In an interview with Variety, AEW president Tony Khan commented on National Scissoring Day and The Acclaimed’s success. He encouraged people to scissor at school and at work. He noted that it’s a great way to greet people.
“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,” Khan said. “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.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Dynamite as it airs on Wednesday.
