I popped Wrestlepalooza '98 into my VCR earlier and I forgot how awesome Al Snow was in ECW back then. I also remembered how bummed I was that he didn't beat Douglas for the ECW Title back then, too. According to Wikipedia, though, he was apparently booked to win the title before he was brought back to the WWF, interesting.

Snow was way over in ECW back then.
His entrance with the music, camera work and heads bopping up and down was very cool

Just amazes me today how Al Snow didn't ever become a bigger saw. He had the talent, Had the gimmick, he was always over, He was great on the mic, and easy to work with. I thought he would had a bigger career then he did.

A whole arena chanting "We want Head!" was always funny in a perverted sort of way.

Hi match with Benoit at double Tables was pure awesomeness and his head gimmick was great.

Ya know what I find most funny about that, me & my friends were all about 10 or 11 years old & we didn't know what it meant & we'd be in school shouting "What does everybody want? HEAD!" or "We want head!"

I was such a huge Al Snow fan during his ECW run. One of my greatest moments as a wrestling fan was standing right next to Al Snow after a match chanting "HEAD! HEAD! HEAD!" over and over after he won a match at the CCBC Golden Dome. I, too, was pissed when Douglas beat him to retain the title.

i wonder though, does al snow like techno music in real life. i know it got him over and all, but yeah doesn't anyone think techno is annoying after 5 minutes.
i also wonder, at tough enough, if he taught them to take a chairshot?
i was also pissed when al snow lost to shane douglas in 1998. They had a hell of a match, damn franchise.

Ah yes, I remember when I got one of ECWs PPVs, it was the one where Taz and BamBam went through the corner of the ring, and they taped it off for the next match. ;D Anyway, The Franchise was beating down Lance Storm and he had a mic in his face asking him "what do you want?!" and Storm yells out "I want HEAD!" and out comes Al Snow, it was so awesome!  |

Al Snows entrance was one of my favorite memories of the REAL ECW.
They used to pass the Heads out at every show at the Arena, but by like the third or fourth time, everybody just started bringing them with them.
I actually had a collection of three or four styrofoam heads, one of which was signed by Al, Sandman, and John Kronus. My mom threw them out though:(

Wasn't that the time they had the post match party with all the fans waving Heads? Seeing 'Mr Serious' Lance Storm and Al Snow partying together with Head was one of the most surreal things in wrestling I've ever seen. |
