"Hats off to her"- WWE veteran Al Snow picks female wrestler of the year (Exclusive)
Al Snow revealed his pick for female wrestler of the year on the first-ever Sportskeeda Wrestling Awards.
Five top female wrestlers were taken into consideration by Sportskeeda Wrestling for the award of the female wrestler of the year. Former WWE Superstar Al Snow was asked to pick the best female wrestler of the year among Becky Lynch (WWE), Bianca Belair (WWE), Mickie James (IMPACT Wrestling), Britt Baker (AEW), and Sasha Banks (WWE).
Check out his response below:
"Well, I would have to give it to Mickie James. To be able to reinvent herself, and in a lot of cases, where you're a professional wrestler, we get what's called a run. And it's not a matter of if your run will end, it's a matter of when it will end. You have to be a certain talent to be able to come back, reinvent yourself, or keep yourself relevant to where you can get yet another run. Mickie James has been so adept over the past year doing that, so my hats off to her, and my respect to all the ladies. They're all incredible. I would have been torn between Becky Lynch and Britt Baker. But with Mickie James on the list, I'll have to give her the nod, not to mention she's an OVW alumni," said Snow. [12:55-13:52]
