“Backstage sucks. It’s not exciting. Everything behind that curtain is boring. It’s just hallways and walls and road cases and a bunch of miserable people who are getting paid to fake fight each other in their underwear and do nothing but complain the entire time. That’s it,” said Al Snow.

He continued:

“And they sit there and talk about each other until one of them walks up on the other and they say, ‘Hey man, how you been?’ And then as soon as he walks away, oh, look at that guy, man. The only reason he’s getting pushed cause, you know, he’s sucking so and so’s d**k. Why do you want to be backstage? It’s not fun. Yeah, trust me. I’ve spent 44 years backstage. It sucks a**. It’s not a good time. You know where it’s fun? Even for us, for the wrestlers, you know where we have our fun on the other side of the curtain in front of you. So, why come back behind the curtain with us?” (9:42 onwards)

Al claims he has spent around 44 years backstage, and it’s not a good time to be there.

Al Snow finds truth in what The Rock said about WWE WrestleMania 40 situation

The whole debacle about The Rock and WrestleMania 40 was pretty much cleared up in the documentary. It claimed that Rock vs. Roman Reigns was the plan going into ‘Mania; however, Cody Rhodes’ movement changed it all. Now WWE President Nick Khan is saying that was not the case, as Roman vs. Cody was planned all along.

In the same podcast, Al Show said about the situation:

“I think The Rock’s being honest, and I think, you know, things got changed, and went a different direct, and I think Nick’s toeing the company line.” (8:00 onwards)
