Al Snow on Kennel From Hell Match! 

As soon as he said Vince Russo that's all i needed to hear ...bro

Al Snow went scary when he said NUMEROUS....it's like he's having flashbacks of the many times he told Russo they needed trained animals and he's imagining him strangling Russo....

I agree with Al Snow completely. Trained dogs would have made a huge huge difference in this match.

Damn he looks like he'd be scary as a pissed of guy in person.

RIP Pepper

Shit dude when he said 'numerous' I nearly jumped out of my chair, he's so relaxed in all these other videos that crap scared the hell out of me

Well, this is the same company that cut corners and hired an unlicensed rigger to lower a man from the rafters, with a clip that required less pressure to open than to squeeze the trigger on a gun. I'm surprised one of the dogs wasn't rabid

I'm not surprised this was Russo's fault

al snow seems really intense, even scary "NUMERIOUS !!!" he seemed so funny on camera, he's very interesting though

Do you know how many times I’ve gone back and rewatched this interview? *Numerous* times! Numerous times.

I don't know if it's just me, but if I were to have the chance to talk to a wrestler about all the ins and outs of pro wrestling, Al Snow would definitely be towards the top of the list.

Like to give Al some advice, instead of explaining this disaster for a long time....just say Russo and we'll all understand

i like al snow he's a great interview .more please

why am I not suprised Russo was involved in the screw up. At least Vince McMahon did apologize to Al and Bossman.

I just watched the match again after saying I would never watch that match again years ago. I watched it because I'm currently watching old Attitude era videos. The dogs barking at each other was the best thing in the match.

I wonder if he made Hannibal jump back a bit with that “NUMEROUS times” at 2:26. Almost like he’s reliving that hell lmao

WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAND AL IS THESE DOGS ARE TRAINED, BRO. TRAINED BY ALL THEIR OWNERS. BRO, I JUST DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM.

"Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration." No one person or event has ever represented the pessimistic interpretation of this Edison quote better than Vince Russo did with this match.

NOOMEROUS times!

That kennel from hell match had the potential to be awesome. Too bad Russo thought that listening to his employees was below him.

NUMEROUS

I like how Al says dogs for some reason.

I had the unfortunate distinction of being there in Charlotte live at the ppv for this crap fest. I was such an Al Snow mark I had "Jannetty" on my forehead backwards in homage to the New Rockers gimmick. I was so psyched for this unique,potentially awesome match. Sigh. Then....it happened. And....wow.....disappointed is a massive understatement. Visual diarreah cyclone is a tad more appropriate. Sucked the life outta the entire crowd like a Hoover.

It's cool that Vinny Mac apologized to Al personally for that match sucking big time.

Al sounds intelligent. Great wrestling mind

Ok it's settled. Al Snow vs Mick Foley in a Texas death match to get all this heat behind them lol.

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Al Snow: "NUUUUMEROUS!!!!"

al was always a great worker and a pretty decent mic man alwyas wonder how such a nice guy got pooped on so much

I felt for al and big boss man when i came to know of what went on behind the scenes This could've been a great match that wouldve gone in history for all the right reasons and both of them would be a part of it, Instead the company didnt think far ahead and cheaped out and the results came as deserved And mostly,the idea was too much, you can't work with animals on a live show especially if you wanted them to pretend to be aggressive Even today it wouldnt work unless its a cinematic match like aj styles and taker match

I can sense tension from Al Snow as he is sharing his frustrations and understandably so.

You forgot former WWF European Champion

Kennel from hell was no worse than a lot of WWF ideas, it sucked but not as bad as people talk about now

That Dog had a FAMILY damnit!!!

He's a scary dude, but seems nice and honest. But good interview. Very true about the kids and animals in entertainment.

Perhaps it may have been possible to go to Charlotte's police department and ask if they can use a few of their K9 units, they're about as well trained as dogs could get.

This is why Vince Russo is the Hitler of wrestling gimmicks

Snow is right that the dogs clearly weren't trained. They were too busy acting aggressive towards each other to work with the wrestlers.

"especially in porn"... I died :D

The angle and the match concept were both excellent, but the execution of the match itself was a mess, primarily (although not wholly) because of the unintended comedy of the dogs. I still think that a double cage match could work really well with some thought and the right guys, but so far, all WWE have been able to give us is this and the Punjabi Prison match.

Russo.....say no more. DAMN IT RUSSO!!!!!

I remember that Chihuahua pepper, that poor dog look terrified every time it came out with Al. He can remember it pissed over King at commentary.

"Al we got the dawwgs, they're not trained & they're bowling shoe ugly, but if you make it work there's a spot in the women's division waitin for ya bro"

As you stand? You're sitting .. lol

How russo got so far in the business will always be one of the greatest mysteries to me

Frankly, i would have done a better version. Rather than having actual dogs within the surrounds, the match is set in a open cage similar to a hell in a cell cage without a roof, the way to win is to put on a collar, muzzle and leash onto your opponent and throw your opponent into a large kennel by the stage to win. No DQ's, No Countouts, No Pins or Submissions just pure out hardcore rules.

I wonder which is a worse match: Kennel From Hell or King Of The Road with Dustin Rhodes vs Barry Darsow on the bed of that truck?

I would make Al Snow WWE Championship for Smackdown yeah seriously 😆😅😃😆

Russo has said on his podcast that this is one of his biggest blunders/regrets in his career. If that matters.

"You know nothing, Al Snow."

PEPPER!!!!!

💯

This is almost the epitome of why wrestlecrap exists.

Take shit and make shine-ola

Woof woof

That match could of been so great had it been done properly. Having the cage and hell in a cell combined i like that idea. But when the dogs are shitting and humping outside it takes the whole seriousness away. Al will never get over it.

He is right. Amongst other things its not safe for the dogs to include them in scripted scenes. Especially in front of a crowd.

Bro, its called crash tv 🤣🤣🤣

The match is a good one in theory and possibly execution but the people in charge dropped the ball. Had they used trained ATTACK dogs from the same kennel it would have worked. The dogs could have on command go berserk as they the two wrestlers on the other side of the wire as attack targets. The dogs could have snarled, barked and jumped against the cage BUT could be given the instruction to stop IF a wrestler fell accidentally within their proximity. That would have worked great but by the brass going cheap or lazy all the two wrestlers had was a shitshow that was completely out of their control.

I would have loved to see this side of Al Snow in the ring, instead of the goofball jobber character that carried around a head and a dog. He's got kind of a dark personality that reminds me of Jake the Snake.

Vince Russo took responsibility for not getting savage attack dogs.

It was a lower card angle. They weren’t going to care enough to make sure the dogs were trained lol. The whole thing sounds like a rib.

Al Snow looks like a very angry man lol

what did it actually happened in this match? cause i heard it got some controversy in some way

Still not as bad as Patterson vs brisco in hardcore evening gown match

HEAD IS GOD

That poor dog what,a bastared vince russo was not wanting train animals sad just sad pisses me off i cried when pepper was told pepper was killed sad made me cry when heard it glad was fake the poor pepper looked so fucking scared and i feel bad because could tell al was getting pissed of and worried about pepper

This was one of the biggest bust matches on PPV. Didn’t live up to the hype and wasn’t what I expected it to be.

Dont blame Boss man and Al Snow for the terrible match. They did what they could to give the people a good match, its not their fault that Russo decided to get non-trained dogs for the match.

Did it taste good

Son of Sam had a lab not a chihuahua

Al is completely right but he's a little too defensive here. I don't think anyone holds him responsible for the dogs. And, if anything, this is in the so-bad-its-classic category and outshines a lot of other less memorable stuff that happened back then. I couldn't stop laughing at his description of the actual match. For better or worse, one of the defining moments of the Attitude Era.

Well, can't blame the fans for shitting all over this match... just like the dogs did!

People love him but he seems like one of the last guys I'd want to hang out with. I just don't like being lectured.

After hearing this I still think the only reason the WWF/E beat WCW is because McMahon had money.

Dogs aside, you can't see shit through two cages.

Vince Russo screwed something up? I’m fucking shocked 😐

Yeah, but did you need highly trained animals?

Jericho and Ambrose's "Asylum Match" was worse than the kennel match

I think Al should have appealed to McMahon directly rather than go through Russo.

Russo strikes again

He seems like an overly serious person

I agree with Snow, if the match had had properly trained dogs it might not have made the match a 5 star classic but it likely wouldn't be topping NUMEROUS!! NUMEROUS!! Top 10 worst matches list.

Smacks of bottom-dollar bidding. "Just get it as cheaply as possible, it'll be fine." For a company that relies on presentation of the people in and around the ring to do its job they really don't pay attention to the insights of those people.

i saw the movie Son of Sam and it was not a chihuahua. so he's wrong on the point. Go see the movie, you see what i mean.

Do you think they needed trained animals?

hahah freaking russo strikes again

Bowling shoe ugly

Russo was so shoddy and stupid.

Worse match In the history of WwE

Fornicating, they couldnt show on tv. lmao

He's quite the hypocrite.

snow is so condescending

The real reason wrestling died was Vince Russo.

NUMEROUS times!
