Gene Snitksy was never the most mentally stable individual, but when he went from Raw to ECW in the 2007 draft, he seemed to have gone off the deep end. Before the jump, he was teaming up with Goldust in a mid-card babyface tag team of weirdos. Sadly Goldust was let go, and Snitsky had to pave his own way.

Upon his debut in the land of extreme, he had a drastically new appearance. His head was shaved, his teeth were yellow and his eyebrows had disappeared. Those few months must have been a rough patch in his life.

He was once again provided with a fairly big push as a singles wrestler, and given a winning streak in ECW. He was brought back to Raw to battle some of the top talent like John Cena and Jeff Hardy, but came up short.

Seeing that his career was going nowhere, he requested his release in 2008 and promptly grew his eyebrows back.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
