- IMDb mini biography by: JasonIK75 - Retired American professional wrestler known for his time in CHIKARA. Debuted with Lester Crabtree as the Senior Assault Team in a loss to the debuting Wild Cards ("The King of Diamonds" Eddie Kingston (Edward Moore) and "Black" Jack Marciano) at CHIKARA's October 12, 2002 show. Like his teammate, his gimmick was of a very old man and he was a pure comedy character. Unlike Crabtree, who lasted into 2013, Snodgrass only made a handful of appearances, making his last one in the Double Jeopardy Battle Royal at "CHIKARA Aniversario 3: Dodging the Sophomore Jinx" on May 22, 2004.
