Anthony Bowens Reveals Where The Idea For The Acclaimed And Ass Boys Teaming Up Came From In AEW

“Scissor me Daddy Ass!!!”

The Acclaimed as a tag team are incredibly likeable pair. Both are solid promos, as Max tends to freestyle on his opponents during his entrance. One thing that has been a fixture of their team as of late has been scissoring with two guys fingers. For many, it is a harmful innuendo but there are those who aren’t fans of it. But we have not had an explanation of where it’s come from, until now.

Bowens did just that in an appearance on “Talk is Jericho” this past Friday, on Canada Day.

“Actually, that was us,” Bowens said. “Everything that we’ve been doing is us. We saw the chemistry that we had together, in terms of just talking and hanging around each other at the arena, and we figured it was an opportunity to really blend it together. We brought the idea to Tony, he gave us the thumbs up, which I think is one of the coolest things about being here. We have a boss who trusts us but also knows when to put his foot down when it’s getting a little bit crazy. But he trusts us to put together the pre-tapes that we’re doing every single week, whether we’re doing it on Dynamite or doing [Dark and Dark: Elevation] … He trusts us with that.”

Bowens recently revealed he is no longer in need of a wheelchair as a miracle occurred on last week’s Dynamite. Billy Gunn would align with The Acclaimed following a split of the Ass Boys from Caster and Bowens.
