The new season of Holy Foley! is just Mick finding inventive ways to throw Al Snow onto Frank the Clown while Noelle continues to be a bad prospective wrestler, his wife continues to gain weight, and his young sons sink deeper into their fidget spinners and spectrum disorders.

Dewey is fired after it is revealed he has been wearing a wire and getting all of his writing ideas directly from (inexplicably) Russo and Cornette at the same time.

I couldn't fathom paying to be trained by Al Snow in 2017 simply because you'd have to put up with his gimmick of complaining about why every other wrestler but him is wrong about everything and then hear him cry about how he wasted all his opportunities in WWE for hours on end.

Yeah it's like when the Dudley Boys had a wrestling school. If you are gonna drop thousands to get trained why go for the guys who were never known for their wrestling?

Lance Storm? sure

Snow was a good wrestler at one point, though that point was "1995 in SMW". IIRC the Apter mags hyped him up as "the best wrestler you've never seen" right about then.

Hulk Hogan taught over 100,000,000 screaming hulkamaniacs in the Astro-Dome when he bodyslammed the 500kg Giant so hard that he broke his back. Those Hulkamaniacs learned so much that they all got PhDs and MBAs brother.

Thats how good a teacher Hulk Hogan is.

Quack, Hero, and Claudio trained or helped train a whole lot of WWE talent that are in the WWE right now, they were great at training technical and lucha style wrestlers. Lance builds a lot of well-rounded, ready for WWE stars too.

I can't name anyone significant that The Dudley's or Al Snow have trained.

A lot of those people are just Tough Enough or OVW and he definitely doesn't deserve full or majority credit for them. Also D-Lo was a Monster Factory product. Maybe Al Snow was an assistant trainer there?
