-way scissor, five-way scissor, we're scissoring all kinds of ways."
Elsewhere during the interview, Caster discussed putting together his pre-match raps. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
