20 Worst WWE Wrestlers Since 2000

7. Snitsky

Best known for his involvement in the god-awful Kane/Lita romance angle (during which he punted a doll intended to represent their actual baby into the crowd), Snitsky isn't just one of WWE's worst big men of all time, but a historically cringe-worthy performer who featured at the heart of some of the modern era's absolute worst programming.

Snitsky's direction was appalling. From his union with Heidenreich to his days as a foot fetishist, he was an intergalactic disaster, and these creative atrocities were reflected in the ring.

On a list full of big, ungainly ogres, Gene stands out for his flaws. He was never able to project the required aura of intimidation, and always felt more like a guy playing pro wrestling than an actual monster, thus breaking the audience's immersion every time he was on-screen. Somehow, Snitsky was able to last more than four years as a full-time main roster performer, never once looking convincing in his role, even when portraying a comedic goofball.

Snitsky was certainly memorable, but for continually derailing the product rather than bringing any tangible positive qualities to the table, hence his lofty positioning.
