"Who could ever forget Gene Snitsky?", nobody in the history of ever has asked.

WWE's resident baby-murdering psychopath with a foot fetish was only supposed to be make a one-off appearance against Kane on the September 13, 2004 edition of Raw - but everyone was so taken with Gene that he stuck around until 2008.

If you detected some sarcasm there, then you were paying attention; Snitsky struggled to really find his place on the main roster, and even later formed a tag team with Heidenreich, another man battling to retain relevancy.

Come the November 8 episode of Raw, a soft-spoken Snitsky invaded Lita's appearance on Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel and carried a fake baby to the ring. As if it wasn't bad enough that the announcers reasoned Snitsky had killed Lita and Kane's unborn child, the big man then punted this rubber kid into the front row.

Both Jericho and Lita looked shocked, although it must be noted that Y2J couldn't stop glancing at the fan celebrating his big catch at ringside.

By far the most memorable moment of Snitsky's career, this field-goal worthy kick is one you should avoid watching with those who 'just don't get' wrestling.
