Wrestling is the perspective of whatever douchebag running the show thinks society wants to see. They used to cater to the 15/35 yo dudes who want to see girls gone wild. To say it’s some kind of illuminating reflection of our society is a total fucking joke
Al Snow would make NO ONES Mt Rushmore of Wrestling. He would be the Designer of the Monument!! EVERONE WANTED HEAD during the Attitude Era, even the White House!
Russo/Ferrara said the difference in booking between them and most other people was.. Most bookers first come up with a list of matches, and then try and come up with reasons for the matches to happen. Russo/Ferrara first came up with the angles, and then the matches happened naturally as a result of where the angle was going.
And that's, despite what you may think of said angles (won't say they've always hit the mark, but they definitely hit the jackpot more often than not), is why Russo and Ferrara are still better writers than anyone in AEW or WWE since their departure. Plus, it wasn't just main event guys getting proper feuds. Lower card folks like Snow or Val Venis were getting something meaningful to do as well.
Al snow is always argumentative!! He is a smart guy but light weight annoying. All his videos he argues the point. Unless it’s a star wrestler then he falls into rank.
He seems likes hes always trying to be the smartest guy in the room. The grizzled vet who knows everything. Tell you why your opinion is wrong. Tell you why a stupid idea is actually a great idea because it technically drew money. He also seems like he has a stick up his ass, which is the exact opposite of his character. I do like him and think hes a smart guy. He could tone it down a bit at times though.
I swear theres a video somewhere I think he is with some students at a school and he asks them all a question and when someone finally answers and I'm pretty sure Al said there are no stupid answers, he basically said thats a stupid answer and Al's answer ended up being pretty close to what the student said, just reworded 😂😂😂 Just loves to be argumentative for sure.
In large part yes. The NWO moved WCW into a more realistic fashion so WWF combine ECW's sex and hardcore with WCW's realism and it became the attitude era
He’s absolutely right! At the time of me writing this, lots of people - and not just NFL fans, dislike the Kansas City Chiefs because of the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce power couple storyline that has been pushed all season long and now has escalated to the point where they’re in the super bowl and everybody just wants to see them lose. There will always be a face and a heel out made from circumstance.

Represented the outraged america that hated wrestling after chris benoit and steroids so they had to tone it down and play it safe. Even now, censorship is on the rise
Hmm, I saw it as the prime time , kid friendly wrestling show competing and wanting the “ heat” that the elusive, satellite cable ECW show was bringing. I always thought it was cringey and wayyy over the top.
Funny enough, I would say most people that LOVE wrestling don't like society, or at least the modern parody we all live in. Al Snow was right about one thing in his wrestling career, and that was waving a mannequin head around a bingo hall.
I call it the Rock, Stone Cold, UT, Foley, and kinda HHH ERA. Regarding Al Snow... I always play this game with my brother where i take things he said and use them in an argument just to hear him disagree with them😂😂😂😂 He has no idea he just wants to disagree😂😂😂
I would love to see al snow and jordan peterson debate one another. Nothing like having two people in the room that are never wrong arguing with one another.
He's spot on. The late 90s for example was a really cool/edgy time where millenials were pushing the limits with behaviour. Hip hop was in full form too and it all translated into how WWF was cool back then. Just look at the crowd during the attitude era. You didn't have these fat nerds now that cry over cyber bullying.
"If you don't like wrestling you hate society."
Huh? Lol
The point
Your head
I get what he is saying. You don't have to enjoy wrestling. But if you just hate the idea of it that's rather misanthropic.
I was trying to understand that as well like wtf
If wrestling reflects society, and you don't like it, then you are seeing something in society that you don't like.

Mae Young giving birth to a hand….sophistication
What garbage that was. I think Mae Young was mentally challenged during that period.
@@travismcdonald6576 You either are or you're not. You cant just become 'mentally challenged' all of a sudden.
@@Millwall77Yes you can, people can become mentally challenged after an accident.
Russo didn't write that tho just remember that
Proof Al Snow is 100% correct is as simple and clear as The Rock being a heel RIGHT NOW
Al Snow would make NO ONES Mt Rushmore of Wrestling. He would be the Designer of the Monument!! EVERONE WANTED HEAD during the Attitude Era, even the White House!
I can listen to Al Snow talk about wrestling for hours.
I can too. But why would I want to?
I don't think that sophisticated is the right word.
Reality Based *
Man I had no idea there was a al snow episode
Not like they’ve had legends on lol
There IS an Al Snow episode.

Funny thing is, Sean said what Al said, just in a much more condensed version. At least in my view.
Not the same at all. You just don't understand what's being said.

Just loves to be argumentative for sure.
I have a feeling he would have said something to the contrary no matter what Sean said. VERY patronizing.
@@rodzorAl Snow likes to take smarks down a peg to a fault. He made a similar point to Sean here and reworded it to get one over on him.
Ywah he cones across asnjust a prick tbh
The attitude Era was a reaction to WCW
In large part yes. The NWO moved WCW into a more realistic fashion so WWF combine ECW's sex and hardcore with WCW's realism and it became the attitude era
i always found it as a reaction to South Park, Jerry Springer, and Howard Stern. All entertainment in general was getting "edgy"
Totally agree
It was a softer version of ECW
Al Snow is like the annoying, condescending relative who everyone has who is obviously always the smartest man in the room.
No he isn’t
Per Al, he had a period of suffering ir-retractable hiccups that lasted weeks. That is what affected his larynx/voice.
He’s absolutely right! At the time of me writing this, lots of people - and not just NFL fans, dislike the Kansas City Chiefs because of the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce power couple storyline that has been pushed all season long and now has escalated to the point where they’re in the super bowl and everybody just wants to see them lose.

Sophistication? 😆😆😆😆
It was Jerry Springer in a ring and the fans wanted something edgier.
"if you don't like wrestling, you don't like society" it's the worst take in the history of takes.
The " attitude" era was ripping off ECW
John Cena being pushed down our throats for ten years. PG Style lame comedy. What part of society does that represent?
The money society
@@daidavies90 I don't think your making sense but alright!

Consumer culture. Motivational meme bullshit.
Even when I disagree with Al I still like to hear what he says.

Man its amazng how many superstars these guys managed to interview...and Al Snow.
I do love Al he is old school. You don’t know where you’re going until you know where you have been.
OK I need al snow at the rumble next year
Head head head head!
6:42 i . m . WEAK! 🤣
He is making some good points but also some dumb points.
He's a pseudo intellectual
I'm not even 2.5min and Al Snow's delusion is in rare form. This is better than his thesis on what makes a "good" match.
If you don't like wrestling you don't like society?

@@werewolfofsicily haha. Last part cracked me up. Do you remember when that segment was
@@Cum007 ECW Hardcore TV S6E19 (May 9, 1998). Al Snow vs. Shane Douglas.
I call it the Rock, Stone Cold, UT, Foley, and kinda HHH ERA.
Regarding Al Snow... I always play this game with my brother where i take things he said and use them in an argument just to hear him disagree with them😂😂😂😂 He has no idea he just wants to disagree😂😂😂
Kinda HHH era? You clearly didn't watch that era then.
Thanks
Jerry Springer is not "sophisticated".
I disagree😂
You resemble that remark.
I would love to see al snow and jordan peterson debate one another. Nothing like having two people in the room that are never wrong arguing with one another.
Met Al many times in Louisville. I worked in alcohol sales and he enjoyed Bourbon. Nice guy and very intelligent
No you didn’t

I lost all respect for Al after seeing this.
How
@@phillysfinest215 my b, my old phone dont give notifications.
I misunderstood what he said at the time so was my b.
@TheTitofan1 was my b, I misunderstood what Al was saying.
