    Y'all think Orange Cassidy would've lasted 1 full hour in Verne Gagne's camp?
    You think the Young Bucks would've flippy flopped their way through Stu Hart's Dungeon?
    If Hook wasn't Tazz's son, and he showed up in the 1997 ECW Dojo, Taz and Saturn would've annihilated him for looking that stupid.
    These "5 star workers" ain't nothing. Meltzer and internet dweebs are out of their minds.

    Society has changed from those days you only need to watch interviews from the past to see how deranged and coked out of their minds those guys were! Watch the intensity of an Ultimate Warrior, Roddy Piper or Randy Savage promo compared to the lame PC snowflake promos of today like the counterfeit bucks and you get a sense of how out of their league now days guys would have been.

    Idk I've heard some absolutely horrible things done to wrestlers in the past and I don't think it was them testing people. You can still test people without being a scumbag to somebody and ruin their life. I think most of the old guard hide behind that "testing" shit to excuse them from fucking with people for no reason.
    Just look at wrestlers court, most of it was over petty bullshit and the people just wanted to fuck with someone.

    There's no comparison from the past and present. This is when the wrestling business was at the highest peak to be "mentally" tough, especially in the locker room. I respect Al Snow perspective on how the pro-wrestling business was operated. Today wrestlers, 99.9% wouldn't survive the old-school territories back in the day. 😬

    Yeah the bullying and hazing sounds cruel and unusual but it made for guys to have thick skin and to settle things like men. Not like today where shoving contests are considered “life threatening” situations.
    I enjoy watching the Young Bucks but those spots look so fake it makes a match feel more like a live action stunt show as opposed to a professional wrestling match. Man what I would give to see the Bucks take on late 80s Steiner Brothers. Would literally be a squash match.

      He was allowed to go to ECW in 1997 where he had a World Title run against Shane Douglas and it is where he ultimately created the Head gimmick.
      He worked for TNA Wrestling from 2008-2017 and now owns Ohio Valley Wrestling.
      He also owns his own wrestling academy and has written a book.
      In total, Al Snow has been in the wrestling business for 42 years and is still relevant at the age of 60.
