Nevermind Leif Erikson, it's Leif Cassidy Day!

Leif Cassidy, the man who rocked the New Generation of the WWF.

Let's honor the rocker by watching the biggest singles match of his career, an opening Raw match against Shawn Michaels:

And then watch him shine in the tag team division with Marty Jannetty, rocking the world of The Hardy Boys:

In February 97, I took a Leif Cassidy sign to a house show.

I always liked Al as Leif...he was the closest thing to Stevie Richards that the WWF had at the time.

I want some New Rockers promos!!

Al Snow kicks ass. I don't have much to add.

What exactly was Leif Cassidy supposed to be? Just a random guy?

It didn't really end up getting developed very much, but instead of an 80s Rocker, like the original Rockers, he was a dorky 70's teen idol rocker (the name is a play on Leif Garrett and David Cassidy - who were kind of like the boy bands of that era.) Really fun idea in theory, and Al made it work in a few segments, but they never went all out with it.

I love Al/Leif waving enthusiastically to HBK's handheld camera. Also some of the moves he broke out there.

Unrelated, but nice little callback to the Hart/Lawler feud too.
