Al Snow On What’s Been Lost In ‘The Art’ Of Wrestling

Al Snow recently weighed in on aspects of wrestling that are lost in the current era. The OVW boss talked about elements of wrestling he thinks are missing in the modern day during an appearance on Busted Open Radio. You can check out highlights below, courtesy of Wrestling Inc:

On what he dislikes about current wrestling: “I guess what I don’t like about it is the loss of the real art of what it is, you know. The art of selling. The misunderstandings, the lack of intrinsic things that are of the true nature of what we do… The objective of selling is selling who you are and selling your intent, your sense of urgency, that you’re really attempting to try to win and not lose a match.”

On selling a character: “It’s not what these athletes do, it’s the who the athlete is that you can believe in. And what’s at stake? Why does this one game matter? Why should you as an audience care?”
