Al Green (wrestler)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al Green is a professional wrestler best known for teaming with Kevin Nash as the "Master Blasters" in the NWA & World Championship Wrestling. In 2000, Green was put in the role of Big Al, a former bodyguard for former Ultimate Fighting Championship striker turned wrestler Tank Abbott that was angry at Abbott's choice of going into professional wrestling. They fought in an infamous "Skins Match" at SuperBrawl 2000 in which a leather coat was hung on a pole. The person who got the coat would be the winner. Abbott ended up victorious and pulled a switchblade from the jacket, threatening to cut Green's throat.
Afterwards, Green was taken off TV and repackaged as The Dog when he formed a hardcore tag team managed by Fit Finlay with former Nasty Boy, Brian Knobbs. Green's mannerisms in this gimmick were those of a stereotypical attack dog and would have habits not unlike dogs, including drinking from the toilet. He was a last minute replacement in their group for Sabu who couldn't start for WCW due to contract issues. Upon the acquisition of WCW by World Wrestling Entertainment, Green's contract was one of the assets not taken.
Al Green appears in the first Hogan Knows Best episode of 2007.
