Summary

Al Snow (@therealalsnow) is a professional wrestler and the owner of Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). He is known for his time in ECW, WWE and on the series "Wrestlers" on Netflix. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at Blizzard Brawl in Milwaukee, WI to talk about how "Wrestlers" came together on Netflix, why he decided to buy OVW, how he trains aspiring pro wrestlers, his take on the importance of psychology in wrestling, how he first got over with "Head" in ECW, being part of the JOB Squad in WWE, his friendship with Mick Foley, his Kennel From Hell match vs. Big Boss Man at Unforgiven 1999, why he thinks deathmatches are stupid and much more!

0:01.3	Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Van Bleley!
0:09.0	Happy New Year, my friends.
0:12.0	Welcome back to another one here on Insight.
0:15.8	I'm CVV, Chris Van Fleet.
0:17.1	Thanks for being with us.
0:18.1	And thank you for making Insight one of the top wrestling
0:22.7	podcasts on the planet and know your eyes are not deceiving you. Yes, we have a new logo for
0:30.4	insight or at least a new main image for the show. It's been three years since we updated it.
0:36.9	So I figure it was long, overdue,
0:39.4	and what better time than now? New year? New artwork. Actually, the last time we changed it,
0:46.7	yeah, three years ago, 2021, that was when the name of the show also changed. So if you're newish

1:02.0	an easy name. My YouTube channel was called Chris Van Fleet and still is. So it's just like,
1:06.5	well, the podcast will be the Chris Van Fleet show. But I realized after the first year and a half that
1:14.2	I wanted a name that better reflected what the show was really all about. I mean,
1:18.3	it's not the Chris Van Fleet Show at all. It's not about me. The show has always been about
1:23.6	shining a light on my guests and letting them tell their story. So that's why it's called
1:30.4	Insight. And all of that is to say, we have new artwork for the show. Hope you like it.
1:38.3	Hope you're following the show. If you're not, please take a second right now to just, just hit follow on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening.
1:48.8	It's free.
