All Elite Wrestling is celebrating like only a lesbian can.
As a part of this week's Wednesday night wrestling event Dynamite, AEW is celebrating "National Scissoring Day."
"Just to let you know... #NationalScissoringDay is already TRENDING," out wrestler Anthony Bowens wrote on his Twitter. And across the country, sapphic's ears perked up.
\u201cJust to let you know\u2026\n\n#NationalScissoringDay is already TRENDING! #AEWDynamite @AEW\u201d— Anthony Bowens (@Anthony Bowens) 1664990882
So, what does "scissoring" mean (you know, when we're not talking about lesbian sex)?
Bowens, along with his tag teammates on The Acclaimed, Max Caster and manager Billy Gunn (a.k.a. Daddy A$$) came up with an increasingly popular hand gesture and catchphrase where they shout "Scissor me, Daddy Ass!" and Daddy A$$ climbs into the ring making a scissor shape with his two fingers and interlocks them with the wrestlers also making the gesture with their hands.
\u201cFor non-wrestling fans, context: #NationalScissoringDay\u201d— Chris is Tired\ud83c\udf19 (@Chris is Tired\ud83c\udf19) 1664986460
The move has gotten so popular, fans will bring signs to matches with the catchphrase and even chant it in unison.
\u201cUh oh, guess what day it is? \n\nIt's NATIONAL SCISSORING DAY on #AEWDynamite \u2702\ufe0f\u201d— AEW on TV (@AEW on TV) 1664980814
AEW's company leader Tony Khan has nothing but praise for The Acclaimed and their scissoring.
"They found ways to connect with the audience, but also to have great matches, and you have to be able to do both to be a truly top wrestler," he said to Variety. "Scissoring is something that really connects to the fans. So I think all this week and especially around Wednesday, and maybe the continuing into Thursday at school the next day, there's going to be people scissoring at school, at work and in the audience at AEW, and there's nothing wrong with it. It's a great way to greet somebody."
If you want to be a part of National Scissoring Day, you can even order a "Scissor me Daddy A$$" t-shirt! Who wouldn't want to walk down the street wearing this tee? It's even a best-seller this year. Wrestling fans can't get enough of scissoring!
\u201cBREAKING NEWS: It\u2019s official! It has only been a month & the \u201cScissor Me, Daddy Ass\u201d tee is officially the NUMBER 1 SELLING shirt of 2022! \n\nEVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED \n\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\u2702\ufe0f\n\n#NationalScissoringDay @AEW \n\nGet your\u2019s now! https://t.co/AfoQiSCjqY\u201d— Anthony Bowens (@Anthony Bowens) 1664992923
