15 WWE Wrestlers Who Lost A Name
10. (Gene) Snitsky
When you accidentally go from being a one-night jobber to a
guy kicking a baby doll into a delighted crowd, you know you’ve hit on
something.
Snitsky was something of a special case in WWE. He debuted in 2004 as a jobber facing Kane during his “impregnating Lita” phase. (Yes, that was a thing.) During the melee, Gene Snitsky managed to hit Kane with a chair, knocking the Big Red Machine onto Lita, causing her to miscarry the baby.
That one incident somehow turned Snitsky into a thing, as did his “It wasn’t my fault!” catchphrase. The most memorable moment had to be when he carried and then kicked a baby doll into the crowd, doing anything he could to be a full-fledged heel. Of course, heels with the first name “Gene” are few and far between.
Snitsky would lose that first name and go by his last name only, which sounded weird enough as it was, matching his appearance. (The shaved head and yellow teeth era was pretty brutal.) Snitsky’s stay in WWE was relatively brief and uneventful after that initial burst, but he certainly provided one of the more interesting moments in Raw history.
