      nah, complete reddit backronym: it was only ever officially called the "Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal", people just wanted to work it into ARMBAR because of Jericho's list of 1004 holds

        I'm pretty sure WWE themselves shortened it to "ARMBAR" several times, but looking for it now you're right, I can't find a place they've done that.
