When people say that a match should tell a story, this is what they're talking about. I was as invested in Al's story about the match as I would have been in seeing it in person.
God i really got invested in the match that a dude just narrated, seems to me that knowing how to wrestle still works
I just had to let you know, I had the same experience, while watching and listening to Al Snow. I also have an opinion on something, please let me know if I could be right, or way out in left field. I believe the WWE wanted to extend Al's last contract, and keep him part of the company, because of what his talent's bring to the table. The reason why I think he turned down his next contract was because, the WWE has a reputation for low balling people. Basically, they would offer them a contract, that was even longer than the last one, however, they then offer less money per year. Snow is one of the few wrestlers that knows, they can make more money, working less on the independent circuit. By the fact he believed he had worked long enough in the WWE, that his brand had become well enough known, to continue with his career, without the need of the WWE machine. Thanks for taking the time to read this, I didn't mean to make it such a long comment.
Rosario Verano Well, it's all about Skills and the Mental Game.
You mean knowing how to work still works.
Same here! I was rooting for Dewey too! 😂
Idk how I found this video but hearing that story being told had me more emotionally invested in a professional wrestling match than I've been watching matches for the past 15 years.
Damn by the end of that story I was cheering for Dewey and I don't even know what he looks like.
i hope to go there is footage of any of what he told
Brings a whole new meaning to “CANE DEWEY”
@@miamimagicians yep. There are Dewey Brown matches on youtube. He's the best worker in each match.
@@hobbitbobbitt i didnt expect him to look like that
Look up the goonies
Every kid wanting to get into, or who are early in their careers, need to watch these videos. This is gold. Invaluable wisdom.
Slug Jones 24k
Slug Jones I know right!! I'm not even a wrestler and I love watching these lol
Gilbert Smith Very well said. These are a lot of principles for businesses of all kinds.
Wow, this was the best tag team story I've ever heard. It sounded incredible, Al Snow is such a great story teller.
Al Snow: What's the gimmick of a Tag Match?
Me: Theodore Long!

😂😂😂😂
TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA! HOLLA HOLLA!
@@ikill4klondikebars WITUH DA UNDERTAKER
Holla holla
Coming back to this video two years later because it's just that fucking good. I love the juxtaposition of the bits about Dewey and the bits about the Tattoo - how Al says at the end "Do you want to know what the tattoo looked like?" when most of the class probably forgot all about it, because Dewey sold the match so well.
I'd pay money to see that Dewey match
I want to find this match damnit!!!! It sounds awesome!!!
Dewey doesn't like to lose! That's for sure.
Dewey is the GOAT, probably the one guy everyone can agree to have a spot on their pro-wrestling Mount Rushmore. For me it is Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold, and Dewey.
I'm not a wrestler but i'd still pay to go to one of those talks. Al is the man.
also sounds like dewey went into business for himself
If he did, he did the other team a favor and got them over as heels
Maybe he ain't as dumb as everybody thinks.
@@broombroomstickempahpahsti4441 Clever.
Retarded hulk Hogan
In my 20s and 30s, I was a very strong, very athletic guy. I watched wrestling from an early age, and had always wondered how you could break in. I worked my ass off in warehouse and factory jobs, and beat the Hell out of my body. I didn't know anything about wrestling schools, and eventually I stopped thinking about it. Had I had access to videos like this, and heard these stories and had seen guys like Al Snow teach this business, I definitely wouldve pursued this. *Shrugs*
I’m training to do I’m 40
@@Phoneybeetlemaniacxs, best of luck! I'm 50 now, with sciatica and other issues. It passed me by, long ago.
Jesus al snow can tell a story , I want to see that match now lol. Awesome stuff
How many people want to actually see this match now? Snow is fantastic telling these stories.
This story of a tag match made me much more excited than Wrestlemania Tag Title Matches these days.
“It was a god damn home appliance on the man’s side”
The man is just very proud of his washing machine.😂
So dude actually had a real pro wrestling match! hahah "it's still real to me!"
Al tells stories very well, the swearing mixed in is like listening to a bunch of guys hanging out in the garage telling a story
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your brand new tag team champions...Dewey and The Desk!!"
that sounds like the name of a bad 80s band.
As soon as Al said he was legit special I started picturing a real life Eugene in the match.
Sounds like a real life Eugene!!
It wouldn't surprise me, Eugene trained in OVW as well, he prob got the idea there
This is one of my favorite Al Snow stories. I wanna see El Escritorio show off his tattoos now
SO glad Dewey got the win for his team! I was on the edge of my seat listening to Al Snow tell this story lol
El Escritorio (the Desk) should form a tag team with a wrestler named El Grapadora (The Stapler).
That was one of the best stories I have ever heard ! I would have paid good money to watch Dewy!
A Tag match has such a simple formula that hasn't changed in 60 years, yet it still works and gets the crowd to pop. Enzo and Cass are over right now because they center their entire match around the hot tag and tease the heat perfectly
what? lol no
they got over because of mic skills
SmithCommaBenjamin AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNDDDD it's over. 🤦🏿♂️😞
Why the hell wasn't Al Snow allowed to be himself in WWE? This gimmick of telling wrestling stories would be so over, I would tune in every week to here a new one.
paul coy I agree it could work as a heel. He could come in to criticize matches esp the very gimmicky ones and form a very old school stable
Now that the rings are empty, Al Snow could do segments like this into a storyline and be incredible!
@@RobwLPOC Well, I am a huge mark, so I would watch.
Dewey's fucking won those belts and I wont hear otherwise. Normally you dont really win belts, dewey shoot fought two guys, got over like crazy, and pinned someone who wasnt planning on being pinned 15 minuets ago. He won the belts.
Love this story don't know how many times I listened to it. I'ma Dewy fan and never seen him wrestle.
You and me both.
Dewey then went on to become Roman Reigns
Nah Dewey sounds like a far better wrestler.
RowdyRodimus should've stayed dewy 😂😂
But Dewey got over so he can't be Roman Reigns.
leave dewey alone
Dewey could never be a jobber that kid doesn't like to lose!!
These videos make me wish I could work a match just once. Or better yet be a heel manager
The dewey story is the most amazing fckinh story I've ever heard in my life. I love it.
Amazing story but honestly, if you try to get over by going into business for yourself like that it's gonna kill your career.
Unless it really was a work in which case amazing
@@1krani Yeah realistically, in the wild situation they were in, the heel who had the figure four on should have kept holding it, get DQ'd, and then they'd have an angle going forward for a rematch. Dewey and Washing Machine Tattoo could have called out the heel champs as cowards for getting themselves disqualified because Dewey was beating their asses, and that the heels were doing everything they could to hurt Dewey so he couldn't be at full for a rematch. So now you have a babyface team that's been wronged, one half of whom was MEGA over by that point, with an uphill battle, fighting for what they should have won the first time.
The point is that it was basically a shoot and it got over because of the psychology. You don't have to go on business for yourself if you do the same thing but as a work. Ring psychology is based on what would happen in a shoot.
Man can he tell a story. I could picture the whole thing and was almost cheering do dewey lol
I could watch Al Snow talk about anything wrestling related all day, every day
As Al told that story, I could picture it in my head perfectly
I could listen to Al Snow all day
This is one of the best stories ever told.
That was one of the greatest funniest stories ive ever heard and although i dont know who this dewey guy is,im now a huge fan lol
having a hard time drinking my coffee, keep ALMOST shooting fire hot coffee out of my nose several times
Since he's a desk it only makes sense. kinda like a human getting a naked pixie or something.
Clever.
Al is a motherfucking genius.
I love listening to Al Snow talk.
And Al Snow helped him celebrate. What a cool guy.
Favorite al snow quote... “what’s that?”
Man, I would think Mick would have taught Dewey better.
I need to see this match !
al snow has a simple answer for literally everything
It looks like the reason that, Dewey got over as a Face is because the Heels actually tried to win. Dewey just didn't know that the Heels were supposed to win, so he didn't let them.
I love Al. I really miss Tully and Arn v Midnight Express.
I am proud of my desk now !
Al Snow is an excellent storyteller...
Al Snow spins quite the yarn. That Dewey story was fascinating
I always just love the way Al talks to his students like we talk on the phone. I swear if there was a fucking fridge in that ring, he'd be sitting backwards on it while still talking 😂
Interesting how jacked Al Snow has gotten over the last few years versus his whole career
No one tells a wrestling story like Al Snow does.
He asked what the crowd did after the hot tag and they thought they booed? None of these kids should wrestle if they don't know the automatic reaction of a good hot tag is a pop.
The only reason that would make sense at all in some strange way is cuz if the fans were so into watching Dewey that they didn't want to see the other guy in the ring.
To be fair though, that match is probably better experienced spoken by Snow than actual watched live at the time... But there's so much truth in it.
Just a note... Worked for Sony, we had a customer that loved Sony stuff so much.. and Kodak products... he was legally named Sony Kodak Cat
You know what has to happen with that tattoo, right? He implements in some way, then hits the guy with a clothesline.
Wow! This was great. I would love to see that match. Who is Dewey?
The greatest story ever told
These are more juicier and interesting and fun to watch than the actual wwe matches these days
This is the greatest story of all time.
Al: What do you think he had tattoed under his arm?
Guy in Crowd: Its not a desk is it?
That part made me burst out laughing
I really thought it would be a desk as well.
Al tee'd that one up for someone to say lol hes probably told that story a few times before.
was that tag match recorded and uploaded? would've loved to see how crazy that was.
Yeah, I would love to see this!🤔👍
15:00
What a legend 🤣
I need to know if the next week did dewy defend his belt
I am working in my garden right now. Its a beautiful saturday afternoon here in texas. Since i enjoy listening to these wrestling videos while i work in my garden, does this make me a "MARK" to wrestling??
@THE HANNIBAL TV I've been looking all over the internet for this match. You have to ask Al Snow if he has this video.
Anyone know if this match he is talking about is filmed and online somewhere?!
Dewey is a fucking legend.
LOL! "Dewey went Ralphie (from A Christmas Story) on him."
Inagibe how sick it would be to see video of that.. sicker still to see it live.
this dewey story made me realize why everybody loves wrestling it is real life being played out in the ring
Dewey: every man has 2 hands that give him a fighting chance.
I'm over here thinking he was talking about an Italian guy named Ellis Scatorio, until he mentioned he was a Luchador named El Escritorio! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tought he was saying Alex Kriterio jajajajajjaa
Dewey! Dewey!
somebody needs to put the hurt on that air-conditioner fan in the background lol
+Russ Fleming lol
+Russ Fleming relax you fucking piece of shit he didn't even say anything wrong! He wasn't attacking anyone and he didn't criticise the Al Snow Or Canada or The UA-cam channel get out of your mums basement fucking grow up little boy. God sake you have serious problems
+Random Assault Podcast I got you man don't worry 👍
That's ok, I probably should apologize, I didn't realize he had installed that air conditioner himself and he's just really sensitive about it :P lol
Random Assault Podcast He's a fucking weirdo don't worry about it
im only 2:18 in this story just got GOOD!
Man, halfway through the story when he talks about the hot tag and he goes "what do you think the crowd does?" "boos" are you fucking kidding me? He sets up the story of the hot tag and these guys are like "dunno they probably got pissed" these guys should at least watch wrestling if they want to be in the business
I'm dick for saying this but somehow I'm picturing Timmy from South Park 😖🤣
Dewey went into business for himself. Anyone else dare do this and they will get shat on.....
Keen to watch this match though
Fucking amazing. Al's lookin' real good, too. Dude's aging in reverse.
God almighty we need tape of the Dewey & the Table match!!!
Al's comments on the hot tag is so true. Listen to him. Then go watch a Midnight Express with Jim Cornette match. You'll see it in action.
What if Al Snow got worked?
Best story so far.
The desk. Popped huge for that
That was the greatest story I have ever heard
How can a bunch of wrestling trainees not understand a hot tag? They thought the crowd would boo..
"A home appliance." hahaha!
It sounds like he's saying Ellis Graterio when 'the desk' in Spanish is 'el escritorio'
I thought his name was Ellos Criterio or something like that. It hit me like a classic joke when he said desk: el escritorio
love al snow but why is he walking like he got legs like ronny coleman and razorblades under his arms ?
Damn that's a great story! Pretty good formula on how to get over just refuse to get pinned! Lol
Love watching these, but gotta have captions.
Love this story a lot... And it was amazing... But couldn't the ref just call a DQ with the figure four
The dewey story reminds me of doofy from scary movie
How the hell is Al Snow so fucking buff?!? Jesus....
The wasn't a wellness policy when he was wrestling for the WWE. It was implemented in early 2006, shortly after the death of Eddie Guerrero.
1:00 my answer would have started with addressing his presumptuous that that is what I'm doing in a tag match
Dammit! I watched this whole thing and the other ones also never intending to.
What an absolute deity of a story. I'm so glad I clicked this video.
Please, for the love of fucking god, somebody link me to that Dewey match. I need to see this shit.
