It wasn't his fault. Gene Snitsky was another one of those big, hulking wrestlers that was billed at 6'8" (probably close to that legitimately) and weighed around 290 pounds in WWE. He recently popped up in TNA looking around the same size. He actually worked for WWE from September 2004 through the end of 2008 although his time in the spotlight really wasn't that long. His debut took place with his involvement in the Kane/Lita storyline where he debuted as a newcomer that accidentally knocked down Lita, who was storyline pregnant at the time. Then he uttered his "it wasn't my fault" catchphrase. He also punted a fake baby at one point because that's entertaining in WWE's eyes. Once that whole stupid gimmick wore off he became a guy obsessed with women's feet. Maybe those creepy guys exist in the real world, but in the wrestling business it's not something that fans would consider entertaining. From there he became an odd tag team with Heidenreich that really didn't go anywhere. We're not really sure why he lasted in WWE for about five years because his contributions were really not that great and his performances in the ring were below average. Once again it's a case of a bigger guy getting more of a chance simply because of his size.
