10 Times Vince McMahon Loved Big Sweaty Men
7. Snitsky
Snitsky's first official match on RAW way back in 2004 was against Kane. That match saw Gene, who was still in possession of his first name, hit The Big Red Machine from behind causing Kane fall on top of Lita who went on to miscarry her unborn baby. 2004 was a strange time, wasn't it?
What wasn't strange was the fact that Vince McMahon was blown away by a big, sweaty man with more size than actual wrestling ability. Standing at 6 ft 8 and weighing in at 296 pounds, the man who claimed it 'wasn't his fault' was right up the boss' alley.
Famed for smelling really bad, sadly for his sake out of kayfabe rather than in it, Snitsky would fall down the card before being released from WWE in 2008.
It's no coincidence that Snitsky's dramatic change in appearance was his ultimate downfall. He arrived with muscles aplenty but left looking like somebody had let some air out of him. Back in 2007, he was caught up in the mass suspension of performers relating to the purchasing of performance enhancing drugs from an online pharmacy. While Snitsky wasn't identified as a client of Signature Pharmacy he was suspended for 30 days for his first violation of the company's Wellness Policy. Both PWInsider.com and the Wrestling Observer reported that a drug test failure triggered the suspension.
Snitsky would eventually lose all the muscle Vince McMahon loved so dearly, presumably meaning he was taken off the gas completely. If you're going to be a big sweaty man that Vince falls in love with the moral of this story shows you better be a clean one.
