OVW's Al Snow saved a boy from drowning in riptide
Former WWE star Al Snow is a new friend to KSR since Matt Jones took over Ohio Valley Wrestling, so we are happy to share the story of Snow’s recent heroics at the beach.
According to a new TMZ story, Snow was enjoying some time away at Santa Rosa Beach in Destin, Florida, when he saved a boy from being carried away by the riptide. Snow heard the boy crying out for help and sprung into action when he realized the lifeguard was too far away to get there in time.
“I made it, thank God,” Snow said. “And, I caught him just by the arm just as a wave started to pull him even further out. If I hadn’t have grabbed him, I think he’d have probably went out to sea… That would have been it.”

Snow and the child were pulled underwater before the former wrestler was able to hand him off to the lifeguard.
Hear him recount the entire rescue to TMZ:
A former WWF Hardcore Champion (x6), Snow now oversees the day-to-day operations of the Louisville-based Ohio Valley Wrestling; therefore, he is partly responsible for Ryan Lemond fighting Richie Farmer.
Great save at the beach though.
