Al Snow's Career: He was a jobber who worked his way up the card, and finally got himself, and The Head, over
He is a Rags to Bitches story
At 54 years of age...Al Snow looks phenomenal!
ANDRE THE GIANT agreed and he’s a very good talker to boot
I met Al Snow in person at the ECW Arena. Dude is huge, built like a house
Trt does wonders
Hes a southern boy with his faters strength aint no man strong enough to bring the pain Haha
When you have the money to afford testosterone replacement therapy, which Sean alludes to in this video, it's a lot easier to look like Al looks.
Head as a playable character in WWF Attitude was strange yet effective.
One of the best minds, and performers in the business.
Shut up man honestly u fucking roaster
Speak English dipshit
Never saw Al as a jobber. He definitely put people over because he could carry a great match. He was my favorite WWE for a good stretch. Never had a boring match.
One of the greatest minds in the business, and tough as nails. When Al Snow talks, you listen.
Wasn't really a fan of Al Snow until he started teaching others about the wrestling business and it was easy to understand...His lectures and humor on the business is unparalleled, and simply the best...
I remember reading the best kept secret in wrestling story about Al Snow in the early 90s. Then I saw him the first time in Smoky Mountain and have been a fan ever since.
this man sold literally thousands of Job Squad shirts in the old days, he's done well for himself and has my respect 👏
Al is legit. Any current wrestling promotion would benefit greatly from his mind. He should get Head a deal in creative
I see what you did there
Al snow was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up. He's still one of my favorites and a great teacher as I've learned.
What's real that the person let loose on: Steve Austin was really pissed off, triple h was really clawing his way to the top, Kurt Angle really was a goofy guy that can get serious. Rvd really was a laid back zenlike dude. Eddie Guerrero and Jericho are too good for explanations.
Eddie Guerrero and Chris BENOIT are too good for explanations.
Chris JERICHO Is the GOAT! Because he continues to wrestle today at the highest level.
His ending line was awesome! Had me laughing for real...such a likable guy
not many "jobbers" appeared at several wrestlemanias
Yes I agree Al has a great mind for the business. I think he's still got a lot to offer behind the scenes.
I agree that he wasn't a jobber per say, he got his share of wins/titles and storylines, but he should be true to himself and admit that for a while he was indeed a comedy wrestler with a comedy-oriented character.
Not only that but he goes on about how Hogan and Andre was the best match at WM3. He said it was what sold the most tickets so it was what was the best match (I can say on a certain level I agree with that but on a completely realistic level he is so far off that it's almost painful). By his own logic he never had a great match.
Loved Al Snow in the ring. He is such a great guy and wrestling mind
I wasn't a comedy wrestler, I was only doing ridiculous things with my insane character and making people laugh. *Smack my head*
Have you ever seen a comedy wrestler?
@@bigroaststyrone8135 Yes... Al Snow.
If you think Al Snow is a comedy wrestler then you haven’t actually seen a comedy wrestler
@@HereForAStorm Mankind's the best comedy wrestler, but Al Snow is a close #2
Al Snow was great in ECW and the WWF. Job squad was great. Head was great. The wrestling industry is built on the shoulders of guys like Al Snow, solid workers that "get" the business.
at the end, laughing my fucking ass off as he smiles through gritted teeth
Al was great. He learned to wrestle the old way with territory days still around. Best of luck to you al & hope you get more successful. Still look in great shape. Stay safe frecçr44
Thank you for uploading this
al had one of the best and funniest gimmicks if the attitude era and was a great influence behind the scenes
his hardcore match against Head...I mean jeez that was hilarious how into it he got lol
Al Snow seem like such a nice genuine guy
He's a legend
OK. I never thought I'd hear a Stanislavski name drop during a wrestling shoot lol
The Guy Got a Mannequin Head Over ... That Should Be Hall of Fame - Worthy in It's Own Right ...
He’s a good guy. Nice man
al snow is a smartmark... that was his true gimmick
Al Snow is a dude. Enjoyed watching him wrestle, enjoy listening to his talk. Dude.
Al was so over in ECW with Head gimmick
Never knew Snow is Oliver Platt's twin brother..
0:44 haha nice jab from Sean on Al snow's obvious HGH use.
He's probably using TRT (not HGH). TRT can be obtained through a prescription and is legal. HGH is not
Subtle like the jackhammer, he is. Sheesh.
Patrick Barnes hgh can too - it has great anti-aging effects.
I don't care if he does it not - it shouldn't take anything away from his work ethic in attaining his physique.
At least he actually puts the effort into his physique and appearance - unfortunately, too many guys now look either fat or skinny (and don't look believable!)
Patrick Barnes he likely is using hgh and legal/illegal isn’t the same as right/wrong
simplyphenomenal nothing wrong with it imo. His body - his choice!
He obviously trains hard and I'm sure he's getting regular bloody/health check ups.
Live and let live :)
Welcome to the fucked up world of wrestling! This guy actually had something and just like all other industries drove him fucking crazy!
Guy looks younger as he gets older then .
Last minute is hilarious
Al's a fuckin wrestle genius
I used to help set up the ring for smokey mountain when it came into town and al snow was a dick
Legend
Head ! Head ! Head ! Head !
This was only 3 days after Snow's loss to Dirty Dick Slater in the Punjabi Kennel from Hell match at King of the Ring.... so please take his comments with a grain of salt.
To be more specific, Snow was booked to go over, but towards the end of the match, Dirty Dick Slater started throwing a series of stiff shoot punches, and some pretty snug working punches. The WWE sent Black Bart out to interfere, and Bart and Dirty Dick Slater proceeded to attack Snow with legitimate stiff shoot punches, and a TON of snug working punches.
What does everyone want
Al Snow is amazing! Check out our page for more pro wrestling interviews!
Smart guy.
It's mark tier to think "Jobber" =/= unsuccessful. Wrestling isn't real, shocking to most reading I know, it's about making money and getting known and over, Al did well at all. The man is wealthy and does whatever he would like, that's success full stop.
Umm Al, yes...yes you do.
Sorry, connotation, the fact he looks fantastic for his age.
Do you have part 1 of this interview?
Mick Foley would have something to say about this.
Al Snow Was A Little Better Than Test...
All these Al Snow fans.. where were you back in the days?lol
Cheering....u ignore that AL was over
Too young to get the joke, unfortunately. I guess it went over my... WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Who flipped the channel to Inside the Actor's Studio?
Jobbers dont win the world tag teams titles with mankind.
Rich Vos??
My favorite thing he ever did was saying Hogan and Andre was the best match at WM 3 and pissing off a bunch of moron internet "smarks"
BECAUSE IT SOLD THE MOST TICKETS lol
@@WRESTLiNGHDD which makes no sense
@@Josh-tv4rx how does that make no sense? the entire point of wrestling is to sell tickets....the best match is the match that sells the most tickets, its not that complicated
So if they done a story where hogan was injured just before the match and couldn't fight andre and somebody had to take his place then the best match would be a mtach that never even happened? The tickets have already been sold before the match starts so judging its quality by that metric makes no sense. @@zachary_attackery
@@Josh-tv4rx but you said the tickets were already sold....and they were sold because people were expecting to see Hogan vs Andre. Are you retarded?
Just dropped by to remind Al that he is in fact.................A .Jobber
Brian Taylor I mean you're you. Nothing special either...
AL?
Al Snow is definitely a jobber and his dealing with the 5 stages of grief over his career is really captured well in this video clip.
Al's biggest misconception is that Head was a real person and more so that he portrayed such legends like Shinobi and Avatar and Leif Cassidy and a Ninja
What does everybody want?
No Al you were a jobber that wasn’t a misconception. Never saw you as a main Eventer
There's a huge difference between a jobber and a successful mid-carder, you dumbass.
So, because you were on TV weekly and because you wrestled for 35-36 years, that doesn't make you a jobber? Al. Sorry, you were a jobber. I respect anyone who get in that damn ring, but you a jobber.
100 % agreed.
On every week as a jobber. Never drew a dime.
You speak for everyone? I paid to see him and The Lethal Weapon in the early 00s
Pin me
Pay me
Mekrabb hello Mike Graham's Son.
Drew more than Jeff Jarrett
If he didn't draw then Vince wouldn't keep putting him on TV. Go somewhere else with your "smart mark" bullshit.
you know how I know for sure hes a jobber.. I knew he was gonna say I wasnt jobber before he said it lol
The biggest misconception I heard was Al that you apparently tried it on with Sunny whilst she was dating Shawn
"I was not a jobber". Yes. Yes you were Al. You were a bottom of the card guy, who was a good hand in the ring so you kept getting calls to come in and do jobs. You WERE successful in the sense that you made a living in the business you love. So that's great. You weren't a big success in the business though. Mostly a curtain jerker. I love Al, but he overstates his importance to the business.
DeejofLV so tell me what YOUR definition of a “jobber” is?
Al Snow was a former European Champion, 6 time Hardcore Champion, and World Tag Team Champion. Not many real jobbers (local jobbers) can even lay claim to having a list of accomplishments in the WWE like that. At best, he might have been a jobber to the stars which is a step above.
@@Cestro The European Championship lost any merit it had the year it was created, it was a bullshit title that had no expressed worth as a status elevator, and the Hardcore championship was literally a joke championship, once again it did nothing to elevate the person holding the belt and was just a lower card booking tool in lieu of booking a story that had any storyline driven personal heat
Neither of those belts represent any upper elevation or status to the person holding them, which makes them essentially worthless
@@whtevr84 Considering the European title was once held by men like Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart and British Bulldog, it still meant something. Those three names alone make a good enough lineage for any champion to follow even if they fail to become main eventers. To say otherwise would be to piss on the legacies of the Hall of Famers I just mentioned.
Regardless, no real (local) jobber/competitor would ever win as many matches or hold the number of titles (worthless or not) as Al Snow did. Did he lose more matches than he won? Yes but to call him a jobber is a gross misuse of the word. That word gets thrown around way too much and way too easily these days. Mostly by young fans who probably didn't watch wrestling before the 2000's and the rise of John Cena. A low card roster jobber is more like Brooklyn Brawler or Jim Powers. At worst, Al Snow was more of a lower mid card wrestler on the roster in his heyday. He was still mildly successful compared to many other so called "jobbers" in the business during that time.
@@Cestro The European title had a chance to be elevated into a title that meant something after Shawn held it, but unfortunately he treated it like a joke, and the belt remained a worthless title afterwards, just look at the way the title switched hands afterwards, the matches were a joke as well as the "prestige" of being the European champion, there was no place for the belt or any importance really attached to it besides just being a belt, it was about as worthless as Jarrett's NWA championship that he was parading with in early 1998
Compare it to a real tertiary singles championship like the TV championship that was held in WCW and various NWA territories past, and the "prestige" of the Euro title can be seen for what it was, a new tertiary championship that was introduced by the WWF but was given no real thought outside of being a trophy title for Davey Boy Smith, and it was never more than that, and never treated with any seriousness...it was worthless
That's not a reflection on the real stars who happened to hold it, it just means the championship did nothing to elevate the person holding it
And I know what a jobber is in the traditional sense, why are fans from my generation so damn pretentious about their fandom? Everybody's a millenial no-nothing Cena fan except the guy throwing that claim around huh? You'll be SHOCKED to know I likely know more than you do about what you're arguing, leave the Cena card at home
Al was a jobber in all the ways that mattered at most points of his career in the big leagues, he was somewhere between Hardcore Holly and The Blue Meanie as far as for how utterly disposable he was for most of his career and what he accomplished
Not a bad worker (well according to the standards he says makes a worker great he fails), but he was never much of a star if he was a star at all, he had his moments as an entertainer, but a JTTS is still a jobber...it's part of the acronym after all....funny thing is he wasn't even worthy of jobbing to any big stars most of the time either
I love al snow but he thinks hes smarter then everyone else.
david brown He's smarter about wrestling than everybody here in the comments.
Al Snow doesn’t think he’s smarter than anyone else. He knows he’s smarter than everyone else
He literally doesnt
So, the misconception that he was nothing more than a jobber and was not successful. A guy who talks about how the only thing that matters is being well known, getting heat and making money. And then talks about how people had never heard of him until he was in ECW, even though he had been working FIFTEEN YEARS (not true but OK) before joining ECW. By his own philosophy on success, how do you work for over 15 years and nobody knows who you are? You must've not have been very successful.
The business of pro wrestling was much different when he first started back in the 80's. Kayfabe was still alive and ticking. It was the land of the giants. Guys were much bigger and larger than life with their characters. In those days, it was much harder for guys like him to break through the ceiling and gain recognition and fame for their work inside the ring and out. Al Snow only started to break through somewhat in the late 90's when kayfabe finally died and the Attitude Era took off.
Mr. Snow, do you know of any JOB offers in the field of your profession these days? I am really struggling to find a JOB, and in this day and age it is very hard to find any open JOBS. in closing Mr. Snow if you could point me in the direction of and good JOBS I would be forever in your debt good sir because I truly need a JOB.
jobber....
He's a jobbie
He was painful to watch.
Al come on dude you were a jobber but you did get big money I think the highest paid jobber in world
U obviously dont know what a jobber is
I like al but i wish he can accept today's wrestling
Today's wrestling is awful. Ratings proves it.
Al shouldn’t have to accept modern wrestling if he feels like there are issues with it. In fact it is better that he has a problem with it and voices his grievances
