AEW's Buddy Matthews Posts Workout Video Featuring The "Given Up" Scream

The former Hound of Hell did not seem to want to be put out of his fucking misery.

In the new world, few vocal performances are as legendary as the 17-second-scream by Chester Bennington on Linkin Park's 2007 single "Given Up." The moment is in such rarified air that on "Heavy Is The Crown," new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong kept her scream to 16 seconds, intentionally keeping from overshadowing the late Bennington's accomplishments and legacy.

In this age of social media, the scream has become a benchmark for social media challenges, and in a recent video, fitness influence King Kreas teamed up with AEW's Buddy Matthews to hold a bicep curl for the duration of Bennington's iconic howl. As expected from the former AEW World Trios Champion, he does so with ease, as seen in the video below:

Matthews is currently training to make his in-ring return to AEW, as he was injured in a match last February in his native Australia. He has yet to return to television since, but if he's making this look easy, it may only be a matter of time before Rhea Ripley's mister terrorizes the roster once more.
