Gene Snitsky genuinely loved feet, at least according to one former WWE peer.

Former WWE worker Nick Dinsmore (best-known for his stint as Eugene) has told the 'It's My Wrestling Podcast' that Gene Snitsky's foot fetish angle was a shoot.

Dinsmore described his old friend as "a great guy", but claims his old fetish gimmick was based on reality. According to Nick, it wasn't uncommon for Snitsky to ask if he could rub someone's feet on the road - once, Dinsmore even witnessed him ask an air hostess if she could take her shoes off after a gruelling 16-hour flight.

She obliged, and Gene got his wish by rubbing her (surely sweaty and sore) feet.

Meanwhile, ol' Nick just sat there wondering why the f*ck she was up for letting some random pro wrestler give her an impromptu foot massage. He wasn't one to judge though, and actually finds the story rather hilarious to this day.

Dinsmore went on to recall how Snitsky would always go for pedicures in between WWE shows. He was also fond of painting his toenails, and smoking cigars in his flip flops with 'dem toes out. Obviously, nobody said a word to the guy.
