Your Moment of Mark: #3 - "OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW?"

My 'Moment of Mark' this week is actually a whole bunch of moments, all pretty much the same. As a 10 year old kid, I f**king loved every time the New Age Outlaws would come out to the ring. I didn't care that they we're meant to be dick heels, but seriously, I could say the same spiel over & over again like clockwork, to the point where I would use this as my entrance music as a kid wrestling in the backyard. They weren't the best guys to ever lace up a pair of boots, but they damn sure impressed me every time they picked up the microphone. Mostly Road Dogg honestly. He was really knew how to pump up that 'Attitude' crowd.

AND IF YOU AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT...

How Good Was... KOPF!

I'm debuting my first ever recurring thing, hopefully as a tie-in with the whole mark motif.

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.
