It's a new day on Ring Of The Hawk and today it's Wes Brisco's favourite wrestler A1. Trained by Scott D'Amore and a member of Team Canada. Despite being surrounded by great wrestler like Petey Williams, Bobby Roode and Eric Young, today's guy A1 still failed to peform.
He even had one of the worst matches in Ring of The Hawk history when he faced Raven on Pay Per View. One of the worst PPV matches of all time!

Kill shot from lucha underground for ring of the hawk I've left comment on like 30 of ur videos what's up I subscribe so what's up
Ring of the hawk it’s every time more fun, I’d like to see the WWF 2000/2001 Bull Buchanan run, for me he was very underrated for his size and agility
Well Big Hawk, seems you found yourself a sidekick.
Gimmick name will be Hawkine?
On a more serious note, was that your girl?
Marky marked out to raid... Atleast you making that bread
Piper vs Heenan, Rude and family from 1989, including all Primetime Wrestling segments for Feud would be a blast.
Gotta admit, Viscera's spinning kick was underrated for someone his size
Facts surprised he didn’t talk about that
He did it a good bit im squashes and stuff. Can imagine it was hell on shoulders
The “rolling blunder”
Viscera was so hot. Especially when he did that world's largest love machine thing 😍
He was quite mobile for a guy his weight.
The girl's impression of the hawk whilst trying to hold in her laughter caught me off guard. 😂
Timestamp?

That was awesome 😂 I can't believe they lost Killings for this waste of space lol
Hey, I remember A-1. He was basically the silent muscle of Team Canada, but unfortunately, the least talented, especially when you're in a group that has Bobby Roode, Petey Williams and Eric Young. I thought he would be a good undercard heel with his size when he became a singles wrestler around 2006 but unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. I hear he's doing well for himself now after wrestling so that's a plus.
i was just thinking of that. Team canada is loaded with future stars and its clear he the one that is left out or at least the one they trust to anything more then a couple of move in the ring.
I remember him. What's he doing now?
@@Yoni123 he retired in 2007 but returned to wrestling one year later and according to many websites, his most recent match was in 2018. I'm not sure if he's still wrestling today or if he's working another job. I did hear that he retired then got another job somewhere else but I could be remembering wrong
@@Yoni123I think he's a chiropractor?
"The Cab Driver Slam! The Cab Driver Slam! It's over...wait, no, it's not"
It's only ever over when the Master of the Cab Driver Slam David Young hits that move.
I have heard of A1. I watched him when Team Canada was in its prime in 2005 and I swear he was made to look like the Dave Batista of the group. Maybe I'm remembering it differently, but I thought every member of Team Canada was bound for success. I guess I ended up BEING WRONG.
Team Canada always get the better in ring guys even when the first Canada vs USA feuds happened hell to name every main eventers or high mid carders I would be here for a few days
I can say one nice thing about A1. He sold Raven's DDT really well.
How did Raven age an extra 30 years in 2 actual years though..?
@@ryantiller5624 Some people seemingly don't age much throughout their life and then just hit a point were everything (at least visually) starts starts to go.
Whoever that woman was doing the voice-over was a hilarious surprise
Thing is, when A1 is executing a move he usually looks pretty good doing it... but he ended up doing SO FEW through his ENTIRE run. And I'm not even talking repertoire, I mean his moves per match ratio.
A1 is allergic to the Mold Dogg. They wrestled 8 times and I think A1 maybe hit 4 moves on him. A1 was avoiding him like the plague.
A1 was something in between Wes Brisco and Rob Terry.
Like a missing link humanoid
I legitimately don't remember this guy. Even after watching this entire episode, I have ZERO recollection/memory of this man ever appearing on the show (and I was following the show at the time).
me either. wtf.
@@hia5235 This is my first time ever seeing a dude on one of these videos that I have no recollection of. I even remember most of the jobbers from when I was a kid...but I have absolutely zero recollection of a guy calling himself A-1 in TNA. None...
@@dizzle1119 Mandela Effect perhaps?
@@elephantman6117 Nah, being honest...I probably just dubbed it over w/ something that was worth remembering. lol
@@dizzle1119 exactly
'Alastair Ralphs, what a horrible name that is, unfortunately for him that's his real name too', lmao
8:15 that might just be the only believable Canadian Destroyer I've ever seen.
I'm still trying to find a believable Irish whip
@@Robyamdamthe only Irish Whips I find believable are those from short distance into the corner. think of Bret Hart's chest corner bump.
but the moment the person being sent out hits the ropes and keeps running I'm like "hell naaaah. why'd he still be running?"
@@rpl1318 I've been studying old tapes, and I actually have a decent explanation. The reason why they keerp running is because they are actually trying to hit a running move as a reversal to the Irish Whip. The problem is, it's been done to death, so now it's just a cliché move, like the drop down or the back body drop reversal (that thing they do when one ducks and the other knees them in the face)
21:37 funny, this reminded me of Bubba's 2015 Royal Rumble cameo in which he performed a 3D assisted by, of all people, Truth. Obscure continuity...
your girlfriend impersoniate you was on point, bruh! 😂😂😂
You could have said "Wesley Jones takes your girl and jumps her bones."
No, scones are delicious, good choice.
Lol that's pretty good
@@funandyvideos scones are wonderful
"Wesley Jones takes your girl to buy scones and then bones until she moans"
Seems like he came in kind of green and would've done better as the outside-the-ring enforcer then being in the matches, where you could land one or two moves on the outside or behind the ref's back ot cheat. In the meantime he could've been honing his work on Xplosion or dark matches or whatever rather then trying to be in ring for main/upper midcard talent.
It's hilarious that "A1" grade/name/whatever is associated with highspeed things (highways, racing circuit in Austria, a junior racing league), but Alistair A1 Ralphz was anything but speedy, or even exciting for that matter
Anticlimatic1 :D
A1 is actually inpired by the Italian grading system at schools, where the higher the number is, the higher the vote. If you have an A, we have a 10. And he is, indeed, a 1.
I think steak sauce you drown a bad steak in when I hear A1
A1 is more forgettable due to the fact that his team carries him. His debut match shows him just going through the fucking motions.
Literally a “who’s who” of “who” in this vid lmao
He brings massive shame to the steak sauce of the same name.
I seen so many A1 matches in the Michigan independents around that time. The best parts of his matches were the crowds chanting "A1 Suck Sauce" and his matches ending.
A1 is another one in the Bischoff - Briscoe category; maybe away from the camera with some time to develop, he could have been decent. The bad thing is, he had a good look, and time learning from some guys he shared a ring with could have made him into something.
Also, the cameo appearance 😂 she did well, and if you don't like it, I'll make your girl's stomach swell 🤰🏾
They used to chant “A1 steak sauce” at the BCW shows in Windsor, so I’m guessing that’s where the sign in the crowd at 29:07 comes from.
A1! Haha I remember him. Team Canada's muscle. He came out in that x division battle Royal held by Kevin Nash
This is kind of a landmark video I've been wanting to see a video on A1 forever now and the cherry on top is the video itself is fantastic and has all the hallmarks and things that make the hawk great. You truly become an amazing unique CZcamsr who can make my jaded, miserable ass laugh out loud in the car on the way to work. You're the standard now brother!!
I'm so happy you did this - as a Canadian A1 was a big thing when Team Canada came out and the Indy Scene was often using them
who the hell is A-1
telecommunications company. probably ...
I do wonder why he was called A-1 maybe because he thought he could be a big piece of paper cause hes just as effective as one lol
or he thought he's Saucy
I think of steak sauce when I see A-1!
I remember A1 lol. He was tiny but jacked
12:57 "...Or his teeth are about to give birth."
LOL WTF Marky
Here's a good idea for a "Was it any good?" video: Ric Flair and the Magnificent Seven in WCW 2001. So far no one has done a full review on that stable and their involvement in the last days of WCW, so it's a good topic to cover.
I legitimately felt bad for EY getting a shot at the tag titles but having to partner with A1. Any other member of Team Canada would have been infinitely better.
Don't let Dixie Carter see @29:27
She'll say that's another thing WWE stole from her involving Eric Young 😂😂
Hawk I got a few recommendations for ROH if you wanna take a look.
Mean mark ( undertaker) nwa/wcw
Salinas ( shelly martinez) tna
Rodney mack wwe
David Arquette wcw
I always pop when you say.. Sonny "Don't Look At My Ass" Siaki lol 😆 😂 🤣
A1 was actually acknowledged by commentators as he was in the crowd watching Scott D'Amore's comeback match at one of recent iMPACT! Wrestling's events a few months back.
"Not that much is known about A1, apart from he sucks." That's as close as A1's ever going to get a chance to "Billy Gunn" the King of the Ring.
A1 is a well-known steak sauce in North America.
Even Stevie Ray and Harry “David Hart Davey Boy jr” Smith watch an A-1 tag match and are like “damn don’t you want to do yknow SOMETHING to help your partner?”
this one is my worst of the season for me personally. Bastion Booger was absolutely disgusting but *atleast* you could argue that it was unique... even for the wrong reasons. A1 suffers from being painfully boring; nothing is worse than being boring as it can't even potentially get the benefit of "so bad it's good" or something. This entire run I kept waiting for the Hawk to say "Final Match" lol
he kinda looks like Alexander Hammerstone
A-1 is a popular Steak Sauce in canada. It was meant to imply that he was the meat of Team Canada.
I think he was just so green they didn't want him in the ring much. Only reason I can think of for him to do so little
The guy has two first names, and one of them is in plural form. I know there are some benefits of using your real name as a wrestler, but if anyone needed a stage name it's this guy.
And BTW, fun fact: Wikipedia lists 3 different spellings of Alastair Ralphs that he used during his career, and also 3 different spellings of A-1. No joke.
literally no idea who this guy was.
The name A1 always made me laugh as he has the same name as a portable toilet supplier down the road from me 🤣💩
Okay, I have watched the video now, wow A1 really did just coast off of more talented wrestlers. That is one of the most heinous cases of coasting ever. I remember the You Can't Wrestle chants when I was like 13 years old on TV during that Team Canada disbanding segment.
¿A1 and B2 in WWE are somekind related?
What if we have C3PO as a wrestler 😄
I remember A1. Did he really just kick out of the Triple Jump Moonsault at 3? Damn, boy. Show some respect.
Jerrelle Clark is Mr. 630! Mikey Batts is...Mikey Batts!
Holy crap, he rolled out of the Gore, too. This is bugging me out.
Do my boy Luther Reigns, he's got 25 tv matches
actually what we were thinking is "fuck raid shadow legends"..
A1 is a steak sauce in the US. That's probably why he was getting ironic cheers.
The first few tag matches the dude was so limited that even when he tagged in, Roode or Petey were immediately shoving him out of the ring. But even in his last few matches he was massively limited. Barely enough moves or go-to spots to build up heat when he took offense. I imagine he probably didn't get much in-ring time since he was mostly in tag matches. Just rough.
Why Everyone Hates on Alastair Ralphs he was in the original maple leaf muscle right before Petey Wlliams was
The Hawk looks like he's auditioning for Raid Shadow Legends as a half-orc
If I remember the lore correctly, Raven or Road Dogg miss read the name on a card at an indie show which lead to Al becoming A1. Who knows if that was true?
I am Canadian and I don't believe we have a notable road A-1 around. It is a brand of brown sauce, though.
I used to see this guy sometimes when Team Canada was running Rampant in TNA. I just chalked him off as "the guy named after Steak Sauce". Was kinda baffled on how he wasn't around when Petey/Bobby and Eric stuck around AND got very popular comparatively.
Also yo, was that Mrs. Hawk? Awesome lol
I forgot this joker existed. Good video Marky.
It seemed like everything he did both move wise & selling were done well. But obviously if all you do is in small numbers ain’t nobody gonna remember any of it.
I don't see the problem with guys like this. Why is there an assumption that everyone hired by a wrestling company is to be pushed to the moon?
It's lesser seen these days but I remember a lot of popular tag teams or stsbles would hire additional members who in essence were there to work and nothing more. They come in to the take the falls so the more established popular names don't have to.
Hold up hold up...
Weren't A1 a 90s boyband, they sang same old brand new you
I heard A-1 was a “saucy wrestler”. He stole great muta’s finisher but spit A-1 sauce in their eyes. 😂
dude looking like monster Tweety with that hair
My god that was a gauntlet. At least there were more interesting guys in the matches though right?
WTF was that hawk impression! 🤣 Adorable
Would be interesting to see an episode looking at the brief run of Alex Wright's character in WCW in 1999 as Berlyn
The video starts at approximately 1:50.
Where do you find these matches? I want to rewatch some of these.
"You'd better leave something in, because I know what isn't going in" 😂
If you don't say "Don't look at my ass" when saying mentioning Sonny Siaki, you're not saying it right.
I heard the reason he was A1 was Al Snow saw his name on a card and thought it said A1 instead of Al So it kinda stuck 😏
I've seen way worse than this guy....maybe I missed something?
rob the roider can he jag it rob the roider yes he can
Did Markyd123 Ever do the "Ultimate Manicas" (Randy Savage & Ultimate Warrior) I wonder does it make the cut of matches?
Video idea, Naturals w/ Jimmy Hart v. w/ Shane Douglas.
12:05 A1 was holding Hoyt’s leg
off-camera. That was obvious.
When your wrestling name is steak sauce...
Sabin doing that kick with the ddt was really cool
You known who A1 reminds me off of, a young Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Ohhhh no......The Hawk is partaking in the bird feed now. He's sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. What happened to you Hawk? 😭😭
money
@@vegetalover9297 well duh 😂
I guess even the Hawk has to do the j.o.b.
I remember Jerelle Clark. His gimmick was Mr. 630 because he use 630 splash as finisher. At that time I think maybe he's the only one who can hit it.
Clark was good don't know why he didn't get a bigger push.
Love ur vids hawk I was excited when I seen this since a1 was a part of team Canada and Petey Williams was the shit when I watched tna back in the day but I never realised they weren’t a good faction lol was hoping to see some Canadian destroyers in this vid
You should make some of your recurring/joke characters in a wrestling game. Hawk Hogan, Slapnutz, Mold Dogg, the Idiot Abyss, Raisin, Obese Indian Boy,, Perc Angle "Don't Look at my Ass" Siaki, the master of the Cab Driver Slametc
Put them in as "the Shove-it Zone" a heel faction in your campaing mode, which otherwise has the winners of Ring of the Hawk. For special occasions or whenever you are in need of a quick video, you could run an episode or Ring of the Hawk Battle Royale
Fun fact: A1 is from Placenta, NL just approximately 1hr away from where I live in Newfoundland.
The announcers are probably calling him Alastair because his real name is Alastair Ralphs.
Honestly every video you make just feels like a friend telling me bout old tna
This was the first ad for Raid Shadow Legends that got me to download the game. 1 minute in I hated it, 2 minutes I couldn't find the the squad, 3 minutes in I uninstalled it.
That's OK I needed something to do on my break.
I've never seen so many consistent S ratings for a Ring of The Hawk entry before. God damn🤣
jump to 1:51 to skip the raids shadow legends ad
They really named bro after steak sauce
Is it just me, or Markyd is way too rough on him? Like he was green and he was on the mega-heel faction, so what did he expect from him? A-1 was supposed to be heat magnet, you weren't supposed to like him more than everyone else in the ring
A1 once did a small show in Tillsonburg, Ontario where a good friend of mine was the referee, training to become a wrestler. My friend botched the finish and A1 was so mad at losing he almost powerbombed the guy for real
🤣😂🤣@14:12 the guy w him was clearly mortally terrified when that pyro went off...from the way he had his hand over his heart, to me, looked like he thought he was gonna have a heart attack and die on the spot🤣. the best part though...he embarassingly repeats the motion moments later trying to make people think he wasn't scared shitless...it was just an odd gesture for wtf ever reason🤣
Peter Williams mentioned in a shoot that A1 was a really funny guy I am su/reprised they didn’t use this to his strengths. Typical TNA booking
Whenever I hear the name A-1, it's usually the steak sauce I first hear of...or the wrestler in the video.
Whooa! spinning kick from Viscera
I watched every week and bought PPVs and I don't even remember this guy.
Well then u must not ov been watching cuz he was all over the show before Eric young got kicked out and A1 disappeared 6 weeks later
@@kevinlock7637 I remember Team Canada but know there's no memories of him.
what was marty jannetty doing in ECW? would be a good vid hawk
