In an interview last week via AdFreeShow.com, former WWE and ECW performer Al Snow gave his thoughts on a variety of topics in the world of professional wrestling, both past and present.
The latest episode of “Al Snow LIVE” saw the semi-retired athlete discuss subjects such as the bloated roster size of AEW, as well as Cody Rhodes’ first run with WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On AEW’s main problem currently: “You have too many people. Understand that every one of those people that’s under contract is an investment. You can’t market and properly commercialize all of those people because you just don’t have enough television real estate to go around. When you have the television real estate, you can only sell one product.”
On the target focal size for a roster capacity: “Keep that depth that you’ve got enough that when you need to build somebody you have somebody significant.”
On his reaction to Rhodes leaving WWE in 2016: “When Cody left WWE, I had made the statement that I was proud of the fact that he left on his terms. I taught Cody and everyone else, that that is your goal, is to be able to leave a territory or leave this business on your terms.”
On his expectations for Rhodes after his first release: “I’m like, if he wants it, he’ll be able to go back any time when he wants, when he’s ready, and you’ll have a better spot than when he left.”
