So, without further adieu...
HOW GOOD WAS...
Al Snow as the European Champion!
Seriously! This man was the original "Very European" superstar. Al Snow's 48 day reign as European champion brought on one of my favourite laughs as a kid in 2000. Week after week, Al would come out in a different stereotypical or satirical ring attire, whether it was lederhosen for Germany, over the top Asian rice paddy dressage for Hong Kong (former British colony), or even confusing Greece for 1978 musical Grease. Everything, from the framed photo of the national idol of the current country (Hong Kong Phooey~!) down to the awful entrance music (complete with translation of "WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT? HEAD!"), was perfectly done.
Al Snow really gets a bad rap from a lot of fans, but honestly, he was one of my favourite parts of the midcard back in the Attitude Era. Plus, Al Snow was the first action figure I owned, so win-win.
