“Scissor me, Daddy Ass!”
Those are the words uttered by Anthony Bowens nearly every week on All Elite Wrestling television on TBS and TNT.
During a recent appearance on the Nerds & Beyond program, The Acclaimed tag-team star from AEW spoke about the LGBTQ+ representation in the pro wrestling industry.
“I think companies should be working towards better,” Bowens said. “For me, I’d want to present it the right way, considering how things were presented in the past which was presented terribly. So I’m actively trying to figure out what would be a good story to tell; what would be the right way to go. Because, again, if we are going to do it the right way, we’ve got to make sure that we are doing it the right way.”
Bowens also states that any story of that nature will be put under a microscope to see how it plays out, adding that there really hasn’t been any great examples of it working in the past.
“It will be under a microscope because people want to see how this goes, how it plays out, how the story’s written,” he said. “So there’s a delicacy to it too. It hasn’t really been done correctly before. So that’s something that I would like to probably do in the future.”
