Career

In the mid-1990s, Sarven received his first mainstream exposure with the WWF as Leif Cassidy, the tag team partner of legendary tag team wrestler Marty Jannetty. The duo was promoted as "The New Rockers", a throwback to the 1980s team of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty. Inevitably, the angle was dropped and Sarven was reduced to jobbing for mid-carders. In the late 1990s, WWF and ECW began to cross-promote their organizations to counteract the success of WCW. One of the wrestlers sent to wrestle in ECW was Sarven.

Within this new environment, Sarven found success as the character of Al Snow. In this role, Sarven received a lot of fan and management support for his 'Job-Squad' angle, which promoted him as being angry with and driven mad by his years as a jobber for WWF. He would come to the ring with a mannequin head that he talked to as if it were a real person and prompt ECW crowds to chant "We want head", an intentional double entendre. Just two days before he was booked to win the ECW Championship, Sarven was recalled to WWF.

Since then, Sarven, who still uses the Snow character, has enjoyed some mid-card success in WWE, and still performs an on-air role as a commentator for Sunday Night Heat. He has made the most impact in the WWE as lead trainer on the promotion's reality show Tough Enough.
