Al would make a good voice-over artist for motorcycle noises in TV and film.

[RandallJohnson-do]

I feel for Al. It may not sound like it, but that wouldve been hell. Ive had hiccups for half a day and it drove me insane.

[jaw-knee-]

Al sounding and looking like Ned Gerblanski from South Park.

[Guitarist]

Sounds like Kane when he used that voice device.

[Scorch]

I was hoping that Al Snow’s vocal cords would heal properly, but it looks like a bad case of the hiccups caused irreversible damage. That’s too bad. 😔

[Ohionortheast]

Is this new? Is Dutch back from hospital? Sure hope so get better brother this show helps make long days much better

[donjohn]

Al now sounds like the million dollar man ted dibiase

[indiasupportstrumpwwgwga]

al snow sound like my ole high school football coach… wrestling coaches should sound like this, real veteran been through wars shit.

[christopherc]

this happened to a family friend after surgery, he had a reaction to the anesthesia and had hiccups for like 2+ weeks straight. He was legit thinking of suicide thinking he cant live like this. Finally they gave him something that worked but now anytime he gets hiccups he fears they wont go away. I couldnt imagine dealing with that.

[emobassist]

Hiccups really suck they start to really hurt after a while

[johnnygavin]

Al is the man. Loved his show on Netflix.

[Yellow_VRR]

Oh no poor Al.. hiccups like that will drive you insane 😢

[stephenrogers]

I remember sounding like that after several days when they took the trake tube out!

[JoeChillton]

hope it get's better, Al. But that must have been hell on Earth.

[albalog]

In the case of "Dr. Death" Steve Williams and Johnny Ace, they damaged their vocal chords in mid 1990s AJPW from taking certain moves. IICR, Doc got hit with a lariat by Stan Hansen around 1996 right in the throat, and then Johnny Ace took some move wrong from Toshiaki Kawada that gave him the "people power" voice. There was an almost immediate difference in their promos before & after those matches, so they must have really been damaged.

[davidepannone]

I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Non stop hiccups for 3 weeks straight 24/7. Holy shit.

[jordonvazquez]

he would be a good voice for the thing ben grimm.

[JOBdOut]

Well that sure explained nothing... he got hiccups.. he took meds.. he had a sleep walking episode.. and now his vocal chords are damaged?

[GavinSeddon-pj]

If i hadn't known better i could've sworn he had

[robertcornelius]

Al Snow, "I'm the (hic-up) toughest Wrestler (hic-up) that ever entered (hic-up) the square circle."
