This episode of The Best Of CC features former WWF European, Hardcore, and Tag Team Champion, and former TNA Producer, Mr. Al Snow! Al was kind enough to come on and spend an hour discussing his career and his views on the business. We talk about what initially drew him to pro wrestling, and his infamous tryout with Ole and Gene Anderson. From there, we cover his experiences on the indies, and with the NWA and ECW, including his thoughts on the incident where Shane Douglas threw down the NWA Championship, as well as his matches with Chris Benoit. We go over his time in SMW working for Jim Cornette, and working with Glenn "Kane" Jacobs, back when he was known as UniBomb, and feuding with the Rock N Roll Express. Al discusses the Shinobi and Avatar gimmicks, and wrestling on WWF television under those names, and also as Leif Cassidy. The end of the Cassidy gimmick comes up, and how that translated into his ECW run, before he discovered and utilized "Head." From there, we cover a plethora of topics, including working with Rob Van Dam and Shane Douglas, returning to the WWF and working with Vince Russo, the WWF's inability to initially use Al and Head properly, the Hardcore title run with Hardcore Bob Holly, the original Tough Enough and comparing it to The Ultimate Fighter, ECW One Night Stand 2005 and the incident between The Blue Meanie and JBL, Conor McGregor vs. Pro Wrestling, and his thoughts on Joey Ryan. Al also covers TNA, and goes off on a rant about what he truly thinks of "smart" and "internet" wrestling fans that must be heard! Some may find it offensive, I found it enlightening...

And we also talk about The Al Snow Wrestling Academy, located in England, with Al as the head trainer, and assisted by Joe E. Legend, Doug Williams, and Jonny Storm.You can find out all the info you want on the school at AlSnowWrestling.com
