Wrestling legend Al Snow believes pro-wrestling today still has a long way to reach the popularity of the Monday Night Wars between WWE and WCW.
Al Snow sat down with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling during the inaugural session of the Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
Speaking on the current product, Snow said wrestling today wasn't at its peak like the late 90s during the wars between WWE and WCW. He said WWE and WCW reached the mainstream audience at the time, leading to a boom in business:
"Wrestling is very much cyclical, much like everything is. I don't think wrestling is quite at the peak that it was back in the late 90s or early 2000s. Both nationally and internationally reached an astounding peak at that period of time and they were able to reach a very broad and general audience. So we still got some way to go to reach those heights again but I'm confident that we'll be able to do it like we did." (from 1:20 onwards)
