WILLIE ADLER LOOKS JUST LIKE AL SNOW

True story: a prominent figure in the metal industry told me last month that he’s now managing The Ultimate Warrior and I just about flipped my shit. And when I told Axl the news he flipped his shit like an omelet on a fucking saucepan at one of those omelet bars in swanky hotels where the guy makes the omelet on demand for you (I LOVE omelet bars!). We were giant, giant WWF fans back in the late ’80s / early ’90s, during Ultimate Warrior’s prime… we used to have Wrestle Mania and Summer Slam slumber parties at which we got high on soda and potato chips and stayed up until the wee hour of 11pm watching the Warrior in all his glory. Creating this blog has given me several “Slap me. Is this really happening?” moments like the time we interviewed Troy Sanders, the time I somehow bumbled through a philosophy session with Peter Dolving despite being stoned out of my gourd (thanks for that cookie, Van Arseface) and the time we were privy to an intimate, private, live performance of Living Colour’s new album. But all would pale in comparison to the opportunity to meet the Warrior. Well, maybe not… but it’d still be really fucking rad.

All this is just a long-winded way of saying that when Suckalo Andrew Bejarano emailed us with look-a-like pictures of Lamb of God’s Willie Adler and ECW / WWF WWE pro wrestler Al Snow, I had to consult the Webernets to find out who the fuck Al Snow is because my pro wrestling knowledge begins and ends with the era of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and CoCo Beware.* But Andrew is right… they do look eerily alike. It’s all in the white trash ‘stache. You be the judge.
