Former WWE/ECW Superstar & TNA IMPACT Wrestling Star Al Snow was recently a guest on The Roman Show. During the interview Snow discussed Ronda Rousey’s recent WWE signing, what it means to the company, and more.
Al Snow’s thoughts on Ronda Rousey signing with WWE:
“The biggest thing I think for her is that she’s coming… it’s not like Brock Lesnar; Brock Lesnar came from WWE and he went to UFC. And when he went in and lost his first match but he went and redeemed himself against Frank Mir, and then he won again and lost, and then went back to WWE, but it’s OK to come from the, and this is ridiculous, the “supposed fake world” of WWE to go to MMA because it’s like ‘oh, now he’s going to try the real stuff.’ It’s not the same to go from ‘hey I was on top, I lost two times in a row’ apparently she ‘can’t hack it’ so now she’s going to the ‘fake stuff.’ That doesn’t mean that she isn’t still legitimately a badass and just mop the floor with anyone that makes that statement. It’s just a perception that ‘now she’s in ‘fake wrestling? Big deal.’ It works the other way, and she could be. It takes a very special person for it to work the opposite direction. And that’s totally 100% on her.
If she’s capable of having the charisma, as much as she had in MMA, she’s going to have to have ten times the amount in WWE. She’s going to have to take that stigma of ‘well you came from over here and now you’re trying your hand at this, and this is easier.’ It’s not easier. I trained King Mo and Dan Severn, I trained Dan for professional wrestling and the UFC. Both will tell you, and King Mo was like, ‘I don’t know how these guys do it.’ He was like, ‘I would much rather train for a fight than I would have to train to be a professional wrestler because physically it’s a lot harder.’ There’s much more demands.”
