Anthony Bowens expands on the virtues of scissoring as the ultimate sign of friendship.
The Acclaimed's Anthony Bowens and Max Caster have taken over the world with the scissoring hand gesture they use to signify their close relationship with each other, wrestling fans, and "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn.
During a recent interview with Simon Miller of WhatCulture, Bowens reflected on the connection he and Max share with the All Elite Wrestling fanbase, their meteoric rise, and the importance of scissoring.
"I still haven't really processed it. Stepping back from crazy Anthony Bowens right now, truly, I haven’t processed it. I’m just grateful and thankful that we’ve been able to build a connection with the audience to the point where they go crazy, and all everybody wants to do, anywhere I go, is scissor. Everybody wants to scissor. That personal connection means even more to us than just being able to go out there and wrestle because we can wrestle anywhere. We wrestled on the Indies for ten years in front of everybody - well, some people, but then you get to this magnitude, and you see how you're affecting people positively. It's incredible," he said.
Speaking about the act of scissoring in general, Bowens encourages fans to not look at Urban Dictionary and just accept scissoring as a sign of friendship and scissor with everybody you know and love, including grandma.
"Don’t ever look at Urban Dictionary. Scissoring is solely a sign of friendship. You can do it with your mom, your dad, your grandma, your brother, and your friend. Scissor everybody that you can and let them know that you are a true friend and that you love The Acclaimed," he said with a laugh.
In the past, Max Caster has endorsed the idea of people scissoring to come together. Truly a great place to express friendship.
Elsewhere throughout his career, Bowens has discussed making an impact as a representative of the LGBTQ community. Read his thoughts on that matter here.
