Al, whose real name is Allen Ray Sarven, is a well-known figure in the Prof. wrestling industry, both as a performer & a trainer.
Born on July 18, 1963, in Lima, Ohio, Snow has had a long & varied wrestling career for major organizations, such as WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling), & TNA (Total Nonstop Action Wrestling), among others.
Al is perhaps best known for his time in WWE during the late 1990s/early 2000s, where he was recognized for his charismatic persona & in-ring abilities.
He was also famous for his gimmick with “Head,” a mannequin head that he carried to the ring & used as part of his act, which became a massive hit with fans! In addition to his wrestling career, Al Snow is a respected wrestling trainer.
He took over Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), a Lou., KY.-based wrestling promotion that has served as WWE’s & Impact Wrestling’s developmental territory.
Under Snow’s leadership, OVW has continued to be a prominent training ground for up-and-coming wrestling talent, contributing significantly to the development of future stars.
Snow was heavily featured in the 2023 NETFLIX docuseries Wrestlers. Following the series release, OVW had their first Thursday night sold-out show in 8 years.
Al has 6 children, & in 2017, he married the lovely Jessica Gousha; & in 2021!
Lastly, Snow saved a child’s life from an ocean riptide at Santa Rosa Beach; this act tells me that wrestlers have a lot of heart!
