Guest rob Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Al Snow. Lots of fun in the beginning with the Head gimmick, feud with Lawler. He was the definition of "Hardcore" in the company for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted April 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Val Venis Al Snow was hyped up big on the indy circuit before coming into the company and was given lame gimmick after lame gimmick. In Val you have a solid worker stuck in a bad gimmick, but he at least is B-show royalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alfdogg Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Val Venis I like Snow, but he was always portrayed as too much of a comedy act. Pre-RTC heel Val was pretty good, and I thought he could make it in the main events if given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest teke184 Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Al Snow. Al at least got over with Head and the whole hardcore thing. Venis went limp about 30 seconds into his WWF tenure after the whole "I choppy-choppy your pee-pee!" angle. None of his subsequent gimmicks (RTC Val, Chief Morely) ever helped him out.

Guest treble Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Val Venis. This one was hard, but I think what tipped the scales was seeing him sign autographs at McDonalds once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Al Snow without question. Plus, Val is a Republican. I always vote against the Republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mac Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Venis. One of the guys from the Attitude era who could have been a huge star if pushed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Val Venis Al Snow seemed to stop caring about wrestling once the Head gimmick hit and relied more and more on garbage matches until he faded into Tough Enough hell. Val Venis was a solid worker and still is that today who probably deserves better. I still really like his matches with Goldust in 1998. Thought he could've been good with his "take no bullshit character" he had when with Trish Stratus, but Vince felt the RTC thing was more necessary. Still can work today, and I liked his match with Edge last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Some Guy Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Al Snow without question. Plus, Val is a Republican. I always vote against the Republicans. Val is a Libertarian, but that's neither here not there. I'll go with Val because he's a much better worker than he has been given credit fot, while Snow is given credit for being a better worker than he was.

Guest Hunter's Torn Quad Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Al Snow Outside of the first tenure of Venis, Val did nothing of note. Snow, while not a breakout star himself, for me, as had a longer shelf life of being credible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Man in Blak Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Val Venis Though it took a little bit of pushing, he was able to get over as Bischoff's heel lieutenant, and his run as Val Venis speaks for itself. I've never envisioned him as a main event talent, but he certainly could have been a strength in the middle card and the WWF/E couldn't even really get that right, packaging him in a stupid gimmick right out of the box. Venis was able to get over regardless of gimmick. I don't think I can argue the same of Al Snow, whose one big ticket to the promised land was a castoff comment by Mick Foley.

I should have just said conservative... esp. since Val is Canadian and doesn't have a voter's card here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KingPK Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Hmmm....I'm going with Val Venis here. Val had a great look, a gimmick that was very over, and some good skills in the ring. He could have been a pretty good IC champ for a good spell. Snow is more known for the TE stuff, and look how well the winners have fared in the ring (though that might not be completely his fault).
