AEW Star Discusses Working With WWE Hall Of Famer

AEW

An AEW star has discussed working with a WWE Hall of Famer.

Anthony Bowens and Max Caster of The Acclaimed have caught fire and rose the ranks to become AEW World Tag Team Champions by defeating Swerve In Our Glory at Dynamite Grand Slam in September.

The Acclaimed truly seemed to reach new heights of their popularity when they aligned with WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn.

Speaking to The Athletic, Anthony Bowens discussed what it’s been like working with Billy Gunn.

He said:

“It’s been huge. He was part of one of the best tag teams in professional wrestling back in the day. So much knowledge, so smart. To be able to pick his brain and figure out a strategy for how we’re going to attack our opponents. He’s been an absolutely incredible resource, and he’s a legend. You can tell how much fun he’s having, and it’s fun to see.”

The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn recently celebrated National Scissoring Day on the October 5 edition of AEW Dynamite with their 3 Year Anniversary.

When asked if he thought scissoring would become as big as it has, Anthony Bowens answered:

“Truthfully, no. We had no idea. We were originally asked to not do it at a point, but for whatever reason, we just started doing it again. There was this one time I was on the floor, and I looked up and fans — all of them — had their hands out with the scissor gesture yelling for me to scissor them. So, we knew we had something after that. I think it’s turned into the biggest thing in professional wrestling right now. People can’t get enough of the scissoring. We’ll do meet-and-greets and other stuff, and for hours, every single person will come up and say, ‘Can we scissor you?’ It’s fantastic.”

Anthony Bowens and Max Caster will be in the corner of “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn when he goes one-on-one with Swerve Strickland on the October 12 edition of AEW Dynamite.
