It’s never easy trying to explain wrestling gimmicks to those who don’t regularly watch wrestling. This has never been more true than it is with The Acclaimed, who are the current AEW Tag Team Champions. Their “scissoring” gimmick is wildly popular within wrestling circles, and it’s even got crossover mainstream appeal.
But even with the gimmick’s popularity, not everyone gets or understands it, and that includes Arn Anderson. Speaking on the most recent episode of The ARN Show podcast, Anderson admitted that he doesn’t fully understand “scissoring.”
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
Not getting the scissoring thing: “Well, I guess when Billy Gunn went on board [with The Acclaimed], all of us old bastards that had to [talk about how we didn’t get it], had to relent and just go ‘Hey, it’s working.’ I don’t know what it means. I don’t wanna know what it means, no I don’t. But if Billy Gunn, at 270 pounds of muscle, decides that it’s a cool thing, who am I to argue?”
What he thinks of The Acclaimed: “Well they’re entertaining, they’re a good team. They’re good-looking young athletes. What’s really not to like? They’re entertaining.”
