Allen Sarven (born July 18, 1963 in Lima, Ohio) is a professional wrestler better known by his stage name of Al Snow.
In the mid-1990s, Sarven received his first mainstream exposure with the WWE 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, WWE 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 his years as a jobber for WWE. Just two days before he was scripted to win the ECW championship, Sarven was recalled to WWE.
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.
