turn it all around

I’ll just be generous and say that someone can be or have done something “legendary” and not be a legend themselves.

That thing in ECW where everyone had the foam heads when Al Snow made his entrance, and everyone was bobbing the heads around? That’s kind of a legendary moment.

Al Snow being fed his own dog by The Big Boss Man? Legendary.

But Al Snow? Not a legend.

Actually the standard for "legend" should be higher than Billy Gunn too, although Billy Gunn is at at least three Al Snows in legend value

What about Leif Cassidy

While I agree, somebody pointed out that of Al's yearlong ECW run the hot part was for about two months of it.

Has there been a single person who has trained in OVW under Al Snow in the past five years who has gone on to do anything of note outside of OVW?

Megan Bayne is already good and likely going to be great. She's midway through a Stardom tour and getting pretty good notices.

Out of the blue, beyond any cause you can trace, you'll suddenly realize things are not how you perceived them at all. For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were.

Al Snow was also Leif Cassidy for a while in ECW. The guy was very interesting to me when I was younger because he kinda hit that sweet spot where he had a somewhat unique moveset because he was a larger guy who could randomly rip off a moonsault.

He also has one of my favourite punch counter spots, the arm trap headbutts? Always seemed weird no one else ever cribbed that for their own moveset.

Ah. Megan Bayne is neither listed on the current OVW roster, nor the OVW training school website. She definitely got her start in OVW but also hasn't done anything with them since pre-pandemic. I would have included her had OVW acknowledged her existing.

What does Meltzer mean by 80000 tickets sold at Wembley being the "all-time record?"

Because if he means the number of people attending an event at Wembley, then he's way off.

Adele packed in 98000. Fury v. Whyte brought in 94000. Cardiff v. Portsmouth for the FA Cup in 2008 brought in 89,874. Ireland v. Romania at the 2015 Rugby World Cup brought in 89,267.

heres all his response i think the end is the best

What have they done with him? Challenger for the world title? No. Main event scene? No. Challenger for the TNT championship? No. Challenger for the international championship? No. Oh, wait, I know! He was a tag team champion. But, only to break up the team. You are also misunderstanding me. The guy is talented, but AEW has really not done much with him. WWE also had him in the wrong situation. The big issue with him is his ego. This guy thinks he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread and that type of mentality does not get you far.

or dont whatever








Not that it would make a difference to that guy, but Swerve did have two shots at the International belt, one of which by being in the final 2 of a battle royale. If Darby wins the TNT belt he’ll most likely have a shot at that within the next 3 weeks as well.

Fun fact about that match - it was at King of the Ring 1998, the same night Mick Foley went off the cell.

of course, now that the WWE doesn't have any wrestling fans left in its crowds, it's now able to embrace that one superhero as The Guy, probably
