Al Snow Tag Team Comedy Featuring David Vox Mullen Coming to Premier Streaming Network
Comedy special available on PSN beginning on June 30th
Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar and current co-owner of Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), Al Snow and the multi-talented comedian, actor, singer/song writer David Vox Mullen have put their creative minds together to bring a hilarious new comedy special to Premier Streaming Network (PSN). Produced by Under The L Productions, in association with Premier Studios, Al Snow Tag Team Comedy featuring David Vox Mullen will be the first comedy special on PSN and will be available on Friday, June 30th at 8:00 p.m./EST.
The hour-long show, recorded at Zanies Comedy Club in Chicago and directed by Danny Reyes, blends outrageous stories from Snow’s time in the world of professional wrestling, along with Vox’s impressions and improv instincts for a one-of-kind special that will have viewers declaring Snow and Vox comedy’s tag team champions.
“I figured I’d give comedy a shot,” said Snow. “I mean, I was literally able to convince millions of people that I could knock another human being out with a plastic head.”
“This is a dream come true,” said Vox. “I remember watching Monday Night Raw during the Attitude Era, and watching a superstar that had so much charisma, such comedic timing, and that superstar was The Rock. But Al Snow was also on that show.”
“The Al Snow Tag Team Comedy special is the perfect fit for PSN,” said Josh Shernoff, Vice President, Programming and Creative Development at PSN. “This special serves as a seamless bridge between our well-established pro wrestling offerings and the exciting direction Premier Streaming Network and Premier Studios are heading in the entertainment space. This special really showcases our commitment to bringing innovative and engaging content to our audience.”
The Al Snow Tag Team Comedy featuring David Vox Mullen will be part of the Premier+ subscription, or can be purchased as a separate event for $11.99.
“Being both a wrestling fan and a fan of all things entertainment, Premier Streaming Network was by far the absolute perfect choice to produce this special,” added Vox.
“We are thrilled to be working with Al and David as we expand our existing Premier Streaming Network offerings into the comedy and entertainment space,” said Paul Owen, President at PSN. “Tag Team Comedy is a great way to showcase what PSN and Premier Studios can do and we’re looking forward to fans enjoying the special.”
Premier Streaming Network is available on a full suite of platforms and devices including Web, iOS and Android mobile web and desktop, Chromecast, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, and many Smart TV’s.

Carlito made a surprise appearance at WWE Backlash 2023, but that might not be the only time he works for the company this year. According to Dave Meltzer of “Wrestling Observer Radio,” the 44-year-old canceled an independent booking for July 15 and told the promoter, Devon Nicholson, that he’s going back to WWE.
Of course, nothing is concrete at the moment. However, Meltzer noted that he wouldn’t be surprised if Carlito returns to WWE on a more permanent basis after the pop he received at Backlash. “Caribbean Cool” showed up at the event to help the Latino World Order attack Judgment Day, marking his first appearance for the company since the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble.
Following Backlash, Carlito said that he’s “open to whatever,” revealing that he’ll always entertain credible business opportunities, whether that’s with WWE or another promotion. That said, he also stated that he wasn’t going to sit by the phone waiting for offers to come in, noting that he’s perfectly happy being an independent performer.
Previously, it was reported that Carlito’s Backlash appearance was supposed to be a one-off. However, WWE officials were reportedly surprised about the reaction he received, claiming that it surpassed expectations. Furthermore, footage of his comeback went viral on the company’s YouTube and social media channels afterward, indicating that Carlito has lots of fans in the WWE Universe.
Carlito’s first full-time run with WWE came to an end in 2010, but “Caribbean Cool” has made occasional appearances since then. He appears to be on good terms with the promotion these days, but it remains to be seen if he’s actually scheduled to return on a more substantial basis.
