10 Absurd Wrestling Gimmicks That Should Have BOMBED (But Didn't)

Had Anthony Bowens or Max Caster been snapped up by the world of Sports Entertainment in the years before really making themselves known as part of the All Elite roster, who would everybody be loving? Not The Acclaimed, that's for sure.

But WWE didn't sign Caster after a tryout and decided to ghost Bowens after offering him a deal, so Tony Khan opted to bring the up-and-coming stars into the AEW team as a unit instead.

Before long, Caster's jaw-dropping raps on the way to the ring and Bowens' undeniable electricity managed to catch the attention of even the most "casual" of wrasslin' fan.

But the eventual inclusion of Billy Gunn as the duo's manager/Daddy Ass took things to a whole new level that few saw coming, with the scissoring squad somehow finding a way to get that cheeky physical gesture over as much as a certain Bloodline finger point to the sky.

These outrageous lyrical disses and bouts of scissoring could've gone down like a lead balloon in the hands of performers who didn't boast the likability and charm of this group of loveable workers. But there's a reason "Everybody Loves The Acclaimed" and there's a solid chance they'll continue to do so for many more years to come.
