Max Caster, one-half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed, recently spoke on ‘The AJ Awesome Show’ about the benefits he sees from people copying The Acclaimed’s signature scissor action.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On kids getting in trouble from doing the scissor action: “It’s great. One of the security guards at one of the arenas we were at pull me and Anthony [Bowens] aside. He goes, ‘Hey, I just want you guys to know that my cousin just got suspended from school because he was doing the scissoring.’ We go, ‘That’s exactly what we wanted.’ Kids are gonna get in trouble, but if they’re gonna get in trouble, we want it to be from scissoring.”.
On how the ‘scissoring’ brings people together: “A lot of people think the scissoring is taking over what ‘Suck it’ was back in the 90s and 2000s. I really love that, it’s more inviting. ‘Suck it’ is kind of an insult to people. Scissor is like, ‘Come here, put her there.’ It’s a sign of friendship. It brings people together. Even today, this kid was at my table, and another fan just randomly gives him a poster for me to sign. ‘Here you go, man. Merry Christmas.’ Then they scissored. But it’s that scissor that brought them together in that moment. They could have just said thanks, they could have shook hands, whatever. They scissored, and that’s making a difference in the world through wrestling, through scissoring. Imagine that. Isn’t it crazy?”
