Guest TheSmarkzone Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Gotta agree with Mick Foley on this one. The best of Al Snow? There is no such thing! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kid Kablam Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Gotta agree with Mick Foley on this one. The best of Al Snow? There is no such thing! Ha, ha, ha, ha! I dunno about that one. I watched a match he had with Benoit, and I thought he did a pretty damn good job. True, Benoit can carry anyone, but still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Gotta agree with Mick Foley on this one. The best of Al Snow? There is no such thing! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh come on now, Al Snow is a Decent to good wrestler. Just put through alot of character roles. Kinda silly to just say oh because Mic Foley says so guess that means he had no good matches, I just named four myself. If you can't think of any just say so.

Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted July 1, 2002 The one of the RF Video Best of Chris Benoit tape. That rules. Benoit kills poor Al. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted July 1, 2002 there was a match on Metal or Shotgun or whatever show that was on Saturday night at the time had Snow vs Saturn for the European title that ruled. Al Snow vs Jerry Lawler and Brian Christopher angle was funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolverine Report post Posted July 1, 2002 That match vs. Benoit isn't that great IMO. Too much of a one-sided squash. Very overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted July 1, 2002 He also had some good matches with Hardcore Holly when the title first started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kid Kablam Report post Posted July 1, 2002 That match vs. Benoit isn't that great IMO. Too much of a one-sided squash. Very overrated. It was a squash, but I'm saying that I felt that Al Snow is a good worker. I guess I don't have a match to put down cause Al's been stuck in a lot of bad gimmicks and stuff, but I think that he had talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SuperTonyJaymz Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Al vs. Holy, the hardcore match were they go into the river I donno..no other match is really in my head Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest meanmaisch Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Al is a decent worker, but his matches really never break out of the two and a half star range. I must say that he has looked his age lately. I don't know how much he has left in him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Lots of good Snow matches I can think of on the indy circuit in 1994. A series against Sabu with one memorable ladder match in Cali (8/94?), a lumberjack match, and one other match. Another Benoit match they built off of in ECW using Snow as more of an underdog. A match with Jannety at the SMW Superbowl of wrestling in 1994. In fact, he did some good work in SMW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Al's only match as "Shinobi' was pretty good, but he was wrestling HBK~! Al Snow was pretty damn good before age and bitterness set in. From the little indy and ECW and SMW footage of him I've seen he was a very good talker and a good worker, it's too bad he didn't have the body to get him a upper card push in WWF or WCW.

Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Anyone else remember Al Snow's hardcore match against himself on raw a few years ago? That gets my vote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted July 1, 2002 al snow vs. hardcore holly form backlash 99 gets my vote. it was the one where he finally got the title but head got the pin and he was pissed about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slingshot Suplex Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Snow's best stuff is before he came to the WWF and bulked up.The above mentioned Sabu indy matches,his Smoky Mountain feud teaming with Unabomb against the Rock n Roll Express (Snow is a terrific heel in SMW) The match with he and Benoit at Double Tables is the match that hooked me into ECW.

Guest papacita Report post Posted July 1, 2002 I've heard great stories about the Snow/Sabu matches, but I really didn't start watching ECW on a regular basis until the fall of 95, so I never saw one. As for his best matches, my favorite was when he beat Hardcore for the title because with the exception Chyna and maybe Jericho in late 99/early 2000, that was the last time I can remember seeing a wrestler actively pursue a secondary title (Al was fighting all year for that thing). I also liked the match he had w/ Shawn Michaels as Leif Cassidy on Raw (have the Shinobi match on tape, but I've only watched it once or twice, and don't remember much about it), his pre-Head ECW match with Shane Douglas in late-97, and that's all I can really think of. And yeah, his ECW entrance was cool as hell. One of the best ever IMO. Had the WWF gotten the rights to the Prodigy song and given him the lighting/camera treatment he got in ECW, he would've gotten over a little better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted July 1, 2002 My favorite Hardcore match for a good long time: Al Snow v.s. Road Dogg on an episode of Raw, when they fought in the snow. That to me established Road Dogg as less of a joke and a good Hardcore champ in my opinion. Also, I mark for Al v.s the 4 midgets on Sunday Night Heat, b/c that was the funniest damn match ever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Superstar Report post Posted July 1, 2002 Al Snow vs. Head. That match was Hardcore personified. But seriously, I really enjoyed the Snow/Dogg HC Title match. I think that was the same show Foley won the title. I still remember Road Dogg's piledriver on the crates outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 1, 2002 No, the ogg/Snow match was in early February. After the match, Viscera atacked Al Snow at the Acolytes beat the shit out of Dogg. The Brood was then revealed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Superstar Report post Posted July 1, 2002 No, the Dogg/Snow match was in early February. After the match, Viscera atacked Al Snow at the Acolytes beat the shit out of Dogg. The Brood was then revealed. Oh yeah, because Snow wanted a Hardcore 2/3 Falls match with Dogg for St. Valentines Day Massacre but Dogg got busted for drugs or something so they had to go with Holly/Snow while Dogg was in rehab.

Had the WWF gotten the rights to the Prodigy song and given him the lighting/camera treatment he got in ECW, he would've gotten over a little better. The famous Snow/Sabu matches weren't in ECW, but in the California indy circuit, around the time Sabu was making waves with Sean Waltman and Jerry Lynn. Leif Cassidy rocked. It was just so sad seeing Snow go out there and work his ass off trying to get over under a tag team name that no one cared about anymore while Jannetty just mailed it in every day. Still, he was quite the ass-kicking worker for a while there. Al was dead in the water enterting the WWF because his gimick sucked; basically a comedy gimick that should never have made it out of the minor leagues.

I don't think it was 2/3 falls, I think it would have been the deciding fall in a best of three. Somehow Snow beat Road Dogg non title or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a really fun time period to be an indy fan. Waltman was busting his ass night in and night out, bumping like hell, never worried about concussions. Lynn was shaping up to being one of the best guys at really taking weaker workers and exploiting their strengths, hiding their weaknesses, and building matches around that. Lucha libre was just starting to creep up on the indy scene. SMW was alive and kicking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
