An important factor of a great bromance is one man in the relationship helping the other out in life. When it came to the team Head Cheese, Al Snow was able to get Steve Blackman to lighten up a little and enjoy life during their time together. Blackman was then able to get Snow to not act like an idiot so much. Well, maybe the second part didn't exactly happen. The two had a brief, but memorable time together. A whirlwind of excitement and discovery. They went on a double date, Snow encouraged Blackman to perform stand up at a local nursing home ("What's the deal with airline food? I haven't experienced peanuts this bad since Charles Schultz died"), and spent a nice day at the farm together (until Blackman pulled out some nunchuks to teach a cow a lesson). Perhaps so much excitement can only last so long. They two went their separate ways before ever winning tag team gold. If only they'd stuck together longer. Perhaps the martial arts mastery of Blackman could have prevented Al Snow from eating his own dog.
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
