I honestly thought Al was gonna bury these guys. He was surpisingly supportive, always the sign of a great teacher.

"Step forward with your left foot!" - William Regal

I would be dead after 2-3 minutes of that... props to these guys.

Who wouldn't want to be taught the tricks of the trade from Al Snow? Great guy, great wrestler and going by this also a great teacher.

Training videos like this is why I don't care for the "you can't wrestle" etc. chants from crowds. When you see average people trying to do even the simplest of moves and routines you really realize how much skill even the "jobber" has at the major promotion level. Great video, thx for uploading and thx to Al for passing on his vast knowledge to the next generation!

Never cross your feet unless you're Ric Flair while stylin' and profiln'.

When Al says "I love it" its like he's remembering his days as a greenhorn, making the same mistakes, and having to be coached the same as these guys. Al's a great teacher in that he doesn't belittle the mistakes that go with freshly learning the craft, he laughs them off, and corrects them. Every experienced wrestler you see in the ring now was once these guys. Granted, if they guys were a lot more experienced, and made mistakes out of carelessness rather than simply not knowing or being practiced enough, I'm sure he'd be much harsher in his words, and rightfully so.

Al Snow is so good to these guys. They are lucky to have him as their trainer. Someone like Hard core Holly would just tear their confidence to shreds

I feel like I'm watching something I was never meant to see.

I could listen to Al Snow talk about anything for hours- awesome guy all around!

Al Snow needs to have his own TV show. I could watch this type of show all day. This is true wrestling at its core.

This is the most interesting wrestling video I have watched apart from your shoot interviews. I would say this channel is more deserving of my wwe network subscription. Fantastic content guys, keep it up.

have nothing but admiration for these kids. Everyone who became a master of their craft, past this stage of development. Keep practicing!

honestly, Al Snow in my opinion was one of the best trainers on Tough Enough not just because of technique and understanding but also the fact he genuinely cared about safety of his students. Example. He said when Big Show was to body slam the tough enough competitors Al said he thought it would be a mistake and better to do a slap.. A slap you would have no choice but to react as it's like getting "hit with a frying pan" However, with a slam, if you don't fall right OR in the case of one of the ppl, they didn't sell it. it got Big Show mad and he ended up slapping him around anyway. He didn't even think it was a good idea to have Kurt Angle shoot against the competitors knowing that something could go wrong.. Which is did with Puder almost breaking Kurt's arm. Ton of respect and admiration for Al Snow.

This should be a weekly series...So much information

al snow is a great teacher: all mistakes i did when i was falling, going to the ropes, or others, he always told me what was the wrong with me. i really need to thank the best wrestling teacher that i ever met. thanks al snow

Watching this have me a whole different perspective on how great every professional wrestler is. How great Bret was, HBK, Punk, HHH, this really makes me understand better what they mean by “timing in the ring”

I appreciate that Al isn't just yelling, and each instruction he gives comes with an explanation of why it should be done the way he's telling you

Like how Al laughing and not being a hard ass at their mistakes. Sounds like a good teacher talking about safety points concerningly and informingly.

i never realized how hard wrestling really is! i mean they make it look effortless on tv. and you have to be me in tremendously good shape to pull some of those moves off!

He was great and so chilled out. I never knew about the feet positioning. Of course, now it all makes sense. In fact, it's exactly how I've seen armoured medieval combat guy's and re-enactors walk and hold their stance. Amazing to see how old school martial combat techniques have echoed through the ages.

Its so strange how something so small like how to hit the ropes makes such a difference. I never even noticed the guys were doing it until Al brought it up.

I'm not even really a wrestling fan, but this is fascinating to watch. And yeah, Al Snow seems like a really great teacher.

Just goes to show how much there is to having a good match. Not just doing the moves. Al Snow knows what he's talking about here.

I really can't believe that some of them were crossing thier feet. It's one of the first things you learn in martial arts, your foot work and stances. The way Al showed it was pretty much identical to how I was taught in Kung Fu when I was 8. The lower you can get you hips though the stronger your body can resist push/pull forces due to the lower center of gravity.

I remember watching the tough enough and thought THAT was a peek into what the wrestlers went through to become top stars. These little vignettes have just blown my mind. I already appreciate what these athletes can do and seeing what they do here from the bottom just makes me even more so. Best of luck to all these guys, they clearly have a great teacher,

When you watch it this way you realise how talanted you must be to be a top top star

I literally have a less then zero chance of being able to do that but damn do I want to learn from him

its amazing watching these guys, you learn real quick that it takes insane conditioning to do one of the more elementary sets of motions in a match

Oh my, do the pros make all this look EASY, when it's actually very difficult on so many levels - seeing this makes me appreciate them even more! But Al was good with these guys; he wants to teach them, not bury them; he's been a trainer for a long time. Lots to learn, eh? Wow!!! ;-)

As an aspiring wrestler I’m learning a lot from a legend

Stuff is NOT easy. I went to wrestling school for 3 months to learn the basics. It takes work!

Al Snow is a wonderful coach and teacher. Very technical!

wow that would have never crossed my mine about crossing your feet

It's amazing how much these guys have to learn to keep wrestling in the ring safe. This is why I have always held wrestlers above all other athletes.

Al is the man ,what a great mentor for this up and coming guys .There lucky to learn from one of the best teachers. Thanks for posting Hannibal

After watching how difficult it is for regular people to wrestle, I realize how great D'lo Brown actually is.

Al Snow is a legend in my books. Passing down knowledge and teaching those who aspire to be what he once was is truly a blessing.

Man, Al Snow is really passionate about wrestling, even his students training excites him.

Al Snow is a fantastic teacher. Ever since Tough Enough, you can tell he takes his craft seriously and is extremely knowledgeable about what he does. Even in his interviews, his knowledge is superb. I like listening to him.

Is it me, or does Al look bigger and better now, than he did in his WWE days?

Al seems like he has a ton of fun. I thought he was going to just demolish these guys but he did great by letting them figure it out

Al Snow is basically the wrestling bible....I can't get enough of his interviews and stories... the guy just knows everything about the business

Al snow is a real pro. I'd like to hang out with him and listen to him tell stories about his experience in pro wrestling. .....and what a great teacher

Holy crap! That’s incredibly interesting! I had no idea there was that much detail in a simple match. Al Snow is a wrestling genius!

This is why I have such respect for good wrestlers. This stuff is NOT easy. Fundamentals are so important.

Looking forward to the international classes with Al Snow (If that's him training, no idea yet but I sure as hell hope so). He's full of knowledge and I'd love to be trained by him. My god, you cannot go wrong with stuff he says.

Man it’s interesting watching beginner wrestlers. Makes you really appreciate the skill and athleticism of pros and the work they do in the ring

Al Snow is truly an awesome wrestling trainer and a great mentor, if I was going to train to be a wrestler I would definately have Al Snow as my trainer.

lol this makes you appreciate the art so much. These guys are a million times ahead of where i would be, and a million times behind where you need to be for TV

he's a good teacher very detailed on everything in the wrestling ring from the ropes to the rail in the ring very few trainers give those details.

When Al says "I love it" i feel like he really means it...

Man this is so interesting to watch. How much skill and athleticism it takes just to do the most basic moves without messing up. It’s funny when they screw up and stand there looking confused for a few seconds. Al is a great teacher.

I knew he was a great teacher by the way he was snickering and getting into it. These people definitely got their money's worth.

I have to say, I love watching these videos and listening to Al. He's a great, wise teacher who really knows how to explain things in an engaging way. Thanks for posting these. :)

Al snow seems tough but really fair. I swear you wouldnt have to know about wrestling or even be into it and Al Snow would still be fascinating to listen to. You can hear his Experience in every single instruction he gives.

"I love it" is Al's nice way of saying that was the drizzling shits

People don't get how hard it is in there. I trained for years and had shows etc. Just to break those footwork issue, 'bouncing' etc takes months. The rope running is a classic but something my trainer really hammered home. Sadly my trainer didn't 'teach' to get thrown out of the ring it was on the job training in a lot of ways but it makes complete sense. Also anyone that hasn't run the ropes and done that kind of cardio really has no idea, its brutal on your respiratory system the first few months.

I teach Jiujitsu. There are so many parallels in what coaches think and say, despite the sport differences. Loved this.

Thanks for these! Love hearing Al's brilliance.

Respect to these guys man.

i bet al snow is a great coach, seems kinda laid back

Al snow is an amazing teacher. jeezzz. Props

Its very interesting to see what happens when the rhythm of the match gets off track. Mad respect to these athletes.

I would love to have a teacher like Al snow

I jave no desore to be a wrestler. I could watch Al teach ot all day. THATS what makes a great teacher.

That whole crossing your feet thing was great. I don't wrestle, but I ref. I've almost tripped a few times just walking around the ring. lol. Super helpful

I love how Al Snow teaches and instructs despite sometimes smattering it with a few four letter words.

He's a great teacher/coach. He's running them hard to where they're out of breath doing up and overs. Pro wrestling is not as easy as it looks!

Al Snow dropping the Elbow Drop knowledge on us.

don't care about learning wrestling but these are entertaining as hell

What a great Teacher! Doesn't try n make you look stupid, just honestly tries to help them NOT look stupid! People tend to listen to teachers that are not assholes over the ones that are.

Al is such a positive guy. A few of these were green as grass and he always told them to keep going and never made fun of them. such a gentleman.

This is what a good teacher is supposed to do

This is fascinating, there should be more content like this

Hearing Snow chuckle at the young cats busting their ass really warmed my heart. 😀

4:57 in tears lol

That never cross your feet is good advice as I go into my 70s. Lot easier to trip and fall. Gravity becomes the opponent as you age.

who knew you had to be trained on ring etiquette??? good shit now I'm going to watch matches in a different format

I could listen to Al Snow talk all day about training. My blood pressure doesn't go thru the roof like when I listed to the other trainers lol

al is an awesome teacher! lots of experience in that ring, hope all those guys soak it in!

I never got a chance to reply be a fan of Al snow back in the day. But now.am really sad that he was n we get given a really hard push on the attitude era and now I see he is a good teacher and with all the knowledge he has and fundamentals. WWE should have him or people like him booking and writing the angles. Cause lately the booking has been subpart and with all the NXT coming up the rank they need teachers like him

AL snow was the man at the elks Lodge on Queens Blvd. during ECW days.The head lives!!!

Who is on the fridge of binge watching this, but it's too much information? That means good content. Content I strive for. Lol.

Al snow great teacher also should be inducted in wwe hall of fame

Al is such a great teacher his spirit is what ever teacher should have

So many little details you’d never think of

I just feel like Al Snow is proof that politics is the only thing that matters in the big leagues.. WWF/E had this guy that was so knowledgeable and committed and talented and experienced and charismatic who was 100% completely over with the fans and they just CHOSE NOT to push him. They made him the leader of the literal J.O.B. Squad which is a great idea, in theory. Collect a group of potential main eventers who haven't quite found their niche in the company and form a stable that ironically acknowledges this fact. That's brilliant.. but the problem is the J.O.B. Squad ended up actually being jobbers, including Al Snow so the whole gimmick was kinda meaningless. But why? Fans fucking loved him. Fans would have absolutely accepted him as a main eventer in the Attitude Era if a story was told that placed him in that position. Mick Foley is the proof it was possible. Their personas were extremely comparable and Al Snow has seemingly always been a more impressive physical specimen than Mick. So why not? He was one of the first head trainers of Tough Enough so obviously Vince & Co. were aware of his value to their business. So why not? Why wasn't Al Snow ever given a real push in WWE?

I didn't know that about the apron or getting thrown out. I always sensed a standard technique, but I never understood why.

Props to anyone trying to do this I'm an athlete but this is a totally different kind of sport.

Every beginner Wrestler is gonna do this. Al Snow is the perfect teacher. Some teachers are just gonna scream and curse at students where the beginner wrestler is gonna get so nervous and scared of messing up again, he will risk hurting the other wrestler or themselves. Al is patient with them and just listening to him, you don’t want to let him down and you want to work harder.

12:20 "I will break you" -that ring apron (rocky IV)

Al Snow - the type of teacher we all aspire to be someday.

Dude in the red shirt to the right of Al looks like a mix of Mike Shinoda and Johnny Gargano

As a wrestling fan, I’d much rather see this basic sequence done flawlessly than sloppy 450 slashes, silly twisting piledrivers/suplexes and suicide dives to 10 guys on the outside. It’s a classic case of trying to run before you can walk with most wrestling nowadays.

Al Snow gives us the game and head......YES 👍

Way better than the DVD !

"It's a blow-up drill. You get blown up."

damn good advice without any preaching, demeaning or intimidation. Al Snow is an excellent trainer.

from an old Fritz von Erich fan... I find it refreshing to hear Al work with the new kids. what say Hannibal...?
