A Little History from Jason Campbell I'm sure you've seen this parody of the Rock-n-Roll Express when Al was in SMW. I rode with him for his first full weekend in the territory (he'd done a few shows in Ashland and a TV taping). We were at Forest Fair Mall just outside of Cincinnati. He was working that night in Erlanger, KY. Trivia note: Dan Severn beat Candido for the NWA Title that night. It was not a good match. Anyways, we were talking about things he could do so that he would get over quickly. We walked past a wig shop and both got the same idea. Due a parody of R-n-R with wigs on. We came up with so much stuff to do that it would have taken four weeks worth of interviews to do it all. The two things I remember coming up with were that the letter was written in sign language and that Robert's mom called him her little "ununuhh." Most of the jokes assumed that everyone knew about Robert's parents being deaf. Several fans ended up sending letters to the office complaining about him. Sandy Scott would pass them onto Al and we'd read them in the car. There was one he was going to read on the air from a 15 year old girl. And it may have ended up being funnier than the wig interview. Unfortunately he lost the letter.

The Death of the Rock and Roll Express Les:What is this?....a Coffin? Al:You got it right on the first try Les Les:I forgot to say you are the Tag Team Champions...sorry Al:A though came to me after I ended Ricky Morton's career that we were missing three things at Fright Night.....first a Coffin to stick him in...a piece of chock to draw an outline in the ring....and a nail and a hammer to drive a nail in that Coffin to seal up his stinking career Les:Well before we go any farther with this lets go to a Video tape of Ricky Mortons injury at Fright Night....lets take a look.... Al:Please do...... The tape shows Al jumping into the ring with a chair in which he uses on Ricky's back.....Al then hits Ricky with a Pile Driver which is against the Law to use in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.....the Ref. does not see what just went down......Al hasn't has enough....he picks Ricky up and gives him another Pile Driver.....Al beans Ricky in the noodle with the chair.....Al sets Ricky up for a 3rd Pile driver....and down he goes for the 3rd time......Al takes the Coal Miners clove off of Ricky and puts it on Unabom.....Al rolls Unabom on top of Ricky......out runs Robert Gibson who is stopped by Al outside the ring......Mark Curtis wakes up and gives the 3 count to Unabom They then show the Pile Drivers again in slow motion They then go to a chip of Ricky Morton's girlfriend crying as they play"American Pie" in the background Les:You talk about getting out of control,it's devastating,this man is going to be out for some time Al:If he is lucky he well come back...but I hope he doesn't because the was the idea behind the whole thing to keep Ricky Morton from ever coming back....I'm so sick of hearing "Rock and Roll" that chant goes on and on forever. Les:Well you know he is going to be back. Al:Oh he's not going to be back,and if he does I'll put him out again and this time I will make no mistakes about it.....and Robert Gibson you will be next on my list,but we are not here to talk about Ricky Morton in a bad way.....I am nothing.....Unabom is nothing if we are not compassionate and respectful men. Les:Compassionate? Al:Yes of course Les:Ok Al:So what we thought we would do is we will Eulogies Ricky morton.....so what I want you people out there to do just like you do very Sunday....I want you to come near to the TV set and I want you to put your hands on it....if you want put it on the back so you can really feel the power in this sermon I am about to lay down on you.....in fact if you put your hands on the right spot on the back of that TV you might really feel the power and go sailing across the room!..... Al:What I want to do is to let all you people know who Ricky Morton really was and in order to do that I need to throw some things into the coffin to bury with him and his career.....First off the thing that simplified Ricky Morton more then anything else....the thing that disgusts me more then anything else,our tag team championships....you would have to agree with me Les....wouldn't you???.....come on pick it up Les Les:The Rock and Roll Express are synonymous with the tag team titles Al:So the first thing that goes in the Coffin is the tag team championship Al takes the belt off of Unabom's shoulder and starts to set it in the big box aka the Coffin Al:I don't think we will throw that in there.....the second thing that symbolized Ricky Morton was that God damn enterance music I had to listen to night after night Unabom is holding a bag and as Al is taking he pulls a 45 rpm record out of the bag.... Al;Thank God....(Al breaks the 45 and tossed it in the Coffin)....we don't ave to listen to that any more......the next thing I remember the most about Ricky Morton was the Bandanna that he used to wrap around his thighs to stop the flow of Blood so that they would swell up to normal size(Al blows his nose on the Bandanna,turns and tossed it in the Coffin).....thank God we don't have to see that anymore...maybe we'll catch up with the 90's and get into some real fashion for a change. Al: Now but not least and I know it will come as a shock to some of you people..it may even put some of your childern into therapy,but I figure hey what am I risking?some of you people live down here so therapy is a given.....I want you people to really know what you brought your childern out to cheer for I want you to know what kind of man you were idealizing as a hero and do to that you must understand what that man wore under his clothes Al holds up a red Nightie.... Al:And as you can see Rick Morton was a closet Transvestite...you people brought your childeren out for a man who wore womans clothes....but now be it...... Les:Oh come on Al your taking this too far... Al:I heard that Ricky Morton looks very attractive in High Heels and Pantyhose.....but you people are sick enough to worship a man that wears things like this.....however it is tastefull(Al turns and puts the Nighty in the Coffin) Al:He will need to look good wherever he goes from now on.... Out runs Robert Gibson who attacks Al Les:Oh!....wait a second Robert Gibson's on the set.....come on you guys lets......ah oh they are double teaming this guy here Al finds a chair and whacks Robert in the guts with it.... Les:Come on Al Snow....take a break....come on you guys Unabom beans Robert in the noodle with the chair Les:Come on..... Al and Unabom pick up Robert and lay him in the Coffin Les:They are going to put the lid on???......come on.....hey.....hey!!!! Al has found a hammer and nails and is nailing the Coffin shut Les:This is a little too much....come on man.....come on Al take a break The camera pans over to a little Black girl in the stands with a frightened look on her face Les:Al!....come on!....come on!.....what are you doing?????? Out run Tracy Smothers and Dirty White Boy to save Robert Les:Get him out.....come on get out Smothers and White Boy Help Robert up.....Robert looks dizzy and rips off his shirt Les:Are you alright? Robert:Let me tell you something Al Snow,Unabom what you did to Ricky and what you just did to me boys payback is going to be hell.....your times coming Chip:Les can you blame him? Les:No you really can't Chip..this is taking it too far,Snow and Unabom have gone off the edge we're going to have to get out of here Chip:(stiff as ever)....Ok...we'll be back with more right after this........ A few notes on that feud. Many of the angles were from Al. The piledriver that "put Ricky in the hospital" was one. They did it so well (stopped the show for 45 minutes while they pulled an ambulance into the arena) that it was reported on the internet as real. There were even girls crying at ringside. He was so proud. credit: Jason Campbell

Challenge Match: Thugs beat Al Snow and Unabomb Great clowning this time from Al after working a fine athletic match the night before. The bruise from the bump into the table at Superbowl is still visible on Snow's back. He signals a front row fan that she need to brush her teeth. He takes the house mike and offers to let Thugs leave before the match so they don't get hurt. Thugs appear to enjoy the comedy. Smothers has the advantage early. More faggot calls from fan in first row which are ignored by Snow. Thugs doubleteam. Finally a little wrestling: A savate kick to the face by Al. White Boy uses the DDT, Smother uses the Jawjacker. Al goes for another kick with Unabomb holding Tracy and kicks Unabomb. Smothers covers for the win in 14 minutes. Al crying afterwards in agony "Not again!"

Once upon a time there was this poor West Virginian girl, who finally, after being married for 5 years, got to go on a honeymoon with her husband. Husband had been a wrestling fan for most of his life. The girl had watched wrestling on television for most of her life, but just didn't quite "get it". Husband decided to take the girl to Tennessee for the honeymoon. Just so happened that during that wonderful romantic time in Johnson City the Smokey Mountain Wrestling was in town. With her not having ever been to a live show before, Husband decided to treat the girl to one. At the show the tag team champions came out. This one really huge fella and this smaller, really cute guy. The big man didn't impress me all that much, but you could tell the cute one was really giving it his all. He flew through the air, and had some really impressive moves, and I was hooked. They announced them as Unabomb and Al Snow. And they won the match. From that moment on, the girl was hooked. She loved professional wrestling, and developed a great respect for the performers. So what if it was scripted? To this day, and the girl is still enamoured with Al Snow. credit:Staff member Maggie O
