@HicksZ34 Not sure how your comment has anything to do with what was said. Nobody is talking about safety or the chances of surviving a plane crash. The comments were about how painful the process of flying is due to all the steps needed to go in and out of the plane. The chances of surviving a car accident are much better and yet more people die each year from car accidents than plane crashes due to large amount of car accidents compared to plane crashes.

@HicksZ34 You just proved my point that you are more likely to get killed in a car accident than on a plane. Just like you can't control anything on a plane, you can't control what drivers around you do. You can try to avoid a car or truck heading towards you but there are limits to what you can do plus sometimes they come unexpected.

Met Al Snow in Tampa Bay, my dad was coaching the lightning in the NHL and took us early from school to meet some of the guys who were around the teams dressing room. Met a bunch of them but Al Snow impressed me the most, and this was the height of his “head” gimmick so I thought he was a nutcase. Couldn’t have been friendlier and nicer. Answered questions, asks my dad questions even said he was a big hockey fan. Wasn’t the biggest Al Snow fan before we met him but I’m a fan for life now. Complete class act, well spoken and articulate. Glad he still looks and sounds well.

He is giving the abridged version to how business in general works (pretty much the same thing any business seminar "guru" will say) just more toned to entertainment and/or entrepreneurship. Create a product (in this case yourself)...Figure out and exploit why you stand out from others like it (in other words, make yourself stick, get sticky)...Campaign it like crazy. You deliver (and create the demand) for something people didn't know they event wanted.

Al snow is definitely a very well spoken individual. I hung on to every word he was saying. I would of never knew he was such an inspirational person. Definitely wouldn't mind having him as a trainer if I ever wanted to be a wrestler. Thumbs up for Al snow. 👍👍👍

Al talks so much sense
Al Snow is a genius. Interesting story about Brock Lesnar was one of the reasons he left the WWE wasn't only the money but it was being on the road. It was taking a toll on him and he said he was going through a difficult time of anger and depression. He would say being on the road all year round was not away of living. You felt like a caged animal. Now that he is with the WWE, he would only come back with a reduced schedule. Meaning he comes back 15-20 days a year to WWE events. He can do that because he's a main draw. Everything he's done in the WWE and UFC makes him far more marketable then other wrestlers. Not many wrestlers are gonna get a deal like that. You have to be a main draw to pull that off. Perfect example the Undertaker. He wrestles one match a year and gets paid $2 million dollars a year. That's power. One match a year and he gets paid for that. He's earned it because there will never be another Undertaker.

Michael Tardi my counter argument to the Brock Lesnar being special if he is sooo special he could show up more to live events and ppv because that's not gonna take away anything from his marketing and how special he is also Taker only wrestles once a year because well he's aging and getting a little slow in the ring but showed he can still go this year
People dissing Snow for being a jobber...don't get it. Al never had the "look" to get over as a main event guy on the biggest stage, but he could make the higher card guys look like a million bucks. Al had to figure out how to get others over rather than just himself, which naturally gears one to coaching. And these people draw money by supporting. what made the attitude era great? Every person on TV had a defined character. People would mark out for Val Venis, The Godfather and fucking Kaientai. People cared about the undercard...so when the top billed guys came out, the energy was insane. Where every guy is trying to play a face /prove their word is good by winning, and doesn't have a unique shtick, there's no momentum in a show. everything blends, everything looks and feels the same, and after one big moment happens, the crowd is dead for the rest of the show... Breezeango getting over in the undercard/midcard keeps the energy up for the top guys. Their match with the Usos made Backlash seem like a better ppv than usual...Owens and AJ was a better match, but you always get an AJ match at the ppv. and everyone else is trying to have an AJ Styles match. so why but it on ppv? Why buy a ticket? Well, if you had a roster full of guys trying to sell the gimmick, and their schtick, maybe AJ Styles could be himself and that would be more special than it is now. Because right now, being the most athletic wrestler on the planet isn't as distinguishing as it used to be when Jushin Thunder Liger first got famous... Wrestling needs more support guys. More characters. More Marty Scurll's, more Fashion Police, more anti-flying Drew Gulaks, more "Gentleman" Jack Gallagher, than ever.

There's no video on here anymore of it, but he was on Chael Sonnen podcast you could probably find, he explains there hasn't been a jobber since the 1980s. I jobber with somebody who literally did it as a job they would come to TV take things once a week get their butts kicked go home they didn't go to any of the other towns on the loop. Or if they lived in one of the other towns it's somebody they would use as a substitution. Guys you would put on the card who could actually have a match and go around the horn and make people look good while losing was a carpenter.
The "Gray Panthers " line was great
"I fucking love me!" Indeed Al....we fucking love you
8:33 If I knew nothing about wrestling in 1999 and I was flipping through the channels and came across Rock, Austin, Foley, or Undertaker in the middle of a promo, I’m sure my curiosity would be piqued enough to stay on that channel for at least a few minutes. These days I know very little about WWE’s product but if it were the same scenario in 2020, none of their current talent would catch my attention. I would continue flipping right on past the channel to find something better to watch. Like Terminator 2 for the millionth time, or sitcom reruns. I know because it’s actually happened more than once.

I always liked Al Snow when he was working on TV, I like him even more after seeing stuff like this. It's great to accrue knowledge. That is a noble goal in and of itself. Far more noble though, is the man who endeavors to share his knowledge and experience with those who are eager and willing to learn.

That last bit about “any questions?” is the PERFECT closer!
Came for Al Snow's insight, left understanding why Arnie's so rich. Love this man.
Al is a great teacher and mentor. Articulate, level headed and doesn't seem screwed up by a business notorious for chewing you up and spitting you out. Funny that he should act the madman. Him and Regal, i could listen to for hours.
Damn he painted quite the picture here...life of a pro wrestler sounds like such a painful hassle both physically and emotionally. Knowing this is what made me appreciate them more as I've grown older. There was a time in my life that I thought the business was so ridiculous and stupid, but now I have tremendous respect for it again. Way more than when I was a kid.
Wrestling is the hardest job ever...... flying is tough for him
This series is so great, thanks for posting
Thanx for posting this motivational speech from Al. I can now look back and say....Yes. I got people to leave there house and come to our wrestling shows. I did sell our brand and myself. That I did do good. Glad I retired when I did. Now I know I did what I needed to do. Thanx again for posting.
Al snow really does has an amazing mind for the business
Al Snow is absolutely brilliant! His lessons is applicable not only to professional wrestling but also to life as well! #Respect
Al Snow has perhaps in the best in ring and out of the ring psychology about the wrestling business that I've perhaps ever heard from any wrestler... His unique way of breaking it down like a business is virtually second to none!
Al Snow still looks great! So fun to listen too!
For all the Supernatural fans, the first half Al's vision, was Crowley's version of Hell😂. In all seriousness , this was well worth the listen!
Of all the wrestlers in the world I’d love to sit down and speak to Al Snow about the business and his experiences. He just puts things across so well.
Al Snow puts wisdom along with in ring training too, shows the proper mentality and reality, man, I can listen to him all day long
Al's a great worker.... He Always was. Al's a great wrestler.... He Always was. Al's a great teacher.... He Always was. Al's extremely underrated. He Always was !
These videos are great! Love Al Snow
It is a very tough life but for some people, the dream is pro wrestling. How much are you willing to live without to live your dream?
He seems very intelligent and shrewd about the business
Hi thanks 🙏 for the great 👍 videos it’s great to see the way they learn their trade in experience of quality of life they are going into.
amazing great mini seminar! he nailed it!
That's some damn powerful stuff. Thank you, Mr. Snow.
I love this speech!! Al Snow rules!
I get what he is saying but if you break it down you can say this about majority of professions. You wake up in the morning, get ready for work, have to sit in traffic driving to work, once at work stare at the same computer for 9 hours then sit in traffic driving home. Get home, have dinner, maybe get an hour or 2 of free time then it's time for bed. Rinse and repeat the next day.
Damn what I would give just to sit with him, have some drinks and hear his stories all night. Great attitude and no nonsense. Just tells it like it is. Would be epic!!!
