It was a valid critique/concern from Al Snow.
Firstly, he probably has only ever seen THAT one promo of hers and let's be real, it wasn't her best. The promo itself was nothing special or exciting and she fumbled over her words. Not much personality was shown - she talked to a doll but there was no real reason as to why. She called herself "Super Hardcore Anime" but a casual fan that watched that video (or someone who isn't a follower of LuFisto, like Al Snow probably isn't) would have no idea what that even is. The point someone else made about TNA never having drawn that many people to begin with is also valid though.

The only thing I criticised Snow over was his link to TNA and "20,000 seat venues". The best they've done is around 8,000 or so, and they rarely get shows near to that level. Most of their shows are in front of crowds the size LuFisto is very familiar with. Putting LuFi out there in front of a massive WWE sized crowd? I see his point.

I'm not a big LuFisto fan, although I appreciate what she's done/is doing.
But ... Al Snow is an idiot.

The attendance and the fact that Snow brought up Sable made me facepalm. Sable was a good looking woman who got naked and was barely passable in the ring because she worked with vets like Luna and Jackie. That was back in the late 90s. Nowadays I'd like to think that fans want more than just a pretty face. Lufisto is a great combination of beautiful, sexy and ultra skilled. Besides that, did Al never hear the pops that women like Lita, Trish, Victoria, Mickie James or Beth Phoenix got? Fans will react to women who are talented as well as beautiful.

I use to like Al Snow back in the day but after hearing some interviews and watching some shoots, sometimes he comes across as extremely bitter towards wrestling.

I was a huge Al Snow fan back in the 90's. But, after I watched his ROH "Secrets of the Ring" or whatever instructional shoot video he did a few years ago, I got pretty annoyed at him. He just comes across as an asshole. Its not just being bitter, but having somewhat of a disdain for others. Its not a good trait.
But, the other thing is thats its really hard to have a GREAT 2 min promo video for the purpose of impressing someone who's never seen you. I mean, how much can you really do in 2 minutes? If you go over the top, you're criticized, if you're too quiet and subtle, you're criticized, etc.

Did Al Snow say anything about Courtney Rush? I know this is LuFisto's thread and all, but if I'm not mistaken, someone posted here that Courtney was there too, so I was just curious.

Courtney's video wasn't shown.

People love LuFisto. Anyone who doesn't already know that shouldn't be making calls for a wrestling company. Also: Sable who?

^ Ditto everything he said. That's five months of hard work and dedication to training right there. She is utterly amazing.

That is a pretty bad ass picture.
I just realized, Al Snow is just pissed about the whole #GimmickInfringement thing.
