Al Snow on Wrestling Bruiser Brody! 

I wish Al Snow would just record a podcast about wrestling history, road stories, promo 101 and in ring psychology. Could listen to this guy talk wrestling all day long

It’s in the record books: June 17, 1984. Minneapolisa, AWA TV results, Brody beats Al Snow & Koko Lewis in 2-on-1 handicap match.

Didn't realize Al had been in the business that long.

That's a story that puts you as close in the ring without actually being in it. I felt that boot to the face! Well done, Al.

"just fight back kid ,you'll be alright" -bruiser Brody Priceless

Al always seemed like a genuine guy. Really cool hearing him talk about the old guys.

this story was so good I listened to it twice in a row

Even Bruiser Brody followed the tradition of thanking your opponent after they put you over.

Al looks bigger now than when he wrestled.

That has got to be one of the greatest Brody stories I've ever heard

That was good. The interviewer didn't interrupt and let Al tell the story. Well done.

Best wrestling story I ever heard. I saw Bruiser and it was scary, we made room as he came through the crowd throwing folding chair. AL Snow is telling the God's honest truth. Brody was a monster killer!

Haha Brody tells him "just fight back kid, you'll be alright" Al had that look on his face like "yeahhh ok" LOL funny that's like a perfect movie scene right there

This is a GREAT story. Al always tells a great story.

Listening to Al Snow talk and tell stories is more entertaining then watching any WWE show that they have going on now a days 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great way to sum up the conflicting stories told about Brody. Brody probably was a really great guy to those who respected him and the business. I also don't doubt that he wasn't to be crossed. Al's friend should have bumped.

WOW! What a story! Brody sure could put on a show. He was 100 percent dangerous for real if he wanted to be. When big, powerful guys as Al Snow and even as magnificent a specimen as Lex Luger will unabashedly say they were genuinely afraid of Brody, it's hard to believe someone as formidable as him could be taken out for real by such a cheap shot.

WOW! What a story… And you lived to tell it… “Sorry about your friend”… Bruiser Brody… Simply the GOAT of wrestling!!!

Al's a great orator, really enjoy these stories about the greatest wrestlers told by legends themselves. Fine work ya doing Hannibal.

I could just sit all day and listen Al talking about wrestling, not just stories but about wrestling in general

It sounds like Bruiser Brody will work with people who actually know how to sell and fight hard back. But man, he was so vicious with everybody else.

I have heard the full story regarding the guy Brody injured in St. Louis. The reason Brody did it, is that the guy was mocking him and making fun of his gimmick.

I can listen to this story over and over

I've been watching wrestling since 1982....There are very, very few people in the wrestling business, I respect more that Al Snow.

Man, Al knows how to tell a story! By the time he finished I felt like I had just been in that match with the one of the GREATEST ICONs Bruiser Brody, I felt dizzy and shit! I saw Brody wrestle Dick the Bruiser in 1980 when I was 9 at the Indiana Convention Center downtown "Battle for the Bruiser name", still remember it like it was last night! People were so wound up they were fighting in the hallways on who was better the Indiana Legend Dick, or the young Lion Brody, it was crazy, it was when you believed wrestling was real and fights would break out between lifelong friends like it did that night. I finally met Dick the Bruiser a few yrs later at a local neighborhood video store, and he was an Asshole, broke my image of him, my grandpa and grandma used to go see him and the original Sheik every sat. night in the late 60's and 70's, but I never told her he was a jerk.

still a big ol man then and always will be

that was a great story....

Al Snow should have a podcast if he doesn’t already. This guy is an excellent story teller. Awesome.

on of the best wrestling storys in history....this should get an Oscar for Best Shoot Short Film...LMAO...

One of the greatest wrestling stories ever told IMO.

"I Lived"....Priceless

Even though his rep for being legit badass is well earned, I also heard he was a true pro, just had MAJOR issues with Authority

Al Snow and George the Animal Steele have some of the best interviews.

Goes to show how much of a legend Al is. Amazing

Al Snow was a good wrestler an decent .Man Great Story teller

Love listening to Al tell stories or took wrestling psychology. Very underrated guy both in and out of the ring.

And yet OUT of the ring, Bruiser was said to be quiet and gentle.

"Bruiser" was not a Gimmick. If you worked he'd be professional but he expected his match mates to be too. If you F'd up and stiffed, he'd allow 1 write that off as adrenaline. 2nd screw up, he was going to shoot on you. Stiff is one thing to be expected, some wrestlers do not know any other way. But Mark Callaway, Van Vader, Stan Hanson alp felt, frank "the bruiser" brodie messeges. Al Snow respected "Mr Brodie" and was rewarded w/o a lesson. "Thank you Sir" great story Al. Thank you.

Wow what a legendary story! At least he had the ballz to go into that ring w Brody. Damn!

It’s nice that Bruiser Brody took Al Snow’s prior head injury into consideration and willing to accommodate while simultaneously showcasing his intimidating aura

I'm from ohio and al snow reps ohio very well I think he tells stories shoots very straight better than most I believe it when al snow talks tuff dude also loved his Ollie story this ones great 2 brody is the man would love to have him around now much respect al snow ohio loves you bud

Those guys are so cool. You'd never think so just by watching them on tv.

This guy tells a terrific story. I've seen his other interviews and shoots...just as interesting.

I met him when I was a kid at a cracker barrel in Ohio. Still got the picture of us.

Al Snow is always one of the best guys too listen to

Such a fantastic talker, love this guy

could listen to him all day

I saw AL Snow at a water park around the time this video came out. Al is freaking huge. Its crazy how big the guys are that make Al look like a middle wieght on TV.

What a brilliant story

Al looks better now than he has in 20 years - good for him!

Wow thank you Al that was an amazing well told story!

This was a brilliant story I kept laughing when he said Brody says hey tnx kid and sorry about your friend then I lived lol

Al snow definitely paid his Do's in wrestling

THAT is a wrestling story

To hear Al talk about Frank and their match,was like as good as being there. Al and Frank should both be in the WHOF. Al has a way of talking that draws you in to every word.

One of the coolest stories I've heard in a long time

Absolutely love these stories.

Love how Al explains what a job guy is...puts all these "know-it-alls," who havent spent one second in a ring, in their place...

RAW every Monday should be this good.....Thanks Al

Good interview glad I found your channel.

Because he hit the big time around 1996 or 1997 I assumed he broke in around 1991 or 1992, he must have seriously loved the business to go from 1982 to 1996 before earning proper money

I came here just to hear Al Snow talk. I love his voice & demeanor.

Awesome 😎💯😎 thanks Great job 👏🎉👌 Big fan of Al Snow!

very kool.. I love hearing stories of the Baddest of the Bad in the World. being true professionals and great to work with

The lesson here was to never no-sell Bruiser Brody, kids!

Lol!!! This was real talk from Al👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Al seems cool as hell as a person.

Interesting story about how the term “Job Guy” came to be.

all his stories are great, he should make a movie of just shoot interviews.

One of the very best wrestling short stories I have ever heard! Money

This Brody fella' sounds like a real man's man. I wish it had been Invader 1 who got gutted like a fish in a locker room shower. Cosmically unfair.

Fantastic story! Well done

Just thinking about being a job guy for Bruiser Brody makes you seriously terrified LOL

Love that store Al snow great store teller

The best Brody story ever!

I am on my 10th Al Snow video! I love they way he sets you straight about stuff you think you know about wrestling. He should train everyone!

i think so highly of this guy. hope he still in the biz as a consultant or something. But a good attitude he has in his approach to life . . . .it seems. learning lot about wrestling. New Jack my favorite, love that guy.

Never knew he wrestled Bruiser just saw the first match the other day so this is cool. The sheet tthese guys went through back in the days for training f was legendary

So so so good. Thanks for this

Al snow worked so well with big guys. No matter the size he made it believable including big show.

So the moral of the story is do the job and it will be easy. Good story and advice.

Always feel like you're getting it straight when Al tells a story....

This is so great I love how he talks about wrestling, really funny story too!!!! 'Fall down!!!'

al snow is a great story teller.

Bruiser Brody only tagged his buddy for real cause he wouldn't sell it. It may sound harsh for our times to have some experienced wrestler take a beating to guys who were green & just starting out but it was a different time where you learn the hard way & sort of eliminated all the weaker guys early on who didn't understand the business in the first place.

That was a awesome story

How gracious was Brody to that Al Snow for the opportunity?

Another great Al Snow story....

Al is a library of wrestling knowledge and history. Wonder if he has his own podcast.

His dumb friend didn't sell Brody's kick to the face, so Brody made him pay. He taught him a lesson, without using any words. To this day, Brody still my favorite wrestler.

Very sad what happen to bruiser brody! But he was an awsome wrestler

greatest rasslin story ever so far

Snows best run was in ecw vs shane douglas candido lance storm RVD n Sabu. What a run and hard hitting matches

This is why mick Foley likes al so much he got to wrestle his hero unlike himself.

I used to always wonder about the guys on the TV matches that lose all the time--I never knew they were called "job guys"--I used to call them "scrubs" or "punching bags", because they were usually outweighed by 100 pounds, tossed around the ring like rag dolls, and showed very little offense, except maybe a few weak rabbit punches before they were mercilessly clobbered. That's a heck of a "job" to be that "guy"!

That's a good story

Al's story is phenomenal lol

great, great story...s'rare to hear any good things about brody

I lost count but Im sure I laughed out loud 4-5 times..great story

Those old school wrestlers were beasts

Pretty cool that Brody actually respected the young jobber's request, and didn't hurt him. Shows that despite his wild reputation, he could still be a pro.
