*SCISSOR ME, DADDY VLIET!* Love Bowens. He brings such a good energy to AEW, and it was great to see him and Max get so naturally liked by the crowds over time. Hope Bowens continues to find success in AEW and elsewhere. Because *EVERYONE LOVES.....THE ACCLAIMED!*
The Acclaimed once they got their feet under them they turned into must see TV. It truly is Acclaimed Every Week. He's such a well-spoken guest with such a great story. Thank you Chris for making the video. It's great to get to know them Anthony is awesome! Gotta say it Scissor me Daddy Ass!! Best catch phrase in recent times.
Scissor me Daddy is definitely the new suck it! It wouldn't have necessarily worked the same without Billy Gunn in the mix. These dudes are over the fricken moon right now!
Great interview as usual. I love that Anthony is also a big Toy Collector. He has been on quite a few of Ethan Page's toy hunt videos. I always look forward to seeing Anthony on those. Take care.
Chris is the only guy I can think of that no matter how respectful and complimentary he can be, I’ve never sensed any type of “fake niceness” , “overly nice” vibes coming from him at all. Dude is just a class act
Great interview, saw him at the Arnold classic way back and knew about his wwe tryout but what a journey to this point, so much more to come and i can't wait to see it unfold, cracking interview
When Anthony debuted, I was trying to rack my brain, you know when you recognise someone, but can't place them...then my husband said "isn't that the guy from the 90 day parodies you love" & I was like "OMG...HE MADE IT!!" Michael & Anthony got me through a lot and now Max & Anthony as The Acclaimed have just elevated my happiness 😊
Speaking of him, he hasn't done anything in the business for years but Tony bringing him in for a one off appearance or match with the acclaimed and Daddy Ass would be cool.
@Goodb0b no he hasn't done anything in wrestling since his last match. His last match was January 8th 2012 for FSW (a Vegas based indie), his interview with SRS a year or two ago is only wrestling related thing he's done since essentially retired.
Massive fan of Bowens. A special talent and a singles main eventer if TK is smart. This dude could be world champ someday easy. Need him back on Ethan's toy hunts asap though.
Man I know you may get tired of seeing this comment but I remember seeing on TV here in Cleveland and thinking man this is my kind of reporter and then to see your career sky rocket. I always Think of you when I see superman it reminded me of meeting you at the Fair and you had that superman shirt I was such an awkward dude (still am) and I just remember being so mad I didn't get a picture haha look forward to seeing your career take you more places
Met the acclaimed last week in AEW dynamite before the show… awesome dudes and got scissored by them 3 times during the show ! Lol bowens scissored me at first and I have I recorded it lol
Anthony and Max are a mix between the Hart Foundation (Bret and the late Jim the Anvil Neidhart) and New Age Outlaws. It's fun, it's creative, the fans love (we) love them. Max comes with some awesome rap lines, but I love Anthony's reaction to what he says, 😂😂🤣 they literally feed from each others vibes. I think they should go for the Trios Belt. Chuck Palumbo could be a manager. #ChuckPalumbo
I know pro wrestlers amp it up in front of a crowd, but it always throws me for a loop when you have a wrestler with a big, bombastic voice in front of the crowd, but sounds completely different and is so quiet when not in-character. If I started listening to the audio for this halfway through and didn't look at the video, I probably wouldn't recognize the voice as Anthony Bowens. Anyway, love Bowens, love the Acclaimed, thought this was a great interview.
These guys are so over its ridiculous and the stuff they bring in is so fun and silly and I am all here for it, love what them and Billy Gunn are awesome, looking to buy myself a scissor me daddy ass t-shirt soon Now scissor me ✂️✂️✂️
Hello Chris!!! Whoa, very cool but from the side view of your opening first words preview with Anthony you reminded me of Elvis!! Very cool!!! Rock on, CVV!!
I’ll admit when I first saw The Acclaimed I thought they would be nothin more than jus a jobber team. Then I kept seeing them every week and they grew on me also Max’s raps got better each time. I became a fan of these guys and genuinely happy of their success. Now SCISSOR ME DADDY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂✂️ ✂️
When he talks about Darren Young coming out, did Bowens expect WWE to push Young for coming out? Make him an ambassador? I get maybe it'd get him more screentime but it's already iffy when companies parade any gay people to make them look good.
Anthony is a really interesting and charismatic person. What he has accomplished is amazing. He is really the first openly gay male wrestler in major company to hold a championship, and to also become one of the more popular acts in AEW is really inspiring. His accomplishments prove that sexuality is no longer an obstacle to success in professional wrestling for a male wrestler. He has broken through a barrier that will hopefully prevent someone from having to experience what Fred Rosser did in WWE again. I remember when he first began appearing on Dark. I had never seen him before and knew nothing about him, but I saw something in him then, and obviously Tony did too. I am so happy that everything is working out for him, and I wish him continued success.
I wasn't a big fan of acclaimed when they first came in. I found there scissoring gimmick a bit crass. Then one day I saw bowens have a match against Bryan Danielson on rampage and from that moment I was sold
