"It wasn't my fault!".

Those were the, rather infamous, words of one Gene Snitsky as he attempted to justify pushing Kane on top of a pregnant Lita and causing her to miscarry in 2004. He then showed his remorse by booting a toy baby into the crowd on Raw. Wrestling, eh? It's not what it used to be.

This past June, the miscarriage-causing, foot-fetish-loving big man announced to fans on Instagram that he was stepping away from active wrestling to spend more time with his girlfriend and focus on weight-training. Aged 48, Snitsky admitted he had fallen out of love with the biz and planned to look back on his career fondly rather than grind on the indy circuit.
